Hi everyone! 👋
I plan to apply to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and could use some advice. I'm still a beginner in programming, but I have a background in visual arts, motion graphics, and VFX (mainly using tools like After Effects, Blender, etc.).

I’ve been learning Python, and I'm interested in combining my design/visual background with coding — maybe something involving graphics, creative tools, or open-source software related to visual media.

I'd love your suggestions on:

• Which GSoC organizations might be beginner-friendly and related to graphics/design?
• What kinds of projects would suit someone just starting out with coding but strong in visual creativity?
• Any tips for reaching out to mentors or writing a solid proposal?

Thanks so much in advance! Any insight would be super helpful 🙏
