Hello hello
Greetings Fedora Art group, My name is Eve McGlynn and I am hoping to join the Fedora Art group. A little bit about myself: my formal background is in cartography, which focuses a lot more on design than some people realize (though others are suspicious of the technical aspects, so I guess I'm doomed to always justify myself to other folks!). Outside of school though, I've always had my fingers in some sort of creative medium. I currently work for Red Hat as an interaction designer, and am trying to join the Art group to better dig my heels into fedoraland as I will likely occasionally do projects in that realm for work. As far as software is concerned, I work in both the Adobe tools and Inkscape and GIMP. For most projects, I find myself using a pen and paper for most of the early stages, as it's easier for me to think with a pen than a mouse, but I'm nevertheless grateful I was born after the paste-board days of graphic design. I hope this introduction helps you folks. If there's any more you'd like to hear, please let me know! Thanks, eve ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Outside of school though, I've always I pretended to do myself some "cartography" when in fact what I did was gaming map graphics: http://clipart.nicubunu.ro/?gallery=rpg_map :D had my fingers in some sort of creative medium.

As far as software is concerned, I work in both the Adobe tools and Inkscape and GIMP. For most projects, While we strongly encourage (as opposed to impose) Free tools, is a must to use Free formats, it is a lesson we learned "the hard way" with Bluecurve, so for example the .ai format is a big NO, while an SVG produced by Illustrator is passable (we can clean it with Inkscape).

> > Have you any graphics to share? > I'm afraid I'm terrible about putting things online, but Here's a link to my most recent project at Red Hat: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MyFedora/Mockups I'm working on the Fedora Community interfaces with another member of the Art group, the very talented Máirín. If you go down to the people pages, you can see what I've been up to in the past week or so. And here's a link to my favorite project in college: http://map.wisc.edu/ Obviously this wasn't all me (I was part of a 4-man team), but I can take credit for the bus routes and text placement implementation (both along with my friend Jamon); all of the interface design; and some of the 3-D buildings (those were from the original paper map from the 1970s, but someone (me) had to draw in the buildings that had been built since the last update so that they matched the old ones. As I recall, the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, the Microbial Sciences Building, Kelner Hall, and 21 N. Park St. are mine, along with a few others). I hope you find these work samples to your liking. One of these days I'm going to get my act together and put something nice up on the web with all my work in one place, but in the mean time I hope these two links suffice. thanks, eve ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Here's a link to my most recent project at Red Hat: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MyFedora/Mockups Nice.
