[Design-team] Please allow me to introduce myself

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi, I'm new to the design list, and I'm excited to contribute. My
experience is primarily in web design (including coding html/css), but I
also do a good bit of logo design and some t-shirt/merch design. Please
let me know how I can help!

よろしく おねがいします。

Thanks!

Hi Kris,

I did try it with the std fedora blue, but I thought it had too little
contrast - so I tweaked the luminosity a bit to help readability.

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi Jef,

Thanks for the suggestions. Don't worry - you don't sound mean ;). It's
easy to miss little details sometimes when you're finishing things up
really quickly during lunch :)

On your first point, I had the background quite dark because I didn't
want the logo to get lost. On one of my monitors (not calibrated, mind
you) the logo on the first page got a bit lost in the background, so I
made it darker to be on the safe side. That said, I like the change you
made with the background. I do like seeing the pattern all the way up
the page.

To your second point, grr stupid OOo...

Thirdly, I like the change to the question text - it does make it more
consistent. However, I think changing the position of the contact
info/logo to the right corner makes that corner look a bit crowded.

Thanks for your input - it's very helpful! Let me know if you have any
other ideas! 

Emily

[Design-team] Slide Template Bounty: New revision

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi everybody,

Based on the feedback I've gotten so far, I worked up a new revision of
the slide template. You can get a copy (along with all the
artwork/source files) here: http://www.fightingcrane.com/emily/fedora/

Let me know what you think!

Re: [Design-team] Slide Template Bounty: New revision

Hi Paul,

The template uses Comfortaa and Droid Sans per the design team font
suggestions, so I'm guessing you already have them.

Just in case (and for anyone else following along), you can download
Comfortaa here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Comfortaa
and you can get Droid Sans by installing the google-droid-fonts package.

HTH!

[Design-team] fedora 14 and gnome-shell

[Emily Dirsh]

I just noticed that F14 is going to include gnome-shell. Does anyone
have any thoughts on gnome-shell theming? it uses CSS for theming, so it
would be very easy to have some Fedora friendly gnome-shell theming out
of box.

Thoughts?

Re: [Design-team] Our weekly meetings

[Emily Dirsh]

That's a possibility, but I think having it as an optional social time
is still a good idea. People who only have time to make the meeting can
leave at the conclusion of the meeting, but those with a few more
minutes can stick around for a more informal chat. It may even work the
other way (not sure that's a good thing?) where people may only go to
the meeting if there's a topic they're interested in, but will pop in
for the chat after.

Either way, the after-meeting part is nice for socialization and
undirected spitballing. +fun!

Re: [Design-team] The capital "i" in Comfortaa

[Emily Dirsh]

I'll agree - although it is not really a bone of contention for me
personally, the 'unserif-ized' I is much cleaner looking. And though it
would be able to be mistaken for a lowercase L - although the lower l in
this font is differentiated, it's not immediately obvious - I'd say the
cases where confusion could be a real issue aren't common, and easily
(?) avoided in a titling font.

Also, the word jumbling is really fun, but it's not quite as easy as you
might think. ;) I thought this was interesting:

[Design-team] Joining design team wiki page

[Emily Dirsh]

I've made a few updates to the 'how to join the design team' wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Design_Team 

Here's what I changed:
- I removed one of the info boxes that were at the top, and incorporated
it into the body of the article to remove a bit of clutter/confusion
- I cleaned up the writing a bit, clarified a few steps, and tried to
simplify things overall
- I mentioned the design bounties and pointed to Mo's blog (plug, plug,
plug - more ninjas!!!)
- That's it!

Check out the page history for the exact changes, and feel free to
revise/comment on any of the changes I made!

[Design-team] Font comparison

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi all,

I started making up the type samples for font comparison, but I kept
thinking that something interactive would be more useful, so I made this
instead. Everyone go and try it out so we can pick a font already. :) 

Here's the full url:
http://www.fightingcrane.com/emily/fedora/fontfight/

Let me know if there are any bugs!

