I use CorelDRAW 7 to
draw my all my diagrams. Like all graphics design software, it takes
a while to learn how to use it. After 4 years of use, I've become
quite comfortable with it.
The pictures:
The pictures in "Mette Units", my first book, were taken with a regular
point and shoot camera and then scanned.
The pictures in books 2 - 5 were taken with a Sony
Mavica (MVC-FD7) digital camera. The pictures are saved as .jpgs
on a diskette in the camera. I then import the .jpgs into CorelDraw
.
Most of the pictures in book 6 were taken with a Minolta
Dimage X.
The books:
I no longer print and bind the books myself. As of January 2010, the books
are printed by CreateSpace.
You can still read about how I used to self-publish my books.
