Description

Scribus Software

Scribus is an open source desktop publishing software used to create high quality documents that are intended to be printed or viewed digitally. It is an ideal software to create layouts and various graphic documents. Equivalent to the InDesign software of the Adobe series, Scribus has nothing to envy to its famous competitor, indeed the possibilities are impressive. The software is professional level, and can manage different profiles. It allows of course to export work under different file including PDF and image format. It is also possible to manage its CMYK or RGB color mode according to the destination of its document, for printing or for the web. Scribus also allows you to manipulate vector images that are composed of individual geometric objects and geometric primitives. This is how a vector image can resize without loss of quality, unlike image files composed of pixels.

What you can do with Scribus

The choice is wide with Scribus, you can create a wide range of graphic document because the software is very versatile. Of course, it puts a special emphasis on the layout of texts, photos, logos, etc ... You will be able to make complete presentations of several pages.

Clearly the instructor knows what he's doing, but to call it English is a bit of a stretch. Maybe Closed Caption would be useful, don't know if that's an option.

Some tricks are described in this course. After I learned it, I understood using scribus, although some videos were repeated. some videos are misordered, such as the logo part 1-2 upside down the video. some tools there are that have not been explained such as text frame links, so the text will continue to the specified layout. I don't think it is necessary to explain beyond the title and topic, so that students will immediately understand what is meant.

Very thorough. Repeats how to accomplish various tasks from earlier tools while teaching another tool, which reinforces how the software works.

Class is good, The interest, attitude of the teacher matches with enthusiasm of learner. One problem I met with is that software version is currentle renewed and it is 1.5.4, and its options are different from this explained version. The text (notes that appear as subtitles) that is given with the tutorial is full of mistakes which cannot be admitted. The direct text capture from voice made this problem. There should be correct and apt voice. Enough PDF text material, and manuals should be provided. Assignments and taks are necessary for the learner to practice thoroughly. Except al these limitations Video tutorials are best. PORTIONS LIKE TABLE OF CONTENTS ARE MUST BE INCLUDED

Excellent course - the more I watch it, the better I'm finding it. I'm giving this five stars because the content has really helped me - a DTP novice - get some understanding of how to use Scribus to do what I need to do. The content is very detailed and covers a lot of stuff and for me the best bits have been watching the instructor create the projects near the end of the course. The instructor also makes mistakes and doesn't edit them out, instead he shows you how to correct them - so valuable for us students to see how to fix issues as we go. The subtitles are auto generated so not very accurate and the instructor's accent on some words can be a little tricky but because you are watching what he does on the screen it's easy enough to work out what he means. And I am always in awe of people who are brave enough to teach in a second language. This is totally a five star course for me and I'm just sorry that this instructor doesn't have more students - this course teaches so much of value that it deserves to be much more popular. Thank you so much, Monsieur Turner!

This course gave me a good base to start from. The organization of the course is such that I can easily go back and reference how to use certain tools, which is helpful. I especially liked the examples of how to create various projects, as I was able to see the practical application of the different tools. The instructor does have a pretty thick accent, so extra attention is needed to follow what he is teaching.

Subject matter appears correct level, but I'm having a devil of a time understanding the instructor. Hopefully I'll get used to what to me is a heavy accent.

Very enjoyable course and the accent is so cool. The tutorials are good but I think the course would benefit from having some strategies explained. Strategies? OK we know how to create and use layers but there must be some experience that suggests what is good to have in 'Background'. Is it better to put all images in a dedicated layer and all text in another layer? What if you are making a template e.g. for a notice board (flyer) that will be updated each month. Would you put standard items (background colours / gradients, images, contact details) on the background layer? This does not detract from a wonderful course I've really enjoyed working through. Scribus is now a go-to piece of software for me. Thank you
