Since people here hinted you: "take the iniative", you are always jumping at change if there is something related to graphics design.



Sure you do, if you jump at the every chance before anyone you surely will be able to make them look best. I know you work in your fancy company and can do photoshop stuff professionally. If someone manages to do something better than you, no problem, you can just use your farly superior photoshop skills to beat them.



Yeah, who doesn't?



What? So it's my attitude now? Also, are you suggesting that I don't know anything FOSS community?
The last part of my comment was uncalled for, although I did intend it to be a joke.

I did not say "I'll do it, I'll do it."

I didn't see anything wrong with offering help, or wanting to help.

I apologize to the OP if I stepped out of line, or came across rude.

I don't want to "beat" anyone, I just really want to contribute, and I want everything to look as good as possible, whether my work is selected or not.

I'm no master at photoshop either, my firm is small, and I actually don't do much design "professionally." I'm the "self appointed" Interactive Director/Partner and I only launched a couple of years ago. I was looking at this community as a place that I could work on design for free and receive criticism of my work. I also hoped to learn from other individuals design skills, and see what they are doing right and wrong.

My apologies again to the OP, and yourself if I hurt your feeling over this. Thanks for the alternative perspective, though I'm not sure if I feel it is correct.
