Hello everyone,
I'm Varun, a Computer Science Undergrad working around with Linux for 1.5+ years. So far I've used CentOS, RHEL 7, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora, Zorin, Mint, and Kali. Currently, I'm using Fedora 25. I joined the Fedora Project as I'm enthusiastic about open source and I wish to contribute my efforts to this community.
I'm a blogger. I create and write articles for https://www.technotification.com and been doing so since Dec '13. I have intermediate experience with System Administration on Red Hat based systems, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
I've created the account at FAS and I look forward to contributing to Fedora QA, content writing, and design.
Thanks and regards,
Varun Singh.
Greetings, Varun, and welcome to the Design Team mailing list! Happy to have you here with us. :) Sounds like you have a broad range of experience working with Linux.
I just sent some of this info a day or two ago on the mailing list, so I'm going to repeat it for your benefit as well to help you find ways to get started with Fedora Design!
The way I would recommend getting started and becoming familiar with contributing to the Design Team is to check out Fedora Badges. Badges are a unique thing in Fedora that allows contributors to earn virtual badges for doing things in the community. You can learn a little more about them at this page:
https://badges.fedoraproject.org/about
It gives you a chance to mess around with Inkscape and actually get to see some of your art become Fedora official. There's some starter resources and style guides I would recommend downloading / reviewing before you pick a badge. All of Fedora's badges follow design guidelines so they all fit in with each other and follow a common theme. Check these out:

https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/Desig nResources/styleguide_full.pdf
Once you have a chance to dig through some of these, you can start
hunting out a badge to find and try working on. The easiest way to look
for badges pending artwork is by going here:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/report
{8} and {9} may have a few to pick out, but {26} may have a few buried
in there too. Don't be afraid to pick up a ticket if there hasn't been
any activity on it for a while either.
This is probably a lot to throw at you all at once, but hopefully it
helps. If you have any questions, please ask them!! We're happy to
help in any way we can. Thanks for sending your introduction here on the list! Again, welcome to the Design Team.
