| Name | Experience and Training | OLPC Interests | Other Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nikki | Basic Photoshop, digital painting, and vectorization. Very little formal training; mostly self-taught. | Graphic design, interface design, game art, organization. | I don't know a lot (comparatively speaking) but I have decent intuition and like to learn new things. |
| Mel | Digital photography, digital painting, photoshop, vector graphics | Engineer. Art specialty is "how-to" diagrams (illustrative wordless comic strips in place of directions) | Working mostly full-time on OLPC content, but willing to chip in art once in a while |
| Marisa | Basic functions on archaic versions of Photoshop, some digital painting. Self-taught public artist. | Any fundamentally artistic challenges/hurdles. | I don't know if I could take on learning new graphics programs, but I'd be happy to provide art for whatever. |
| Eduardo | Pixel and vector graphics,(icons, logos & ilustrations). Flash + html + video creation and editing. Trying to finish computer multimedia design course. | Still unsure. I'm open to new ideas which touch my experience. | |
| Joe | Digital painting/illustration, 3D modeling/rendering/animation | Game art, icons, small well-defined projects | |
| Meredith | I aim to aid in the development of icons and graphics that the user not only likes, but icons that inspire their usage of the software/the Laptop as a whole. I want to make sure that the importance of a good icon/symbol/graphic is recognized. The software is beautiful, so it should have a beautiful, smaller representation. I aim to take the Clip Art out, or maybe its taking Clip Art to a new level. | I can edit video (program of choice is Final Cut Pro HD)as well as shoot video, sound (which I dump into Pro Tools), and I have tackled pretty much every Graphics editor out there, including NOW, the CS3 bundle-except of course Dreamweaver, b/c I do not use that. | All of this starts with the process of Abstraction. Anywho, I can do it, just ask, (but I am already working on some graphics for an unknown soldier). And I am pleased to be working in such company as you geniuses. |
| laura_glow | Digital photography, photoshop, pixel art, (hobbies) and programmer (my job). | help children create their own art and communicate with the world, using a beautiful and intelligent GUI. | I work full time as a programmer, and I love art and visuals. |
| gryphus | Illustration, vector, pixel, photography, educational display, educational illustration. I've taught art at college level, worked on multiple education projects. | I'm semi-tech savvy, i.e., can limit work to a prescribed palette, work within specific constraints. | |
| Isforinsects | Industrial Layout and graphic design. Photoshop, InDesign, GIMP, Etc. Photography. Audio editing (basic). Stop-motion. Pre-press CMYK | I'm here to help.
