 Hi all,

 the website project discusses a way to present OpenOffice.org extensions
 more prominently on the website.

 One of the four main topics among these extensions are cliparts that can be
 integrated in the program's gallery that is quite poor in comparison to the
 cliparts in MS Office.

 What do you think about creating new clipart galleries?

 They can presented for download on the wiki, and if we consider them to be
 good enough to become official, they should be moved to an official artwork
 gallery and might be integrated in the core program in a second step.

 IMHO this might be an excellent opportunity for us to take a quite
 important task for the program as well as to improve the Art Project's
 position in the OOo community.

 Do you think we could manage such a task?

 It would consist of several steps:

 - creation of the artwork
 - integrating it in a new clipart gallery in OOo
 - creating an extension for easy integration by the user

 Clipart under Public Domain is available at the OpenClipart.org project at
 http://www.openclipart.org.
 Step two is a bit tricky as OOo doesn't import all complex vector files
 without any problem, but I managed it for quite a number of files from the
 clipart contest in 2006, so I'm confident that I remember how it worked.
 For step three I'm going to provide a short how-to in the wiki.

 There are a few extensions available already at the extension website and
 at the PrOOo-Box the de-project provides:

 http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/GalleryDangerSigns
 http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/freie-schaltzeichen
 http://live.prooo-box.org/de/html/gallery.html (sorry, German text)

 http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/oxygenoffice-gallery(non-free)

 Does anybody know about other clipart extensions?

 What are your thoughts in general?

Re: [art] Finished VOTE for Official Artwork - CD labels

2009-04-22 Thread Austin Martin
Hey, Bernhard, all

I saw a problem with the CD art, but instead of hijacking the voting thread,
I felt it was better to do it later. Therefore, I will do it here since you
are asking if everything is ok. The problem is with the reflection
gradients, is that some are blue, but others are the dot color. For example,
the yellow (draw) dot reflection is yellow, but the purple-reddish (base)
dot reflection is blue.

The three ways of fixing this would be:
- using the colors of the non-reflected part, or dot like the draw dot.
- using blue like in the base dot.
- or combining blue and the dot colors.

I have a version of the using the colors of the non-reflected part
solution, however I haven't uploaded it to the wiki.


Sorry for waiting after you uploaded them to the website and the hassle if
you have to redo it.

Re: [art] OOo2 colors used in the splash screen for OOo3

2009-04-13 Thread Austin Martin
Hey everyone,

I actually like Jens idea very well too, later I might make a proposal as
well as long as everyone is doing it.
One problem with your design is I must say is that the Writer and OOo Main
App aren't very well represented being so far off on the left, out of
sight..

However As far as this:

The coloured dots to represent Mime types doesn't make sense to me. I know
 it's an abstract way of representing something intangible, but there are no
 circles anywhere else in OOo materials. If they were vertical rectangles you
 could say they are representative of paper files, one from each program
 (I'm not saying changing them to rectangles is the solution). - Nikash


It doesn't truly make sense to me either, and to be honest I liked Ivan M's
proposal better..
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery/OOo3_Splash_Screen#Ivan
.

I tried to find out the right color for the main application icon - I
 extracted #4789CA for the brighter part on the right side. In version OOo2
 the main icon had just one color - now it's different: the left side is
 darker (and nearer to the previous main icon), the same color in all
 mimetype icons. I used this color #1F405E for the first colored point.

 I asked Stella Schulze for the right RGB values (and sent a copy of this
 mail to this list), so I hope we can use the official values soon. -
 Bernhard


Sounds good.

This proposal looks good, but I don't think that we should modify the Splash
 Screen design as it has been the result of a contest voted for by the entire
 OpenOffice.org community.

 Even if we like another design better, we should respect the community's
 decision. - Bernhard


Yea, this is a difficult issue, because the whole community has made the
decision (or atleast that's what you said because I wasn't there at the
time). What I think we should do is get the updated colors in while we can
for 3.1. Then, though a far way away (Sept. 09), we could focus on getting a
better splash screen in OOo 3.2.

The Splash Screen a decision by the entire OpenOffice.org community and a
 result of a contest. I feel bound to this decision - perhaps for
 OpenOffice.org 4 we should think about providing such a contest at all. -
 Bernhard


If you meant that to say not providing such a contest at all.  The main
problem with entire community based decisions, is that though they have the
best in mind, they might not know much about visual design, or a consistent
interface. Which may tend to make them not make the best decision. Possibly
we could have a community vote, and a designers vote, and then work from
there..

