I'm a huge fan of Linux and open-source projects. Unfortunately, such projects always were incredibly unappealing for a wider non-tech audience, which felt really frustrating to me. Even during the privacy crisis and whole Snowden scandal the number of open-source supporters and Linux users has barely risen, while corporations kept collecting as much user data as they could through their operating systems.

Lately as a design studio co-founder I wanted to make a difference in this regard and try to make Linux more appealing. The first thing that I encountered was just direct decline that said "our Linux distro is perfect the way it is, we don't need any design help". Now I'm at my second attempt at creating absolutely free and open branding for Linux Mint project.
