The Creative Penguin: The GNOME Art Duo Speak

Posted by timothy on from the undervalued dept.

uninet writes "After spending time with Torsten Rahn and Everaldo Coelho earlier this year, we continue our Creative Penguin series in a discussion with Tuomas "Tigert" Kuosmanen and Jakub "Jimmac" Steiner of Ximian. If you've ever admired the beautiful artwork of GNOME, these are the gentlemen responsible for it. How did they get involved? Why should you be interested in desktop artwork? They discuss all of this and more with Open for Business' Timothy R. Butler. Read the full interview here."

    I have started using Gnome/Redhat recently, and I am seriously impressed by the icons. I teach user interface design, emphasizing silouette and clean lines with regards to icons. And the icons on my Gnome desktop are gorgeous (I normally use Windows though I believe Macintosh 6.05 and thereabouts was the bees knees user interface wise).

    This good UI design seems to permeate more areas of the Gnome world. Yesterday I discovered the moleskine editor. It has the same graphical style and user interface simplicíty. Well worth a look. Gorgeous.