Re: [Design-team] Font comparison

[Emily Dirsh]

Yay! good mailing list font discussion. :) I'm glad you like my little
font comparator! ^-^ 

So, here's my $.02:

I like the line-spacing of Cantarell better - it makes reading from line
to line easier, and I like the glyph shapes for the most part, as well.
But there do seem to be some kerning issues as Paul pointed out. It
doesn't look quite as polished as Droid. And for some reason (probably
just me being OCD) the lowercase 'a' is bugging the crap out of me.
Every time I read something in Cantarell, that 'a' catches my eye. Aside
from my own weird glyph obsession, it also doesn't actually cover (as
far as I can see) the cyrillic or greek scripts. I believe it's just
using the default serif font to display those scripts. So, if that's an
issue, we'll need to either pick another font to cover them, or get
those scripts added to the font (volunteers?).

I find Droid easier to read on a line, and at smaller sizes. Droid also
does have cyrillic and greek, and according to wikipedia, it's supposed
to have CJK support? ¯\(°_°)/¯ And to me, it's cleaner looking... but
that's just an aesthetic preference. 

Grr, I'm really conflicted here. I think aesthetically, I like Droid
better overall, but Cantarell is open and source-available, so even
though it has some issues, we can fix them...

Re: [Design-team] Font comparison

[Emily Dirsh]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm pretty sure it's because Epiphany isn't
downloading the remote fonts. Epiphany doesn't appear to have a
javascript console, so I can't be sure, but if you have them installed,
it will use the local fonts, so it seems to be a problem with the remote
fonts. It's really odd, because other webkit based browsers
(chrome/chromium) aren't having this problem. :( Well, I don't like it,
but since it at least works on firefox, I'm going to leave it as is. If
anybody wants to play around with the code, it's all contained in that
single html file.

[Design-team] Design/Artwork wiki pages

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi all,

This was discussed last week in the meeting, and since no one
volunteered, and I had a few spare minutes I took it upon myself to make
some changes to the design team wiki page. ;)

I basically added some information that was missing from the Design page
- all general information about the design team "what we do" "services
provided" etc - pretty much verbatim from the Artwork page. I just
removed some out of date links and pointed people to the ticket
tracker. 

I also added a warning on the Artwork page that it is out of date, and
people should look at the Design page instead. 

The Artwork page still has some information about Resources, Long term
projects, and Guidelines which may also need to be added to the Design
page. I'm just not sure which, if any, of that info is still relevant.
If we can get all relevant information moved from Artwork to Design then
we can hopefully archive the Artwork page and redirect it to the Design
page.

So, anybody with a few minutes to spare go check it out and make it
better! :D

Hi Adam, welcome to the design team! :) The sketches look really good!

Personally, I think the bottom sketch has the most potential for
developing into something with enough visual interest to make an impact
and be distinctive. Like Nicu and Jef have said, it will have to be
simplified a good bit. I could see it in a medallion-style logo. 

Also, is this meant to be a logo or an icon? The ticket says logo, but
you said "logo/icon". Those are different use cases and can look very
different, so... just wondering...

[Design-team] Gnome shell theming plus extension!

[Emily Dirsh]

At yesterdays design meeting, we talked a bit about gnome-shell theming.
I made a small gnome-shell extension to make it easier. (With the help
of my lovely bf Liam whom I "recruited" ;)) It adds a "button" to the
gnome-shell panel that reloads the theme/css file without having to
restart the Shell. 

You can install it by extracting it to
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and restarting gnome-shell if it's
running.

If you don't have gnome-shell installed, there is a package for it! :D
Or you can build it from source - there are instructions on the
gnome-shell page.

