I also wanted to ask people to donate to FSF, so I sketched a hand giving a heart.So, I thought showing some mountaineers would resonate well. On the FSF's website, I read about taking free software to new frontiers, which made me think about the idea of "conquering a summit." Free software work is also filled with adventures, in my opinion, and sometimes a task may seem like scaling a summit.I scanned them using Skanlite although these sketches were very rough and would need proper layout and design, they were a good base for me to work from. I needed to finish the project in two days time, while simultaneously working on other projects. I am not that great of a copywriter, so I started reading the FSF website to get some copy material. Sketching some conceptsĪfter understanding Abhas' initial requirements, I sat down to visualize some concepts. This article is my effort to detail the process I typically use to create my artwork and to spread awareness that one can do professional work with the help of F/LOSS tools. Although many artists successfully use free software to create artwork, I repeatedly encounter comments in discussion forums claiming that free software is not made for creative work. I create my artwork with F/LOSS (free/libre open source software) tools. I designed two posters for RMS's talk in Bangalore. Stallman was visiting our country, and my friend Abhas Abhinav wanted to put up some posters and banners to promote his visit.
A few months ago, I was asked to design some posters for a local Free Software Foundation (FSF) event.
