Hello there, My name is James, I am a new subscriber to the Fedora Design Team. My recent transition from a Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS enviroment to the Linux / Inkscape / Gimp / Open source world has been an eye opener. I really like the idea of a community based project and can't wait to help out you guys in the future. I am proficiant in the use of both Inkscape and gimp, avid reader of computer arts & grafik. Unfortunately I am low on example work (it's complicated), I currently have alot of spare time on my hands, so I am putting it to good use on a new portfolio. Is there library of base fedora media that I can get my hands on? Kind Regards James M _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

You can find a lot of resources on the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Artwork And in our shared storage area: http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/ -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Thank you everyone you have made me feel very welcome :) I have scanned over the wiki pages for your group. I have also checked out the design team group and the logo policy page which are both incredibly useful.

I will create some wallpapers and icons for starters, just so you guys know I also know a fair bit about HTML/XHTML & CSS, PHP and i am currently learning the art of font creation.

One thing I am not too clear about is the submission of work, I understand that currently I am not a contributing member and thus cannot submit via the CLA but I can display my work on the wiki via hot linking. Is this correct?

You can absolutely sign up for a Fedora account right now at

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts There are different teams within that system. The Fedora design team requires that you submit one piece of work for critique by the group from our work item list on https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1

We grant you membership in the team group in the account system upon successful completion of the task. Does that make more sense?

Cool! Here's some tips to help you work through the task: - currently our banners are speced for 200px by 100px. Here's an example: http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/f11release.png - they typically have rounded corners - The font we use is MgOpen Modata. It's available in Fedora with 'yum install mgopen-fonts -y'. You can also download it here: http://www.zvr.gr/typo/mgopen/index