Hey Bernhard, all

Towards the new DVD envelope cover with text (
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:OOo3_DVD_envelope_covertext.png
):
- Personally I think that the text should be justified, so that it is more
blocky.
- In the description, we might want to include the Math app too. Standard
(in left block) has a dash in it, stan-dard. Speech (in right block) is
spelled speach.  Install (right block), is spelled in-stall.
- Also I think the OOo logo with the side sliver should be in the center.
- The margins probably need to be lined up they kind of slope \ way and /
way.

Overall really nice though, and I think all of this text still applies to
OOo3, so we don't *need *to change it.

Re: [art] Artwork Developer Sandbox SVG:

2009-03-30 Thread Austin Martin
Hey Bernhard,

 If I compare the RGB values with
 http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_galaxy_mimetype.html
 I see different values.

  I don't know if Stella used the Galaxy colors for the final version of
 OOo3.
 Where did you get the values from?

The problem here is that I used the color picker to get the color of the
image line, unfortunately the color of that line is not the same as what it
says, and from that I looked them up using Inkscape.. or that Inkscape
interprets the color differently, which might be a more logical answer. (by
the way nice find..as I might of never noticed .)

I'll be changing the colors to match the RBG codes (For all of the color
boxes), one problem is that I don't know the Official colors of the
OpenOffice.org logo, and therefore can't add those (although I'm pretty sure
the Open part is pure black..)

 Seems as if Chart hasn't reached the status of an application: together
 with the Macro module it is listed here, but only as document icons:
 http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo30MimeType.html

Yea.. do you think I should include these colors but say that they aren't
official?

In total I think we just need to ask Stella, so that we know these are the
right colors, get the other colors, don't get anyone confused, and or worse
make them creating artwork using incorrect colors, and such. (Are you going
to contact Stella or should I?)

 I don't know about it's license - probably it's proprietary.
 I'd prefer an open license for the sandbox file (LGPL?), so this might be
 included as link. If you know better about the license, please tell me. -
 Bernhard


It is under fair use so do you think we should include it? and if so do
you think we should put a small message saying: This object can only be
used in fair use or something like that.

Let me clarify if what I think you are saying, you are.  You think the
additional artwork page should be moved into the gallery page, and that it
would be the same just in a single place?

*If so:*
I agree, the only reason I made the directory like that is because someone
made it and that wiki page before me, to be honest.

Also the main reasons I use the Art/Website/** pages is because
1.) They are already there.. and so they might as well be used or deleted..
(which might be a pain for a sysops)
2.) They are a way that I can design how I think this should go.



*Also* I would like to ask everyone the mailing list about this idea:
I think the main page should have buttons (with images) on the front upper
part, where it lists the other main places in the wiki.  The buttons would
have an image related (such as Art - Paintbrush  Paper or Security a Lock)
and then a little below say the actual title. Overall I think this would
just improve the look of the wiki front page. (Maybe making it more
appealing to click one of those links too, or get involved with the wiki.)

Thanks for the responses, it seems like this is a good thing to do (the
Report), so I'll continue the thing.

2009-03-22 Thread Austin Martin
Hey Everyone, thanks for the comments..

 @ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Open_Tasks
 - Might make a table so that people can list tasks that need artwork..

 This page might be duplicating the
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/ToDo page.. or it might not.
The ToDo page is badly outdated (another case of copying and pasting a page
from 2006 to have some filler content) and could do with an update. In fact,
it could become the open tasks page. Or itcould become a wishlist, while
open tasks becomes the official what we're officially working on right now
page. In any case, the distinction should be made clear, otherwise we're
just adding pages to the wiki and making the whole thing harder to maintain
and browse. - Ivan M

What I was thinking of doing with all of these Website/** pages is to make
the updates on them, make them current, and then if everyone agrees cut out
the older (apparently 2006 filler), and replace it with the Website/**
pages.  This (in my mind) will be fine because I'll be including the old
information that still is going on or current (mailing list of course..) and
getting rid of the rest. Also on the Open Tasks page, I'll be putting
Ongoing tasks, Official tasks, Etc.

 *Reporting All the Changes I Have Made:*

 @ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/IssueZilla_Artwork
 - Changed Offline materials to Physical Materials, and Online Materials
to
 Computer Related Materials
 - Made the title higher so it looked better with the project list on the
 right..
 - Added descriptions to the material types. Added link to About
Issuezilla

 That page dates back to 2006 (IIRC), I just copied and pasted its
contents over to the new wiki page. If anyone has the time to hunt
around IZ and update this page, that'd be great, but I suspect most of
the material would only be relevant for archival/historic purposes so
it's not a high priority task. The wiki will provide a much more
accessible and maintainable framework for future OOo artwork. - Ivan M

Well see what I'm doing with the Website/** pages is I'm going to certain IZ
pages and linking them to the pages on the wiki, so that later I (or anyone
else) can add the artwork onto the Wiki, without as much hassle..

