I am looking for a tutorial on using Inkscape. I read that pencil icon tutorial by http://www.starfishwebconsulting.co.uk/pencil_icon But I want a more comprehensive reference book kinda tutorial. I created a dictionary for the echo icon theme, but I did not dare post it.. It sucked... 2 thinned cuboids for the 2 covers. I was unable to resize it to a size I wanted. And a bezier curve kinda curved faces rectangle for the pages. I would have done better If I had known how to round the edges etc. Thanks in advance.. And yeah... I love blue too.

Most of the designs that I have, whether it is a webpage or else UI from World of Warcraft, is viewable from my website: http://www.sinisterfx.org and for the World of Warcraft UI's, in the forums of http://kota.sinisterfx.org. How familiar am I with GIMP? I have attempted to use it, and have been working on it a lot more. Coming from an era of Photoshop, it does take some getting use to, but I have been working on it fairly solid now for the last few months. Depressingly, it's not as much time in as I have with Photoshop, but it's like going from an automatic, to standard transmission -- easily done, just takes getting use to is all.

Good day to you too, Since I graduated from high school, I began moving off from pencil/paper artwork, and have moved more towards computer generated graphics. I've used numerous graphics programs to date, and thoroughly enjoy designing webpages, web graphics and UIs for World of Warcraft for friends of mine (as well as myself). Any of those designs are available online to share? Recently, I took care of reinstalling an operating system on my sister-in-law's laptop for college. Rather then put Windows back on there, I loaded Linux for her, which got me working more on the Linux side of life, then Windows. Since then, I have been interested in designing things to be used inside a Linux distribution, as designing and tinkering are things I thoroughly enjoy!

Using photos rather than art
Hi, I'm a Red Hat developer, and completely new to this list, so forgive my ignorance. I like the blue themes that Fedora has traditionally chosen, but I was wondering if Fedora could have a photo for its main background screen. As an amateur photographer, I have several scenery photos I've taken that may be suitable, and I'm willing to donate. Some even have a nice blue theme. For example: http://www.robertpeterson.org/Ecuador2007/2007Jun01/img_8435.800.jpg (This is only 800x600, but the originals are much higher resolution) In theory, this photo or others could be used as is or even Fedorafied to add the symbols the Fedora community desires.
