We're looking forward to working with you! Welcome here on the list!

Not everybody here has the possibility to work with Photoshop, so we try 
to rely mainly on tools like Inkscape and GIMP.

As we want to work collaboratively and exchange our source files for 
iterational improvements, SVG is our most preferred file format
and we upload our source files to the wiki. Using it's versioning 
facility we can stay up-to-date with the development by others while 
keeping the same URL.

I don't know if you already thought of licensing your work.
We're part of an open source community and therefore we recommend to 
provide our graphical contributions under a open source license too.

To ease your work you don't need to describe the license you want and 
provide a link to it when you upload any file to the wiki. At the bottom 
of the upload page you can choose among different license templates to 
be added to your contribution.

For artwork and design drafts that might become a basis for inclusion in 
the LibreOffice source code (like the icons we're working on at the 
moment) we recommend to use the triple license CC by-sa, LGPL 3+ and MPL 
1.1.

Other artwork can be licensed under CC by-sa only (or any other license 
you choose), but my personal position is, that this triple license seems 
to cover all probable use-cases of my work, so I use it for any of my 
contributions.

Just be aware that you can't change the license of any artwork you're 
going to improve or work on.

Sorry, if this sounds confusing, but I thought, it would be reasonable 
to tell you in advance...

I'm sure we can have a lot of fun and work together on all the upcoming 
tasks in UX/UI, visual design and branding - don't by shy to comment / 
criticize any mockups presented here: We strongly believe that 
collaborative work will lead to even better results than individual 
contribution.

Welcome again!

Best regards

Bernhard
