RICHARD STALLMAN: Made entirely of free source code. In his website you can tell that the source is shared simply by looking at the layout and format of the website. It is rather simple and does not appear to have the athetisism that most websites hold. Although I do not like the look of the website, it appears that his work is an original idea breaking free from the typical websites.
Below is Richard Prince's Instagram Creations. Personally I find his work frustrating in the sense that it is merely copying an original idea and then pushing it as his own. I do not agree with the moral background.

Simple Typography in Libre Graphics
One of the hardest things to control in Libre Graphics is the fact there is no cursor to move the object so it is put into the space randomly.
My Original Image
This is an image for inspiration for what I had in mind. I decided to crop the images in circles and then place them on the canvas on GIMP. GIMP doesn't allow for too much scope whilst editing so I cropped the images before I went into GIMP. I then placed them in a formation where they appeared that they were looking to the right.
I feel this image works a lot better for scale. Although there is only one scale I still wanted the image to be visible so you could view the picture.
Using the image I then placed the title LIBRE GRAPHICS to look like a promotional poster for LIBRE GRAPHICS. I feel it works well with all the different colours overlapping. Overall I would not use GIMP as professional platform for editing because it is so difficult to use and it is limiting to what you can do. There is no cursor to move the object so it is placed randomly at will. This platform of editing is more for recreational things or just simple fun editing!
