Re: [ubuntu-art] What would you like to work on?
I've also been lurking on the list for a while, only to contribute when I didn't have to be too technical. Meaning, do JUST the art and not have to package. I'm one of those that Martin talks about Part of the problem with art from a packaging side is that very few artists know how to package themes, wallpapers and other things, should we have an education project based around that I know that if I had adequate time, I'd be able to learn the mechanics of packaging. However, until that day, I'm seeking fun and EASY work... like t-shirt designs and simple marketing materials. What would you like to work on? Don't be shy, this is not binding. - Ubuntu Yes - Kubuntu - Xubuntu - Edubuntu - Lubuntu I haven't worked or seen any of these other distributions. - Distribution/flavor independent - Themes - Wallpapers - Icons All include packaging. - Posters, flyers, marketing material Yes. Very interested. - Requested artwork for *buntu-related projects Not sure what this is. - Sounds - Videos No.. - Planning - Implementation (draw a wallpaper, edit a gtkrc ...) - Packaging - Testing - Bug fixing - Write a better theme engine - Fix theming related issues in GTK+ No.. - Develop infrastructure to assist creative processes and/or making our work easily available This is a great idea! I'd be interested in helping brainstorm around this idea. However, not sure how else I can contribute. What are your related skills and experiences? Computer Based Training... would be nice to work on the future of CBT for Ubuntu. Also, see my website for more... www.deamillion.com Are there issues that have been hindering you, that we could address, perhaps? Am I scary? Haven't met you yet... maybe you are scary? ;) -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art Déa -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

You would just have to pay for the jersey and shipping. If you can group requests together to make my job easier, then that would be good.

Comments anyone? http://homepage.mac.com/deazigns/bike-jersey-3.png Circle around the CoF on Right Side is too similar to the background or vice versa. If I try to imagine how this will end up with a person in it, I doubt the logo-type on the arms will work well (kinda cylindrical surface, bend, wrinkled). I just wanted to mention that since these are bike jerseys, typically they are worn tight. Jerseys that wrinkle and flap in the wind cause drag, which isn't good. I think the Ubuntu text on the sleeves looks good and would work well in this case. I've seen lots of other jerseys that have text on the sleeves like that and they look nice. I made the logo smaller on the sleeves. Maybe this will help with the wrinkling, bend. This approach to the lynx could be great, strong, wild, fast, but you should try to make the cat more recognizable. I borrowed the image of the lynx from a t-shirt that Canonical gave away at the last UDS. I'd still like to find the original artist, so I can get permission to use it. Kenneth, would/could you help out on this? (Apologies if this is out of your realm.) Thinking of the composure of a racing cyclist, the back panel might actually be the better canvas. I think the back would be a good choice too. Most of the time cyclists are hunched over and you don't get a good look at the front. I think it is good to have something on the front, but having the lynx on the back would look good too. I put it on the front because I noticed the racing numbers go on the back. However, the following links show it on the back, above where the number would be placed. I made two versions, because for some reason, I don't like the white lynx on the back. Anyone have a preference? Thank you for working on this! I totally agree! Thank you very much Dea. This is going to be an awesome jersey! -- My pleasure.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Jersey
Thanks, Thorsten. Nice t-shirt, but you're right, it's not the one I'm referring to. The design I'm referring to is the one on the shirts they gave away at UDS in Dallas last November. Maybe I'll have to scan the shirt I have or try to reproduce it. It's got a lot of movement and shows speed, which is one of the themes I'm trying to emulate.

Here is a link to some designs that another cycling team in the Multiple Sclerosis ride received when they placed a bid on the crowdspring.com design site. http://www.crowdspring.com/project/1283223_cycling-jersey-logo-vin/ Check out the Ubuntu jerseys here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCyclists I've picked out a company to print our jerseys. They require that the design be in the SVG format. Here is a link to the templates that they recommend using when designing. Jersey template: http://champ-sys.com/media/SS%20Raglan%20Without%20Side%20Panel.pdf Shorts template: http://champ-sys.com/media/FullWrap%20U%20Panel%20MBI040.pdf They have some notes about the black areas of the templates. The black area can be one of seven pre-dyed colors. I recommend checking out the notes on the page. http://champ-sys.com/custom/cycling/formsandtemplates The Diabetes ride is in June and the Multiple Sclerosis ride is in September. The manufacturing process takes 6 to 8 weeks, so we have some time to design. I look forward to hearing from the group. This is an exciting opportunity for your artwork to be seen by thousands of participants in these events. Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu - 10.4 - Lynx wallpapers
Sounds like fun! I'll take a stab at it! I could even do a Flash animation.

All this happening on Pandora, with some non-communist heterosexual Smurfs watching in the background (one of them smoking a joint). I would actually really like to see someone make this wallpaper. :D -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art Déa Million d...@deamillion.com www.DeaMillion.com 612-644-1162 -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
