Description: WordCamps and other events come with a lot of design work. There’s a city graphic for WC Central, a brand for the event itself that gets applied to the site, the shirt, the stickers, the badges, the signs, and everything else. Normally there are enough designers in a town that local designers can contribute, but in smaller communities sometimes that’s not possible. Help out these WordCamps and events by donating your talent and production skills to get them a great look and awesome swag.
Length of Project: Ongoing. Would like someone (or a small team) to take point on this to match up volunteer designers with WCs and other events who need design help, and then designers can pop in and help as needed.
Experience Required: Excellent graphic/web design skills. Access to appropriate software (photoshop/illustrator/gimp/inkscape/etc). Willingness to have a design point of view, but not put your own aesthetic above the needs of the local organizers you’re helping. In Project Runway terms, it doesn’t matter how good it looks if your client hates to wear it! 🙂
