[linux-audio-user] i'm a graphic designer - use me! ;-)

[iriXx]

actually i've worked with those sorts of apps, like Reason, in windows 
*cough splutter*... and i find them really annoying to work with... 
knobs dont actually translate very well into mouse usage!!! you end up 
struggling to control the thing... although generally it runs on the y 
axis up and down.... which is kinda counter-intuitive to using a knob in 
3 dimensions!

there seems to be a fashion for this sort of stuff now... i dont find it 
very helpful as i'm from the bizarre generation that has done all their 
work inside of a computer... earlier on in my studies i did do the 
basics of analog synthesis with oscillators etc, but i find myself lost 
when i go into a studio full of hardware - this is also mainly because 
im dyspraxic - so i dont find connecting a load of wires to each other a 
very helpful way of setting up... using a few commands is much easier 
for me!

i am a graphic designer by trade though and would be very happy to offer 
my 'services' to anyone who is interested in gui design - not being a 
programmer i've been frustrated at my inability to contribute back to 
the free software community. but i also notice so often that windows and 
mac in particular have the edge with the nice gui apps at the moment... 
its sad to say but all these nice guis are what are attracting people to 
those platforms... and it *does* make them a lot easier to use. i figure 
this is because most of the gnu/linux community are programmers first 
and foremost... so we've got lots of great apps... but i find the look 
and feel of the bare toolkits frustrating at times...

so please... if you want a nice graphic design, i'd be more than happy 
to help!  :-)
