Create Double Exposure Logos with Inkscape

In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to create double exposure logos using Inkscape. Double exposure is a technique that allows you to create an optical illusion in which two objects are exposed at once. In order for this to work in a logo design, the objects will be merged together to make a single object. This is something that is usually implemented in photography and photo editing, but if done right it can work just as a logo design as well.
The resources used in this tutorial can be found here: logosbynick.com/create-double...

    Hey nick I just want to say awesome video! I just stared using Inkscape and I’m trying to figure out how it works. If would ask a question I noticed your canvas was not displayed in the background so I was wondering how you setup your canvas or art board settings. I’m also not allowed grab and quickly adjust or reposition the canvas and I not allowed to add multiple canvas on one document which really interferes with my workflow.
