Hey Carl!

Welcome to the artteam list! A lot of us also hang out in #fedora-art on
irc.freenode.net, so feel free to drop in for a chat... :)

If you haven't already seen it, the following link outlines the steps
required for joining the art-team:

(we have recently migrated to the mediawiki platform, so the layout of the
wiki may still be a bit rough around the edges...)

Not sure if you know about the open source equivalents in the graphic design
world, but in short:

Vector Graphics - Inkscape
Raster / Photo Manipulation - GIMP
Page Layout / Desktop Publishing - Scribus

I personally am a huge inkscape fan, and you will find it is also a popular
tool for a lot of the members of the fedora artTeam...

cheers,
