Hi good artwork people! I've just recently joined the list and have been very impressed with the work that you're producing, so I wondered if you'd be interested in trying for little job for the Ubuntu Website.
On the Doc Team mailing list, we have been discussing the layout of the Community Support page [http://www.ubuntu.com/support/free] and we want to reorganize the page to make the individual support options stand out more and look more 'clickable' [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2006-July/006802.html] I've done a wiki mockup of how the reorganized page in the wiki [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/SupportSection - scroll down to get to the Community Docs section], and I've ended up with a need for 4 buttons to lead to the individual Support Options. They are: *- Community Support Chat [Button]* (links to irc://irc.freenode.net/6667/ubuntu (or some such)) *- Web Forums [Button]* (links to www.ubuntuforums.org) *- Mailing lists [Button]* (links https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users) *- Launchpad Support Tracker [Button]* (links to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+tickets) The main qualities of the buttons should be: a) they should look clickable, that means using 3d effects and subtle shading to give the buttons depth (inspiration here: http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/3d_effects.cfm) b) they should all be the same size. c) they should match each other as a complete set but have clear differences to set them apart. Colours, icons or attributes of what it is linking to would be nice. d) they contain the text given above (Community Support Chat, Web Forums, Mailing Lists, Launchpad Support Tracker), though this is negotiable if it turns out to be too difficult to do in keeping with points b and c. e) they should match the current design of the website, specifically this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/free. e) It would be even cooler if you could make them fit with whatever glassy ideas that you're working with for Edgy. I'm sure that for instance Who's login splashes [http://mailforwho.googlepages.com/Lsplash_Who.jpg] could be adapted to fit (though at maybe quarter the size). I hope this catches your interest. The Community Support page is linked to directly from the System Help menu, so it will get a lot of attention. I'm sure that a lot of people will be clicking these. :-) Cheers, Andreas -- https://launchpad.net/people/lloydinho -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
