The Fedora Design Team uses free and open source software to lower the barrier of entry and ensure our work can be edited by anyone. See Tools We Use for more on the software we use and why.

You are welcome to use whatever tools you are comfortable with, but final deliverable source files must be provided in open formats (primarily SVG) that can be opened and edited in open source software like Inkscape. If you use proprietary tools, be mindful when exporting — embedded assets, certain effects, or non-standard features may not translate properly. If you encounter issues, you will need to work with us to find a solution, but we cannot take responsibility for troubleshooting problems that arise from using proprietary software.

Some tasks are straightforward enough that you can learn as you go, and the community is supportive of beginners.
