Hey all, The Inkscape team and community is proud to announce the About Screen contest for the upcoming release of Inkscape (0.46). The contest begins on December 22, 2007 and the deadline is January 6th, 2008. As with the past few contests we've had, it is being done on DeviantART ( http://www.deviantart.com/ ). You can find out more about it at: http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/16001755/ Additionally, if you have a DeviantART account, please show the news some "love" so we can hopefully get the story promoted to the front page. http://news.deviantart.com/article/39226/ Good Luck! Have fun! Draw Freely. -Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

I prefer this one: http://needcoffee.deviantart.com/art/Inkscape-0-46-About-Screen-73478652 but the perspective could be made less "dramatic" so that 0.46 is more easily read. Quite some time ago, I started some drawings with the ambition to turn them into submissions for about screen contest. I turns out I won't have time to finish those. If someone is interested in starting from them, or is lacking inspiration, or just finds them nice enough to work on them, please use them: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/Inkscape-about.zip The "reflexion" one could use some 3D work for example, the logo should probably be bended into an horizontal perspective, the engraving one needs to be finished etc etc. Anyway, everything is included in the zip (bitmap, font) and you don't even have to credit me.

Are we voting already? If so my vote goes to: > http://needcoffee.deviantart.com/art/Inkscape-0-46-About-Screen-73478652
