Hi Sam,I notice that there's money allocated for 'design' and 'illustration' costs.Do we not have designers and illustrators who are both competent and willing to work for free, or have I misunderstood these figures?
Good question. Basically the answer is "no", judging by recent experience. We have a few good volunteer designers, but over the last years its typically not been possible to get designs done in a timely manner.
It's difficult getting high quality work for a specific project in a reasonable time. That's why I budgeted in design money, so we can pay someone who works professionally and reasonably request tweaks and improvements after the initial drafts.
I also have done design work in the past and people have generally been happy with the results, but I don't have much time left after the other FSFE work I do.
Best,
Sam.
