Hi Bernhard
Such a quick reply for my weird timezone [Australia]! I have read
the 2005 style guide for the projects. Then I looked at the art work already
submitted such as business cards and splash screens. Then I went to the
official site for Ooo artwork and downloaded some logos onto my Adobe
Illustrator.
It all looks good; the artwork is of a high standard. I'm not
sure what I'll tackle yet. Business cards could make sense since I have
already covered them in my graphics course. I usually use adobe Indesign or
illustrator. I have photoshop but I don't use it much. But I like opensource
tools as well like GIMP!
Thanks for the help and I'll read through things and find a
project to work on.
Best Regards
John

You already did exactly the right thing: Having a look around and joining
the mailing list :-)
If you didn't find our wiki already, I'd like to show you the content at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art.
Even if the wiki pages are not finished yet, there you might get an insight
of what we are working on (or should be working on).
Additionally you might have a look at this mailing list's archive
(http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=art). If
you read about the last three or four topics, you are quite up-to-date.
In case of any questions / suggestions please don't hesitate to post here
again.
After that you will have an impression about what artwork is needed:
In the moment we want to provide clipart for OpenOffice.org (OOo in short)
that might improve the clipart gallery inside the program, but this task is
just at the first steps.
The artwork galleries (aditional and official) needs new or updated artwork,
the wiki pages could become even more user-friendly and instructive for
people requesting or providing artwork ...
If you find any point you are interested in, just tell us and start working
on it (either on your own or together with us).
Thank you for joining our group - I hope you will feel like me: it's fun and
helps improving OpenOffice.org!
Best regards
Bernhard
