I will admit. I fell in love with this site and the program \t\t\t\tbecause of the free beer logo. But the program is even better \t\t\t\tthan the logo. There’s a story you need to know. I know you all \t\t\t\tlove stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in the day, the only way to make professional flash \t\t\t\tanimations and flash movies was to spend about $900 for Adobe \t\t\t\tFlash. And when you did, you realized that you may as well have \t\t\t\ttaken that $900 and thrown it out you window and let the birds \t\t\t\teat it. Because once you paid your money and got the program and \t\t\t\tthen you realized you’d you either have to travel to a monastery \t\t\t\tin Tibet, and live in seclusion for 27 years eating crickets and \t\t\t\tchives, while you learned the program, pay some geeky yuppie \t\t\t\t$500 a hour to teach it to you, or just go to Control Panel \/ \t\t\t\tPrograms \/ Remove Programs and get rid of it and watch your $900 \t\t\t\tgo down the cyber drain while you cry in your not-free beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m actually surprised that someone in this cynical, greedy \t\t\t\tworld has pity and compassion. I’m happy to tell you that the \t\t\t\tdeveloper of Vectorian Giotto is such a man. He will save you \t\t\t\t$900 as well as a trip to Tibet – and you won’t be chirping like \t\t\t\ta cricket. With excellent tutorials, examples and instructions – \t\t\t\tyou’ll be making interesting flash movies and animations in, \t\t\t\twell, in almost a flash.<\/p>\n

“Vectorian Giotto gives you all the drawing \t\t\t\ttools you need to create a perfect drawing for your Flash movie. \t\t\t\tAside from the standard lines, rectangles, ellipses and freehand \t\t\t\tbrushes and lines, Giotto has the vector eraser tool and \t\t\t\tsupports automatic object merging when drawing shapes with the \t\t\t\tsame brush.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Well that about sums ‘er up. If you want to \t\t\t\texpand your horizons and be a creator, or if you just want to \t\t\t\texperiment, play around and have fun – you’ll really like this \t\t\t\tprogram.
