Flavours Of Ubuntu

The Ubuntu Artwork team and mailing list serves as a get-together for people who create artwork with and/or for Ubuntu (including the derivatives). Besides great visual design, our interests include the use of Free Software and open processes to get there.

Development of the default wallpaper, GTK themes, and icon sets for Ubuntu are lead by the Canonical Design Team. Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu, Lubuntu and supported packages are open to contributions in these categories.

Concepts going beyond visual design into functionality are better handled by the Ayatana project.

What we do!

	Answer requests from the community
- Logos and other graphic design for related projects.
- Web design for related sites.
- Marketing material made to specification (poster, banners, fliers, brochures, stickers, shirts).
- Illustrations for presentations and guides.
	Create and make available artwork such as wallpapers, themes, icons, posters and brochures.
	Discuss and advocate art and design related Free Software and open processes.
	Participation in upstream open source projects.
	Develop and maintain documentation (here on the wiki)
	Provide resources (tutorials, art assets, advice) and encouragement for the use of the FOSS creative tools.

Why contribute?

	Create work that is valuable to others and answers real-world needs but avoid the hassles of commercial work. Add to your portfolio.
	Gain experience, hone your skills.
	Become recognized as contributing artist or designer.
	Do your part to move the Ubuntu project forward.
	Add beauty and sophistication to the world.
