I've been designing graphics for little over a decade and am pretty confident in a wide field of design in general (aside from sophisticated 3d modeling and digital painting). I decided in the course I'll be using free open source software to promote the use of applications I first started off using like GIMP, Inkscape, etc:

I'm not a digital painter and am looking for a digital painter who may be interested in contributing to the course. Statistically, people are visual and experience learners thus my question to you is what would you like to learn how to design. More so photo manipulations, text art, what?

Thank you so much Mike. I really think that you could start with very basic notions. I mean what you considere it's important to know as base.
But it is only an idea. Thank you so much for your offering.

Hmm... Thinking generally, what most people seem to learn are simple things like webpage graphics and text effects. Speaking personally, I don't think I could ever learn enough photo manipulation tricks.

A very kind offer!
There are a number of people who give freely of their time and considerable expertise to help the members of Gimp Chat. I am sure they would welcome an addition to their number.

Need more info to clean up photographs, such as light leaks, or unsightly things that ruin a nice photo. I thank you in advance for helping us to learn new things.

You guys realize whats going on here, right $

I haven't seen any of your work Mike. How can we be confident in you? Do you have a link to any of your design work and modelling so that we can get an idea of what you are capable of?
