Hi Ashlyn!
Ar 7/30/20 6:19 AM, scríobh Ashlyn Knox:
My name is Ashlyn Knox, I'm a fedora user of about 5 years now and I'm
currently taking next steps by reaching out to become an active member
of the fedora community. I am excited to learn more about the work
that the design team is doing and hopefully be able to work on design
projects as well. I've always been a fan of fedora's aesthetic and
design sensibilities.
Wow, this is fantastic to hear, glad to hear from another long-time user
interested in design!!
Over the past 3 years I have done a variety of freelance design jobs
including event advertisements, logo design, web design, document
layouts, and image editing. I work in inkscape, gimp, and scribus.
Fabulous! It sounds like you have some great experience to succeed on
our team!
Right now our major effort is getting two release wallpapers out at the
same time, for Fedora 33 and Fedora 34. We have our inspiration for each
set out:
Fedora 33:
Walter Lincoln Hawkins
An American chemist and engineer widely regarded as a pioneer of polymer
chemistry. For thirty-four years he worked at Bell Laboratories, where
he was instrumental in designing long-lasting plastic to sheath
telephone cables, enabling the introduction of telephone services to
thousands of Americans, especially those in rural communities.
Fedora 34:
Ub Iwerks
In 1933, former Walt Disney Studios animator/director Ub Iwerks invented
the first multiplane camera using movable layers of flat artwork in
front of a horizontal camera using parts from an old Chevrolet
automobile.[2] His multiplane camera was used in a number of the Iwerks
Studio's Willie Whopper and Comicolor cartoons of the mid-1930s.
You are most welcome to join either/both of those efforts. Right now,
with our inspiration set for each release, we're in the messy early
brainstorming stage to try to figure out effective visuals for each
design, so as many folks as possible contributing ideas, sketches,
concepts is ideal right now. Here are the tickets where that work is
just beginning:
Fedora 33: https://pagure.io/design/issue/687
Fedora 34: https://pagure.io/design/issue/688
We are also going to have an online live hackfest sessions for working
on these designs the weekend of Aug 7-8-9, most likely on the Saturday
or the Sunday. We don't have a time block scheduled yet. It's part of
the Fedora Flock Nest conference (flocktofedora.org.) When we get a
date/time I'll be mailing this list with the details and I hope to see
you there :)
Cheers,
~m