Once you have the extension installed, just edit the gnome-shell.css
file and click the "Refresh theme" button on the panel to see the
changes!

gnome-shell page (with build instructions): 
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell
gnome-shell extensions: 
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions

Download my extension:
http://www.fightingcrane.com/emily/fedora/Theme_Reloader_GS_Ext.tar.bz2

PS - I tested it on my own machine, but other than that, you will all
have to be test-monkeys - so let me know if anything goes wonky with the
extension! thx!

Thanks Jef! I haven't contacted anyone else about it. Although I would
love to share it with the gnome-shell team (probably the design team).
Liam and I just threw it together last night, and it's pretty rough
right now, so I thought I'd share it here and see if I could get it
tested a bit more. ;) (Honestly, I could see it as the basis of a theme
switcher/selector extension, but that's too ambitious for me atm :))

I've had trouble building gnome-shell lately as well. Have you tried
installing the gnome-shell package? I found out last night that there is
a package for it in the repos. I'm not sure how recent it is, but it
should be fine for theme testing.

When I get a chance, I'll definitely get in touch with the gnome-shell
team, because I also think we should help with documenting the
gnome-shell theming process. We really need documentation on available
selectors, and what parts of the shell they correspond with; as well as
the non-standard css styles the shell supports. You can figure a good
bit of it out between the included css file and plain trial and error,
but let's only have to do that once ;)

Fedora has a gnome-shell package in the standard repos, it's just old.
If you want to play with it just for theming, it's probably adequate
tho.

Just to keep everyone up to date - I've now contacted bslmmers,
imhullot, eflon, joiseyshowaa, and udono about the licensing/attribution
of their photos for inclusion in the package. Nighttime water by
darkmere is licensed CC-by-nc-nd, which I believe is incompatible?

Also, nicubunu mentioned blogging/promoting the supplemental wallpaper
package, but I don't have a blog :) - so is there anyone on the list
with a blog who wants to plug it for us? :D

Thanks Nicu!

I've also received positive replies from the folks I contacted. (5 for
5! woo!) I went ahead and updated the attributions on the wiki to comply
with their individual attribution requests.

Now we just need to test them and make any necessary edits! :)

[Design-team] F14 splashes

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi all,

There's been a number of new wallpapers and splash screens submitted. I
think I've got them all collected on the wiki pages. So, if anyone wants
to go look and submit feedback in preparation for the meeting tomorrow
(there's still a meeting tomorrow right? ;)) you can see the wallpapers
at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork#Wallpapers_2 and the

Thanks Marc! It looks great! We're only doing one size of each image,
though. The original photo's aspect ratio is in between widescreen and
standard, so I'm thinking we should use the standard size.

[Design-team] Beta wallpaper revision

[Emily Dirsh]

I know it's a bit down-to-the-wire, but I (finally! ;)) finished a new
revision of the beta wallpaper. It's up on the wiki now here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:F14-wallpaper-remix-em-light-rev1.png

I replaced the light spots/lens flare with a light streak/aurora effect.

I don't have the source file uploaded just yet - it's huge! - but I'm
working on it and I'll post a link on the wiki ASAP.

See what you think!

There are a few issues with the attribution here:
 1. On Autumn Colors, the Author should be listed as B. Katz not
Joisey Showa and please include his blog
(http://www.joiseyshowaa.com)
 2. 'Mount Bator and Mount Sumeru in the back in Bali' is actually
titled Sunrise on Tengger Caldera and the author's flickr name
is jmhullot not imhullot
 3. On Dutch Skies, Bas Lammers email address (bslm...@yahoo) is
invalid, I'd just remove it. 
 4. On Seneca Lake, please list the author as Alex Wolcott.

Basically, this has the same issues as the attribution file
 1. laughlin-autumn_colors.desktop, author should be listed as B.
Katz
 2. laughlin-bali.desktop, author is jmhullot on flickr, not
imhullot ;)
 3. laughlin-seneca_lake.desktop, author should be Alex Wolcott

I think the chooser widget only supports showing a limited amount of
information, so it's not your fault ;). What Nicu, Mo, and I discussed
was including attribution information in the image name, so instead of
e.g.:
Autumn Colors
we would have:
Autumn Colors by B. Katz (www.joiseyshowaa.com)

It's not as elegant, but it gets the job done.

