Aleksandar,


I agree with what Tobias says.

I am using INKSCAPE and GIMP to draw Banner, banners, stickers, posters,
etc..

It is a simple software to use and practical.

Use INKSCAPE and GIMP!

so you used photoshop to create these?
man, that's not cool. graphics for free software should be created using
free software.
all your design is great, but great design done with non-free software is
never as good as the same design done with free software. many designers
(even in the FLOSS community) don't care about this, but it is really
important.
if free software design is done on a proprietary system using proprietary
software formats, how can people change it using free software on a free
OS?
if one doesn't think that using free software is a good thing, why should
he
support free software (such as libo)?

design source files are code too. the same principles applied to software
are appliable to design too, so if the source isn't published, the design
is
proprietary. if (as in your case) the design is released under a free
software license (LGPL among others) you *have to* publish the source code,
it's not optional.

i think a lot of us free software people should finally start thinking of
our design as something that has to be as free as our software.

aleksandar, i don't want to offend you in any way, but i had to say
this. free software is also about the tools we use to create it.
so please don't be scared and keep up the great work, but if you can find
the time (and haven't already done it), check out
inkscape<http://www.inkscape.org>(extremely powerful FLOSS vector
graphics editor) and consider using it for
future designs. vector is better for most kinds of design anyway ;)
