I would label gimp and inkscape as print publishing tools, which does
not fall under audio/video media. Yes, its arguable that print media
could fall under the name "Media Production", but they don't really seem
directly related to me. I'm trying to balance having too many groups
(music/audio and video gets hard to distinguish between, when you
consider something like Cinelerra.) versus too few. (Adding print to the
mix seems like too much)

I suppose it could be "Audio/Video Media Production" but that's getting
a bit long. "A/V Production" maybe...
