Hi Niklas!
Welcome to the Artwork team. It's great to have someone around with
experience in graphics. Do you also have experience in print work?
I hope that you will succeed at getting a job as UI designer at DICE.
I too would like to be part of a game studio sometime, although right
now I'm just biding my time as graphic designer and web programmer.
Maybe you've ever heard of Scaleform? It's also a UI company which
does mostly work for game studios (programming and artwork). If only
my friend who works there could get me in...
Some useful links:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork - the wiki page for the artwork team.
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Team/GetInvolved - page with useful
information for getting started with Ubuntu artwork.
I also hope you'll frequent the IRC channel. Things are sometimes a
little quiet in there...
Have fun!
Michiel

Cheers all.
I don't mean to spam the list, but I'd like to present myself
quickly to you all since I joined this team just now. :)
I'm a fairly new, recently-converted, Ubuntu-user so my knowledge
of the linux world is, well, pretty basic. But, I've spent 5 years
as a professional IT consultant and technician (mainly Windows 2k-
XP and OS8-OSX) so I'm learning quickly.
More viable here is that I also have had a career in an advertising
agency as graphics artist and layouter, and have diplomas in
digital graphics. I have also been running my own business with a
friend since 1997, designing websites, intranets, doing filmwork etc.
Currently, I quit my job as an IT drone (cheer for me!) to pursue
more rewarding things, so I'm studying at Hyper Island School of
New Media at the moment, a 2 year education in project management
and with a focus on digital media. Right now I'm on one of the
internship periods, and the last three months I've been sitting in
a huge media consultancy firm (Carat / Aegis Media) and will work
there over the summer.
But I have a great urge to do more graphics works, or at least help
others with it, and seeing as I've just fallen in love with Ubuntu
I'd like to contribute in any way I can. I believe the Ubuntu
project is an important and vital step for the desktop OS-market.
And I *so* love making UI's, and my next internship will be at DICE
(you know, the guys behind the Battlefield games) where I'll pester
the UI designer a good deal. I guess it's my secret fetish. :)
And to end off with the basic ASL; 26yr old swedish dude with
beard, glasses and a crappy laptop.
Cheers all
