Suggestions for GSoC as a Programming Beginner (Visual/Graphics Background)
Posted by Jealous_Sky6591@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 1 comments
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 🙏

Blender Foundation's perfect for you. They often need UI/UX devs for their creative tools.