 Perhaps we could split the gallery page into two columns based on this
distinction rather than having two separate gallery pages... the
intention is to reduce the duplication of content, and to make
browsing easier. In this case, that might be reducing the number of
pages, or the number of clicks it takes to get to a certain page from
the wiki. Right now, the Gallery page is easily accessible, while the
Additional Artwork Gallery is hidden away and potentially
marginalized. Thoughts?

As it says up there these pages would be moved more into the 'front' but I
wouldn't mind spilting the gallery into two parts I'm not sure how that
would save many pages though since we are still linking from the Gallery to
the The Additional Wallpapers, Stickers, Logos, etc.

 However, I had also hoped that we could also create a kind of
beginners toolbox - a compressed file that new members can download,
which contains common graphical elements to get them started - a
vector copy of the OOo logo, color pallets, etc in short, a bunch
of graphic files that they can use to quickly get started on creating
OOo artwork. Maybe, maybe not. It's just an idea at this stage.

If you don't mind I think I will make a rough draft of this page, I know I
need to make a SVG page with the work bench material but should I also
make a PNG version?

(By the way, great idea.)

 @ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/official_galleries.html - Spelling

Thanks,

Hey

Ok, sounds good, I think I'll start complying and uploading the artwork
scattered around.

Thanks for taking most of my questions and comments, Bernhard.

[art] Austin Martin's Report: Changes, Questions, Comments, etc.

2009-03-20 Thread Austin Martin
*Hello Everyone,**

*I've been a bit hyperactive I guess (considering I jumped the mailing list
number from 5 to 18 including responses (now 19)) so I decided to put
everything I noticed, did, will do, am going to do, etc. in one compiled
list, and I'll probably ask more questions on here if I have them, which
makes it easier on me too, considering the amount of time it takes to get
sent messages on the mailing list.
*
Reporting All the Changes I Have Made:*

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/IssueZilla_Artwork
- Changed Offline materials to Physical Materials, and Online Materials to
Computer Related Materials
- Made the title higher so it looked better with the project list on the
right..
- Added descriptions to the material types. Added link to About Issuezilla

@
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Additional_Artwork_Gallery
- Added links to empty pages, eventually they will hold additional artwork I
suppose..
- Added Wallpapers page (See why below).

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery
- Added a link to a new wiki page, 1 down..
- Changed: These pages contain galleries of proposals submitted by members
of the Art project. into These pages contain galleries of proposals
submitted by members of the Art Project for official artwork. For additional
artwork see The Additional Artwork
Galleryhttp://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Additional_Artwork_Galleryand
follow the links provided.
- Reason: I got the idea that it was for any artwork, and now I'm getting
the message that it is for artwork that *wants* to be official, and I'm
pretty sure that my background won't be official.. (as it hardly has much to
do with OpenOffice.org, other than the flying birds and logo at the bottom
right..)
- Moved Art/Gallery/DesktopBackgrounds to
Art/Website/Additional_Artwork_Gallery/Wallpapers.. - See Reason one up..
- Got rid of the link to the page on Art/Gallery.. _

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery/DesktopWallpapers
- I created the page, setup format, setup guidelines.
- Made My submissions..

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:OOoSpaceDesktop.png
- Uploaded Image

@

- Uploaded Image

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Ajm47
- Numerous things, no one really cares about. lol.

*Further Plans:*

Objections are welcomed.. (They might need to come quick)

@
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Additional_Artwork_Gallery
- Making the pages, and like I did at the Wallpapers page, probably set
guidelines, help, etc.

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Join_us
- Add some of this stuff:
http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/about-participation.html,
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/How_To_Join, and along with
anything else I feel is important in joining..

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Community
- Probably will add myself..
- If no one objects I might look through issuezilla to find artwork
contributors and list there usernames.. (I notice this might not be looked
upon as a positive thing)..

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Open_Tasks
- Might make a table so that people can list tasks that need artwork..

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:Art
- Will change Resources to Official Resource

*Further Questions:*

*Further Comments:*

Ok, there is official artwork and additional artwork, But I'm getting the
mixed message that there is official artwork, additional artwork, and
official additional artwork.  I assume that there is only official artwork
and additional artwork. (This goes along with what I said up there..)

@ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/IssueZilla_Artwork
- Thought I was going to port artwork, no. I'm not going to because I
noticed why there were only a few steps in the process... and then it ended.
(Too Overwhelming . espically when your trying to put it in a very
complicated table.)

*Important Problems:*

*Minor Problems:*

@ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/official_galleries.html - Spelling
Error :P
- Search newly tranlated versions
- tranlated needs to be translated
- Probably need to contact someone who can edit that, haven't yet...

Good Intentions,
Austin Martin, Ajm47
