Christina is looking to get into graphic design, but doesn’t have much experience in it. Does anyone know/recommend an open-source project (or other similarly noble effort) in need of graphic design?
I posted a thread on reddit asking the same question, so if you have any suggestions, I’d prefer you post there (but here is also OK if you’re Web 2.0 phobic).
Of course, the obvious elephant in the room is “why not Ubuntu artwork/marketing”? She’d like to, but from our impression it’s mostly “post something complete and maybe we’ll use it”. If she can do graphic design for Ubuntu, while getting direction and feedback, she’d be more than happy to.

Hey Joe, how it goes? I’m going to try and reach Christina, but would you also let her know that we at the Foresight Linux community would very much welcome her and her skills?
Take care,
Og

Pick any single open source game and they are sure to love a designer. One exception might be wesnoth, they’ve built up quite a community of designers.

Well, I recently used gcompris with my kid.
The activities are interesting, but it realy needs help with design…. and as it’s design for child, it is a challenge !

I haven’t spoken to anyone at DotProject, but in my opinion the website needs a redesign.

Tell her to subscribe to the ubuntu-art mailing list.
They’re a friendly community of artists who enjoy designing stuff with Ubuntu in mind. They’ll certainly help provide feedback and guidance on how to improve:

I’m part of a local free software community group in Manchester, UK and we’d love to have the help of a graphic designer. As you can see from our website (manchester.fsuk.org) we don’t have any design skills ourselves..
We have a great idea for a logo and would love someone to create it for us. Please ask Christina to get in touch if she’s interested.
