[Design-team] Introduction

2015-05-18 Thread Christopher Wambugu
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.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the team! Have you read -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Design_Team

Would be a good idea to introduce yourself on IRC (#fedora-design on
irc.freenode.net). We have a meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) at 12:00 to 13:00
US/Eastern, if you can make it.

[Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?

2015-05-18 Thread Samuel Marques
You can be a professional graphic designer using the open source tools?
without using Adobe products?
because in college only teach it, just gave an idea of what is the free
design, but the focus is more on Adobe software such as Photoshop,
Illustrator and InDesign.

I particularly tried to learn to use the gimp, scribus and inkscape and the
only one that pleased me doi the sribus to replace InDesign.

So I wonder if you can get success, being free, since in my opinion the
tools lose some of the other software.
