GIMP for Web Design?

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

I got this mail:

Hi Rolf Steinort,

First congratulations for your shows… I just met them.. they are great.

I am Daniel from Brazil.

I would like to ask you one thing.

I am new in webdesign and till now, I have being used to make my layouts, Inkscape. But I talk with some and see that a lot of people use photoshop to make a web layout. So, I am with vector program and a lot of people use a bitmap editor…

Searching … I found that some people use Gimp to make layout too.. and I found some tutorial.. but they are very weak. Could be possible you cover this in some of your shows ?

Just a classic layout would be already enough to me.. I just need some base to start.

Thanks and keep this great work.

Best,
Daniel

I have no idea what to answer. My gut feeling is to stay with vector based programs. For what do you need raster images in web design except for photo manipulation?

Please share your thoughts in the comments!