Re: [Design-team] Beta wallpaper revision

[Emily Dirsh]

Well, obviously some of us (including me ;)) like having something in
the middle. Personally, I think it is a bit jarring, and visually
unsatisfying to leave it completely empty. 

But then again, some of us don't like having something there. So,
keeping that in mind, I managed to work up yet another revision - not to
take away from mo's really nice version, but just to see where this one
takes me ;) - and I tried this time to find a bit of a compromise...
There's something in the middle, but it's not anything definite, and
it's much more subtle than the big starburst/supernova effect I had
before. See what you all think!

Re: [Design-team] Fedora 14 Sleeve Artwork (New variant)

[Emily Dirsh]

These look really good Alexander! I like the crowd image on the back,
and the reflection on the front is really nice.

wrt the lower right corner - I think the contrast provided by the
lighter blue looks a good bit better, maybe we can play with some other
way of differentiating between the kde and standard release? Also, the
spacing of the logo(s) and the 14 seems a bit too far apart. I think if
they're spaced closer together it'll look more cohesive. 
Also, on the standard release covers, it looks a bit redundant to have
the fedora logo twice in such close proximity, so maybe we should remove
the small top logo?

I agree - I don't think the minimum requirements are very helpful. It's
also not very clear what minimum requirements means - is it the minimum
needed to boot or is it the minimum needed to be reasonably usable? It
also doesn't address disk space requirements or minimum graphics needed.
Personally I think we should just leave it off, as this is very
old/basic hardware, and there are many people who won't even know what
kind of hardware they're running or how to find out. The only exception
may be indicating the requirement of a 64-bit processor for the 64-bit
version (maybe with 'if you're not sure, use the 32-bit CD').

You recalled correctly. I don't have time for blogging, I have pandas to
make! ;) Thanks for pointing out the fedora blog hosting - I was not
aware. I'll definitely look into that, but for now, if anyone would like
to blog about the release poster please do so. I think Mo said she was
going to do a blog post about all of the release art (discs+sleeves,
countdowns, poster) at the last meeting. But more publicity for the

I've got an initial design for the back of the shirt posted here:

Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a
single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color. ;) Jef
already posted a few variations for a dark background, but of course, I
had to do a few of my own. I've got one that's primarily the light
fedora blue [1] and one that's primarily the dark fedora blue [2] - I
thought just inverting the black to white was a bit too stark, but I did
like leaving in the white background on the boxes. I personally prefer
the light blue variation (I think it would look great on a navy
shirt :)). I'll post my other concept as soon as it's ready! :)

Re: [Design-team] FUDcon Tempe shirt

[Emily Dirsh]

So, since my other idea didn't really work out - this is the concept,
people! :) So, if anyone has any feedback, now is the time for it! 

Right now, I'm under the impression that the dark blue and white design
on a black background [1] is the overall favorite. There has also been
some talk that the logo needs to be adjusted. I think one person said
smaller, someone else said larger, ;) so if anyone else has any feedback
on the relationship of the logo to the rest of the design speak now or
forever hold your horses. 

Anyway, I'm going to finish up the design, add in the fudcon
information, put together some small graphic for the shirt front, and
post back to the list for final feedback within the next few days, so
please please pretty please post any feedback to the list asap!

Thanks everyone!

Emily

Jóhann's email didn't make the list, so I don't know what else he said,
but I, for one, did not come away with that interpretation. I don't
think it's uncommon, or a bad thing, for teams to have *team leaders*.
And it's not a big secret that you are the design team leader. That
certainly can mean you have more influence on our team decision making,
but again, not necessarily a bad thing, and it doesn't negate the
importance of the anyone else's membership or input in the team.

