Dude hell yeah. I’m also a huge fan of open source software.

Fun fact – the original Extra Chill logo was designed with Gimp. So were our tie-dye stickers.

The one thing about it is the learning curve, it’s kind of difficult to figure out. I’ve never used photoshop, but someone I talked to said it’s basically the same learning curve that you’d have with PS, except for free. I find myself using Canva more these days because it’s super easy to use, but definitely not as powerful.

Adobe software is all ridiculously expensive.

Another fun fact – Extra Chill is basically powered by open source software. WordPress is also free and open source, and probably my favorite open source software ever. This forum is run by another open source software too, bbPress, created by the WordPress folks.

I love how you can get super creative with open source software. Not only is it legal, but it’s encouraged! Badass.
