I will help as much as I can mainly because I believe in the Ubuntu Desktop and OS. I'm new on the scene so be patient. I will work on some graphics as soon as possible. If I can help you Matthew let me know. Sid [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Today's Topics: 1. release day & website (Matthew Nuzum) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:46:09 -0500 From: "Matthew Nuzum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [ubuntu-art] release day & website To: ubuntu-art <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, I've added a new feature to the website for this release, a screenshot gallery: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/screenshots-710 I was wondering if we could make it a goal for the next release to finish the artwork stuff sooner so that it will be easier to create screenshots and advertisements that include the final pieces. Also, many of you know, I am not a graphic designer. I would love some help on the Ubuntu.com and related sites from graphic designers (and other people who do web stuff) who wanted to help. Right now, the art-work I create gets the job done but lacks the polish and subtle character of a true artist. Help could come in the form of screenshots and icons, but also it'd be nice to have more dynamic content. For example, a while back, Ken and I worked on a visual tour similar to http://demos.mootools.net/Fx.Scroll that served to highlight new features on the Ubuntu desktop (it didn't pan out (pun intended :-]) though because of time constraints). And I love this effect as an idea for the screenshot gallery: http://digitarald.de/playground/remooz.html Help is also needed to optimize and resize graphics. Balancing the right compression levels, choosing png or jpg and resizing are all tasks that benefit from a human eye. Finally, doing layouts in html takes more skill and time than most of the website editors posses. Some of you may know that working within the constraints of a webpage, especially a CMS, can be very challenging. Therefore the pages on the ubuntu.com website tend to look very bland. What ever your area of interest, Ubuntu would benefit from your help. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode ------------------------------ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art End of ubuntu-art Digest, Vol 28, Issue 12 ****************************************** -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
