[Design-team] Introduction to mailing list
Hi all I'm Tareq Al Jurf from Saudi Arabia.I have experience in many artwork programs. Here's an example of a wallpaper i made: http://taljurf.fedorapeople.org/Wallpapers/ I would like to contribute to the design team and help them in their tasks. I am willing to post a wallpaper to the extra's before the 9th of October, i hope i'll get confirmation fast :) I already applied to the design team on the FAS. I wish that you accept me in the team. regards -- Tareq Al Jurf Fedora Ambassador Riyadh, Saudi Arabia talj...@fedoraproject.org ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

[Design-team] A4 Request
Hi All I'm making A4 Flyers and i want the background to be this https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/thumb/0/0c/F12-80-dual.png/500px-F12-80-dual.png but in order to fit it, i need to scale it up which decreases the quality i need it as a portrait (even if cropped) if not, landscape is ok Regards -- Tareq Al Jurf Fedora Ambassador Riyadh, Saudi Arabia talj...@fedoraproject.org ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
