Hey, list. I'm new, and chiming in for the first time here because, well, I felt challenged to. I'm not particularly technical--my background is in art--and I don't know the first thing about making a theme besides having tweaked my login screen a bit, but I do know a little about color theory and typography and design, and I'd like to help. Is this the right place for me? I note:

Is there another place a creative, non-technical person can be of help? Thanks! -- Christina -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
