[ubuntu-art] Just joined

2011-11-03 Thread calcmandan

Just joined. Been an exclusive kubuntu user on the desktop/laptop since
Dapper. A huge fan of canonical and the efforts they've put into spreading
linux. Anyway, my platform preference for tablet/phone has been webos. I'm
sure the platform will be slaughtered due to mismanagement and I've been
lementing how I have no real option otherwise. I hate iOS and not a big fan
of android (to say nothing of blackberry). When Mark announced that ubuntu
was going to move into the tablet/phone/tv market, I got superexcited
because its a natural move. Also, it would tie together my other digital
uses. I'd love to have ubuntu on my touchpad.

I'd like to assist with the art side of things. I've done a bit of coding in
the past, but I'm more fluid with graphics than anything. The last few days,
I've been reading up on canonical standards and such but there's still
plenty for me to read.

My graphics experience is pretty limited to inkscape. It was the app I used
to design a coat of arms for a guild I joined in a MMO. I needed to learn
how to use inkscape, so the project made sense as a learning tool. I'm self
taught.

I desire to give back to the community (after so many years of being a user)
and would be honored to contribute.

A link to the coat of arms:

Please keep in mind that it was my first creative work.

Daniel

Yes, you should have a look at the design website which contains quite a
few documents and resources for the standards and logos:

http://design.canonical.com/

And a good place to upload your work:
