For the next release of Nomad, the guys at the Nmedit project asked me to come up with an icon and a new splash screen to show during startup.
PacketPeeper is an OpenSource, MacOS X packet sniffer application that I came across on SourceForge.net, and have recently started helping out with by providing some graphics.
The GNOME Subtitles project is another Open Source project that I found on Sourceforge.net, and I was given the chance to help out with icons and logos. GNOME Subtitles is a video subtitle editing and authoring program for GNU/Linux systems running the GNOME Desktop.
The Nmedit project aims to create an alternative editor for the Clavia Nord Modular synthesizer. I discovered the project through their Sourceforge project listing, where they had posted a notice for help with the module icons.
This project was a fantastic learning experience, as I had no previous experience working with such a small graphic that also needed to represent some relatively detailed functionality – each of the module icons is rendered at 16 × 16 pixels in the software. This was, I believe, the more challenging aspect of the project; trying to devise iconic representation for some fairly obscure or otherwise esoteric modules and functions. Granted, a number of the icons are inspired by the original icons represented in the original software from Clavia, but I also wanted to create a series of icons that were more unique to the Nomad software in order to give it a more personal touch.
When isnoop needed a new icon for a new killer app he was working on, he asked Lot23 if we could help out. So when the world famous MacSaber app was born, it sported a shiny new icon.
