Open Design Guide
summary
Open Design Guide is a 100% open-source, 12-chapter guide that maps practical routes for designers into open-source work, from basic concepts to advanced collaboration and maintainer paths. Content comes from AI-first drafts and MidJourney illustrations, then iteratively refined via weekly reading-club edits, PRs and merged commits in the public repo. Chapters cover roles, tools beyond GitHub, research and visual work, collaboration patterns, and a checklist, but chapter 11 lacks real case studies and the project solicits concrete examples and issue-level contributions.
