[ubuntu-art] Intro
Hi, My name is Jarred Williams. I am a college student studying software engineering wanting to eventually work my way into GUI design. Ive been a fan of linux and Ubuntu for a couple of years now (although I've only had a computer for a year and a half). If there is anything i can do to help by making graphics or maybe even drawing up interface designs I would be more than happy to do so. I also have some suggestions that could make things a little more coherent and intuitive if anyone would like to listen. Thanks, Jarred -- View this message in context: http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Intro-tp4997552.html Sent from the ubuntu-art mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hey man, Some resources you might find useful: http://design.ubuntu.com/web https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/UIStyleGuide I couldn't find anything on Interface guidelines, which was a shame.

Hey guys, I'm a professional freelance photographer and an IT security student who is interested in helping out with Ubuntu photographs they might be interested in using on current and upcoming OS background/wallpaper etc. Please feel free to email me any info regarding how I can become more active within the Ubuntu community. :) On Oct 19, 2012, at 4:03 PM, Daniel Pullan wrote: Hey man, Some resources you might find useful: http://design.ubuntu.com/web https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/UIStyleGuide I couldn't find anything on Interface guidelines, which was a shame.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Intro
Hey man, Here's some info perfect for you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds Before each new release, there is often a competition where you can submit pictures which could make it into the default background pictures, watch sites such as omgubuntu as they often promote the competition. Enjoy!

Re: [ubuntu-art] new Ubuntu member freelance professional photographer
Hey Daniel, Thanks for the advice :) Much appreciated. I have many more that I can choose from adhering to more of the guidelines On Oct 19, 2012, at 5:25 PM, Daniel Pullan wrote: Hey man, I tried using this as a background and found it didn't quite fit my screensize. Also, it's quite a busy picture, very attention grabbing, I'm sure some people will agree it might not be suited to being a background picture. In the ubuntu design guidelines there is: Avoid high frequency images. ( A soft focus is one way to achieve this ) As the name suggests, visually, it should settle into the “background” of the activity scene Your image should strive for subtlety and poetry. I don't feel this image adheres to that. Also, The final dimension should be 2560 x 1600 pixels. This image is 3648x2736, as you can see the dimension is wrong, I'm sure this is nothing a well done crop would fix (Gimp works for this). Overall, I don't think this picture works, however it's a great first attempt and I'm sure you can either attempt to fix this image or try using a different photo you've taken. Away from the background side of things, it's a cool picture, I love the blues of the water, very nice.