Hi Kirk,

Welcome aboard! We're currently having a bit of a brouhaha over the

We're starting to focus more on enhancing ux in fedora, so that's
great!

If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend reading up on how to join
the design team on the fedora wiki [1], and looking over the design team
ticket tracker [2] to see  if there are any open tickets you'd be
interested in claiming.

We also have weekly IRC meetings every Tuesday at 1900 UTC at
#fedora-des...@freenode.net. You're welcome to start attending. 
Actually, the meetings may be put on hiatus until after the new year, so
keep a lookout on the mailing list for a notice about an upcoming
meeting. If you don't see one, we're probably not having one.

Nice to meet you!

[Design-team] Fudcon Tempe Shirt

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a wonderful midwinter celebration of choice. As
promised (a while ago, I know, but better late than never) here's the
-hopefully- penultimate Fudcon Tempe t-shirt design [1] (source - [2]).
I changed it somewhat based on the feedback I got for the original
design. The logo is larger, and has a bit more space around it. That
means the surrounding design is necessarily smaller. blah blah blah.
Give me your feedback, people! 

Happy New Year!

Emily

Re: [Design-team] Fudcon Tempe Shirt

[Emily Dirsh]

So,

Thanks to herlo for pointing out my little time-travel slip-up. I've
corrected the date, and I couldn't resist changing the front just a bit.
I felt like it needed something more exuberant to match the back.

Anyway, the latest shirt is here [1], and the updated source is here
[2]. Hopefully everyone likes it, but if not, well, I'll change it! :)

Great notes, Kirk and Mo. The app uses the jQuery Image Annotation
plugin [1] (cuz I <3 jQuery) to manage the notes. It will probably
require hacking/forking the plugin to get, let's see, all but I think 5.
That doesn't mean we can't do it, though, cuz we can! I just used the
plugin as is to get something together as quickly as possible. It's
awesome that we're using it already! :) Jef and I'll both look into
getting some of these features done. Another feature to add to the list
is a gallery (I think Mo mentioned that one during the meeting this
week). 

tschüs! Em

Hi Robyn,

It was actually all together in the one source file. I went ahead and
separated out the sources for the front [1] and back [2] of the shirt,
converted the text to paths and resized them to actual size per Brand
X's art guidelines[3]. I also converted them to pdfs [4] since they seem
to prefer it. If there are any problems with the files, just let me
know.

This looks really cool! I think it has a lot of potential. You should
definitely pursue it. I agree with Mo, I think it would be better if you
didn't try to composite it over the G3 wallpaper.

If I go to the address you listed above, I just get the main design-team
blog page. But, if I click on the title, I go to this page:

http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/designteam/?p=3

and it does go to the post page, where it would list comments if there

Looking at the trac list, we're really not getting more than one or two
tickets a week if that, so I don't think there's much chance that this
list is going to get cluttered up with tickets. So, why have to maintain
two lists? I'm pro combining lists.

We use a ticket tracker (https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/) to keep
track of design requests. You should file a new ticket for each of the
graphics projects you listed above. Provide as much detail as you can.
Include things like where/when/how you plan to use the requested
graphic, and if there are any limitations. This will help us get design
folks assigned to your requests and keep track of progress, etc.

Hi Brodie,

We're always happy to have new folks on board! Yay!

Everything you ever wanted to know about joining the design team is on
our wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Design_Team

You should read it through and follow the steps. If, unlikely though it
may be, you do have something you want to know that isn't on the wiki,
you can post it on the list, or hop on our irc channel -> #fedora-design
on irc.freenode.net and ask.

We also use a ticket tracker to keep track of design requests. Look it
over when you get a chance:
https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1.

If you see something you're interested in, and nobody owns it, you can
claim it. If you're interested in pixel-art, you might want to think
about picking up one of the icon requests, but be fore-warned, they are
not for the faint of heart. ;) If you're not sure, just ask and someone
on the design team can assign something for you to do. 

