You should maybe also check out Alchemy here: http://al.chemy.org/

It’s a really nice ‘Open Source’ vector based drawing program.

What Is Open Source & How Does It Relate To Graphic Design…

Chances are you have heard of Open Source, and if you haven’t you will have used it in some form or another. But what does the term “open source” actually mean? An open source program is one who’s source code can be accessed, improved and redistributed…

Steve, as mentioned about in the paragraph on “Recommendations for Design Work”, one Open Source alternative to Adobe Illustrator is Inkscape.

Hi Steve,
there is mention in the article of Inkscape under this heading: Visualisation, Graphics, Photo editing and Diagramming Tools. You will find a link there too. Best Wishes

As a graphic arts school, I was wondering if you have any recommendations for an open source alternative to Adobe Illustrator? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I personally tend to favour SSuite Office’s free office suites. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient.
