[ubuntu-art] Some guidelines for consideration

[Who]

You're not wrong about the card icons, they are great - but if you chbose to
use the computer, folder and drive icons instead I think it'd have looked
ver different :)

I think it highlights that Human doesn't seem to have a coinsistent desugn
on that sort of thing - I've never designed an icon set, so I can really
only observe and record my reaction, but it does seem to feel 'mishmashy' :P

I am 'producing' for some time today, but if I get time I might pick out
some good examples of this...