We also have weekly irc meetings, every Tuesday at 2000 UTC, which you
should seriously think about attending. They're pretty fun, and it's a
great way to introduce yourself and get more involved. There's usually a
reminder sent to the mailing list Tuesday mornings, so don't worry about
forgetting.

We're a pretty friendly bunch, so if you have any questions about
joining, a ticket, irc, or anything else, feel free to ask!

Emily

[Design-team] Notitie updates

[Emily Dirsh]

Hi all,

I just wanted to keep everyone updated. I've managed to squeeze in some
time to work a bit on Notitie. ;) I've *finally* pushed the security
updates I made at FUDcon, and I added a database backend as an
alternative to the file backend it was using. All of which can be seen
on the gitorious repo: http://gitorious.org/remote-image-annotation

What it really needs now is testing! bug reports, and feature requests!
Which can be filed, btw, at the project page on Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/notitie.

I'll try to get it set up on our test server soon, but I'm not sure when
I'll have time to do it, so if any of the other admins want to get it
set up on the server, go right ahead! :)

Hi Guys!

So, the beta readiness meeting is this week, and since Mo is on her
honeymoon, we need someone else to represent! :) I don't mind doing it
if no one else wants to, but due to lots and lots of travel and other
busyness I'm not really current on what is/isn't ready for beta. So, it
might be better for someone more informed to do it. Anyway, if anyone
does want to do the meeting, please just claim it, otherwise I'll do it
and just get the info off the wiki. :)

Re: [Design-team] Fedora Presentation Template

Hey Ryan,

I think this is the ticket for the design ninja project I did when I
joined. I'm really surprised it's still open. I can ask Mo to be sure,
but it definitely looks like it.

Here's the slide deck if you're interested:

This is a really good idea.  Although for sizable tablet targets, it
may not be as much of a win, I'd think plenty of people read on small
mobile devices like phones.  Using a mobile theme for those devices
makes reading much more pleasant!

I worked some this weekend on an alternate design. [1] It's a pretty 
simple layout, and shouldn't be hard to responsify (we can all agree, 
this is now a word, right?). I was going for a clean, modern look, with 
45 degree lines as a visual element that plays off of the shape of my 
favorite of mizmo's logos (the shape of the logo is essentially the 
fedora logo shape rotated 45  degrees.) It's not completely finished but 
you can get an idea of the aesthetic. Let me know what you think!

FYI, I've been mentoring Paul this summer, as he's been working on Glitter

to be a big help. I'd really appreciate it if we could add him to the group!

Re: [Design-team] Github Repos

[Emily Dirsh]

I think we should consider a use case approach. A few use cases off the top
of my head:
- sharing common resources like inkscape templates
- collaborating on the wallpaper or another project
- collecting safe-to-use photos/illustrations for the magazine
- archiving old artwork for inspiration or potential reuse (but without a
specific need)
- distributing fedora logos to team members

I'm sure there are others I'm not considering right now.

It might help to list out the kind of things we want to include, but then
think about _why_ we want to include them when figuring out how to organize
it all into specific repos. That way, for our most common use cases, we can
set up repos where you can clone a repo and get everything you need, while
minimizing what you don't need.

As far as the banner ad you mentioned, IMO it should go in the repo, but I
think the use case would be archival more than anything else.

Good point. Just need to make sure the shared drive is visible to the team
so people actually use it. :)

Agreed.

It might also be helpful to have a specific naming convention to
distinguish ux project repos from artwork project repos - i.e.
projectname-ux, or something like that.

I'm planning to go. I think it would be great to have some UX-related
sessions - since one of our team goals is to do more UX work. I'd love to
have something hands-on like a user testing workshop. And this is me
volunteering you, mo, but it might also be cool to do a UX case study talk
around hyperkitty or anaconda.
