Welcome to the Fedora Design mailing list. :) Awesome to hear about your experience and interest in GIMP and Inkscape. While I don't *think* their use is required, it is definitely strongly encouraged, and they are definitely pretty powerful tools! If you're looking for something to get yourself started with, I personally think Badges are a great place to start. It gives you some places to mess around with Inkscape, become more familiar with it, and actually get to see some of your art become Fedora official. :) There's some starter resources and style guides I would recommend downloading / reviewing before you pick a badge. All of Fedora's badges follow design guidelines so they all fit in with each other and follow a common theme. Check these out: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/DesignResources/FedoraBadgesResources.zip https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/DesignResources/styleguide_full.pdf Once you have a chance to dig through some of these, you can start hunting out a badge to find and try working on. The easiest way to look for badges pending artwork is by going here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/report {8} and {9} may have a few to pick out, but {26} may have a few buried in there too. Don't be afraid to pick up a ticket if there hasn't been any activity on it for a while either. This is probably a lot to throw at you all at once, but hopefully it helps. :) If you have any questions, please ask them!! We're happy to help in any way we can. Thanks for sending your introduction here on the list. :) -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7@xxxxxxxxx
