Analyzing digital resources that you will get help from is important, especially when you work with digital media. Everything from the publication date, voting systems, and authors matter (varying on the topic, of course!) Here are three articles I found, analyzed by recentness, author credibility, post gatekeeping mechanisms, clarity and overall quality, and if in the end, I’d return to use them.
https://smallbusiness.chron.com/rotate-selections-gimp-51543.html
I looked up how to rotate images in Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and this article appeared first. I can’t tell how old it is as a date was not posted and there is no indicator of when it might have been posted. The author is Kevin Lee, and he has been writing technology articles since 1989, so he seems credible to write tech articles, but one can never know if he has mastered the specific program. It’s quite simple, though, so I’d trust him. I am unfamiliar with CHRON, but it seems to be a newsletter/blog written by various different authors centering around business. There is no comment or upvote system on the post. The article is clear and to the point, but very specific. The title is ‘How to Rotate Selections in Gimp’ but it’s more like ‘How to Make and Rotate a Rectangular Selection.’ There are many different selection tools in GIMP, so if one is explained as a step, it makes sense to mention the others so as to not accidentally mislead someone into not seeing the other options. It’s still a good article, short and straightforward. I’d use it, GIMP is a little tricky to get used to at first.
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-pick-a-font#what-are-serif-fonts
This is a free Masterclass article from February 25, 2022. It’s recent, but recentness doesn’t matter as the information here doesn’t get outdated as if it were specific to a program. It was made by David Carson who teaches graphic design, so it seems that he is a professional and very experienced. I don’t think Masterclass has a comments or voting system, at least for the free articles, but it’s not like just anyone can post either. the gimmick of Masterclass is that they are all masters at what they teach. This article is thorough but not wordy, it gives you little insights into the history of fonts and their terminology without being distracting or bushy. It’s organized super neatly and it’s easy to follow along with and is very interesting! I loved reading this article, I learned a lot and I’m actually going to come back again for a second read!

I don’t know when this article was posted, or who wrote it, but it was posted by a site centers around printing and photos, so it seems quite credible to me. There is no comment or upvote system, but it doesn’t seem like just anyone can post either. The article is clear and thorough, it doesn’t give one-sided solutions and it has a handy chart with printing size recommendations. I’ll certainly return to use it.
