I'm working on a medium-popular open-source software project, and think we need a look-and-feel overhaul (website template, logo, etc.). The software is phenomenal, but the visual design of the website and logo is a bit of a joke, and probably turns away potential users. I have no graphic design skills and suspect none of the other developers do either (though I will ask on the mailing list). Where can I recruit someone who might be able to contribute to an open-source project not as a programmer, but as a designer? (i.e. a volunteer, since we have little money.) post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.86294 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:02:24 -0800 lunchbox opensource graphicdesign software http://ask.metafilter.com/86294/Finding-a-graphic-designer-for-an-open-source-project#1274249 Idealist.org, Craiglist. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.86294-1274249 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:13:52 -0800 sweetkid http://ask.metafilter.com/86294/Finding-a-graphic-designer-for-an-open-source-project#1274262 Or Projects. Some of us who use open source for paid client work might be interested in giving back a bit, you know? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.86294-1274262 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:43:12 -0800 DarlingBri http://ask.metafilter.com/86294/Finding-a-graphic-designer-for-an-open-source-project#1274325 If you are willing to gamble, various school programs need projects for their students to work on. MeFi mail me if you are interested and I will punt it to the web design instructor for the coming semester. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.86294-1274325 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:52:28 -0800 jadepearl
