I'm sorry but I strongly disagree (btw, I'm not the one that downvoted you; I don't have that option).
Why should I contribute to an open source project when I can do something like design a simple killer wordpress theme that may gain major adoption and use that as reference for my work than a single open source project catered to a single developers open source work that may or may not get used heavily. That or is only used in parts. There are tons of free designs out there, how often have you or anyone you know hiring designers reference how awesome or widely adopted their one off icon kit has been or something similar? Not happening.
- Sirupsen 16y agoDesigners should contribute to projects they care about and use, adding the project to their portfolio should not be the sole reason to join the project. If you care only about portfolio, then designing a killer wordpress theme might be the way to go.
- mnutt 16y agoBy designing a killer Wordpress theme, you are contributing to an open source project...
- sixtofour 16y agoAnd maybe this is the nail that should be hit on the head. WordPress is designed to easily accept design products like themes.
- lovskogen 16y agoContributing to an open source project, an application is far, far better for you to grow as a designer. But more challenging.
