It looks harsh, loud and crowded to me. I think you could greatly and easily improve it by making the whole speech bubble white (or with just a subtle yellow tint). Then you could get rid of the area around the head, which would give you more room to breath. You should switch everything but ubuntu and maybe jaunty to a font that doesn't look like a joke. MgOpen Moderna would be worth a try, but you have to pay attention to the kerning. You should tweak the position and size of the bubble and the jackalope such that the jackalope either doesn't touch the bubble at all, or has parts that clearly overlap it; the just touching the curve as it is right now looks accidental and hurst both shapes. Give the Jackalope colors that don't make it resemble a disabled gui element. Drop that skyline in the background, it only adds noise and clashes with the zick-zack. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- () Campania Panglicii în ASCII /\ http://stas.nerd.ro/ascii/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Very useful to someone new and in light of the lively discussion of late this may help. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/GoalsAndObjectives Our desire is to add value to the Ubuntu community by creating high quality artistic content and advocating the use of open source creative tools. Slightly changed from the Artwork wiki page: The Artwork Team aims to enrich Ubuntu by designing high quality, original and beautiful themes to be available as an alternative to the default look. == Top Goals == * Enjoyment: Having fun being creative and interacting in the community * Growth: Practise and improve your artistic skills (possibly also managerial and writing skills), gather experience * Support: Further the goals of Ubuntu * Idealism (or long-term pragmatism ;): Advocate and showcase the use of open-source tools in the design and artwork realm == Goals of Ubuntu == To offer a free (in both the economic and FSF sense), sustainable platform for commodity requirements with optional commercial support * To act according to the following ideals (from http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/philosophy): 1. Every computer user should have the freedom to download, run, copy, distribute, study, share, change and improve their software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees. 2. Every computer user should be able to use their software in the language of their choice. 3. Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if they work under a disability. * Have free software break into Microsoft's majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 * Improve the overall usability of free software within Ubuntu. Surpass Apple in the quality of the user experience.

You could tone the gradient a bit, but no strong feelings there.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Mandating usage of free tools.
Just thought I would throw in the fray that Photoshop can be run on Ubuntu using wine. Thus, I wouldn't equate photoshop to windows by any stretch of imagination :) However I do recognize that proprietary formats do not foster open collaboration. Personally, I use Inkscape for almost everything I do but I'm not much of a raster-man :P -Chris -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
