Re: [Design-team] F23 Wallpaper.
Hi team, Haven't been able to input much. Was robbed at gunpoint at my place a few weeks ago and among the things they stole was the new laptop I was running Fedora 22 on, the only distro I had. Had some ideas I hadn't backed up but I'm trying to recreate. Awesome work on the current version Samuel. Quick question though, Is there anyone working on the artwork for the installation media? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
Re: [Design-team] F23 Wallpaper.
It looks great but it I think it would look even more awesome if the shading applied in certain areas was removed. just to make the shapes look more complete because it's bleeding out the edges off most of them. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Re: [Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?
You might be right. I'll give Sketch a try to see how it works. I bet it must be good. All in all, it depends on how you do your interface design. For example, if you can draw a gradient background in code, wouldn't that be better than using an image that would have to be resized in certain instances? Isn't it easier and more efficient if the screen orientation might have to be changed? Wouldn't it make it possible to compile a smaller sized executable? I try my best to only use images where code wouldn't suffice(icons and shapes). Then again it might be my previous years working with CLDC devices. I think you get better ratings when you strike the right balance between design and performance. Let me get Sketch. On 19 May 2015 15:51, Satyajit Sahoo wrote: > > Have you used Sketch?

Re: [Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?
I disagree with you to some extent. I'd say mostly. Right now I'm doing the JavaME service access point (fancy name for app) for a County B.I. system for one of the counties here in Kenya. The UI is basically built by code, so the images and icons are more important in this case. Inkscape and Corel helped me get done with the design in a little over 3 days into the development period. They'll launch in two weeks. Inkscape gets things done faster. Lesser adjustments to make and all. On 19 May 2015 13:35, Satyajit Sahoo wrote: > > I use Sketch.

Re: [Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?
I can proficiently do design using the following tools: CorelDraw (I have a licensed X6) Corel Photo Paint Adobe Illustrator Photoshop Inkscape Inkscape does a great job and is comparable to CorelDraw. I prefer the two actually.

[Design-team] Introduction
Hello, I'm Chris (full name Christopher Mwai Wambugu) from Kenya. I'm a 23 year old software developer and a graphic designer, a combination that has seen me take on the role of a UX/UI designer at most of the projects I've been a part of. I'm also currently a continuing University student at Kenya Methodist University pursuing a Bsc. Computer Information Systems degree. I have 5 years of experience as a programmer and 4 as a UI/UX designer. I would like to be a member of the Fedora Project's design team, a place I believe I can make a valuable contribution to the open source project. I would appreciate any opportunity, however small or big, that I would be given to make a contribution. This is my first attempt at a project of such scale. I would appreciate all the advice I can get. Kind regards. ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
