Hello! I assume that this is the mailing list!
I am a student of graphics in a Diploma of graphics design. I have a dual-booted Windows/Linux computer. I have Adobe software and OpenSource software for graphics. Having registered at the art site and looked at some art contributions, what do I do next? John |

You already did exactly the right thing: Having a look around and joining the mailing list :-) If you didn't find our wiki already, I'd like to show you the content at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art. Even if the wiki pages are not finished yet, there you might get an insight of what we are working on (or should be working on). Additionally you might have a look at this mailing list's archive (http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=art). If you read about the last three or four topics, you are quite up-to-date. In case of any questions / suggestions please don't hesitate to post here again. After that you will have an impression about what artwork is needed: In the moment we want to provide clipart for OpenOffice.org (OOo in short) that might improve the clipart gallery inside the program, but this task is just at the first steps. The artwork galleries (aditional and official) needs new or updated artwork, the wiki pages could become even more user-friendly and instructive for people requesting or providing artwork ... If you find any point you are interested in, just tell us and start working on it (either on your own or together with us). Thank you for joining our group - I hope you will feel like me: it's fun and helps improving OpenOffice.org!

Hi Bernhard
Such a quick reply for my weird timezone [Australia]! I have read the 2005 style guide for the projects. Then I looked at the art work already submitted such as business cards and splash screens. Then I went to the official site for Ooo artwork and downloaded some logos onto my Adobe Illustrator. It all looks good; the artwork is of a high standard. I'm not sure what I'll tackle yet. Business cards could make sense since I have already covered them in my graphics course. I usually use adobe Indesign or illustrator. I have photoshop but I don't use it much. But I like opensource tools as well like GIMP! Thanks for the help and I'll read through things and find a project to work on.

> Hi Bernhard > Such a quick reply for my weird timezone [Australia]! Fortunately I had the time to go online at work :-) >I have read the 2005 style guide for the projects. The style guide has been created for OOo2. With OOo3 there are some differencies (epecially in colors and graphical elements). Nobody took the time to update it, but the OOo3 artwork we created collaboratively during the last months used some of the elements from the new splash screen. > Then I looked at the art work already submitted such as business > cards and splash screens. There is (as far as I know) just one business card (by Jens Habermann) inside the additional artwork gallery showing OOo3 elements, the older ones at the former official gallery show elements from OOo2 or OOo1! A new splash screen will be necessary fo OOo4.0 - but this is still way ahead... > Then I went to the official site for Ooo artwork and downloaded some > logos onto my Adobe Illustrator. > > It all looks good; the artwork is of a high standard.

Just come back to the list when you have any question... Best regards Bernhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: art-unsubscribe@...
