Hello Esteban :)

Greetings, and welcome to the Fedora Design mailing list! We're happy to have you here with us. I very recently joined Fedora design team and have found the community nothing but helpful and amazing! 

I do not have much experience getting people started, but thought will drop a few links for you to check until someone more experienced helps you start contributing! 

There is interesting work going on in Fedora and Hubs as I have been trying to keep up. If you are interested, you can check out the mailing list specifically for Hubs too:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/hubs-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

Fedora has a very unique and interesting way to encourage contributions called Fedora Badges. They are like the virtual badges you can earn while contributing. You can learn a little more about them at this page:
https://badges.fedoraproject.org/about

It gives you a chance to mess around with Inkscape and actually get to see some of your art become Fedora official. There's some starter resources and style guides I would recommend downloading / reviewing before you pick a badge. All of Fedora's badges follow design guidelines so they all fit in with each other and follow a common theme. Check these out:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/DesignResources/FedoraBadgesResources.zip
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/DesignResources/styleguide_full.pdf

Once you have a chance to dig through some of these, you can start hunting out a badge to find and try working on. The easiest way to look for badges pending artwork is by going here:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/report
Justin will be the right person to get you started with this. I am hoping he will reply to this once he is free. 

That's all the links that I could think of now which I bookmarked initially. I am sure someone will help you out better if you stick around. You can also hang around on IRC channel. 

Thanks for sending your introduction here on the list! Again, welcome to the Design Team. :)

Just introducing myself. I have a PhD in fine art and love working with inkscape. Would love to contribute―something small to start out with!―what do you think would be a good place for me to start? I love 2d design! Thanks!
