Welcome Abhijith, Welcome Nsovo Jaremiah! You might already know or section of the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork
There's a design team of full-time professionals working at Canonical. The default theme and wallpaper, among other things is their work. I'm putting this first, as it seem a lot of people lose interest once they realize that the default presentation is pretty much off-limits for the community. One exception has been the Hardy Heron wallpaper, but it doesn't seem likely to happen again, as that was before most of the current team had been hired. Another exception is the Humanity icon set, as it got adopted by Ubuntu. Get in contact with vish on IRC, #ubuntu-artwork, if you think you can and would like to contribute there. Otherwise it's all about _additional_ artwork, mainly wallpapers and themes. If you want to get into theming, I guess the only working approach there is starting with an existing theme to tweak it, filling holes in documentation by trial & error. Other on this list could provide more insight, perhaps. There's the Flickr wallpaper group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntu-artwork http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/ collects and offers material like posters and brochures. Ubuntu-artists group on Deviantart: http://ubuntu-artists.deviantart.com/ Since the Flickr pool is mainly being filled with photos, there are plans to collect illustrative wallpapers here in future. Don't hesitate to ask questions referring to any of these or about processes, tools and technique or whatever else may come to your mind. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
