I think you intended to say "the logo can be used only according to its usage guidelines": http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines But a lot of graphics can be done for the project without touching the logo (most of the time we prefer to not use it at all). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Re: [Design-team] Hello New Member
Thank you everyone you have made me feel very welcome :) I have scanned over the wiki pages for your group. I have also checked out the design team group and the logo policy page which are both incredibly useful. I will create some wallpapers and icons for starters, just so you guys know I also know a fair bit about HTML/XHTML & CSS, PHP and i am currently learning the art of font creation. One thing I am not too clear about is the submission of work, I understand that currently I am not a contributing member and thus cannot submit via the CLA but I can display my work on the wiki via hot linking. Is this correct? On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 10:19 AM, Cata wrote: > Nicu has always right .

You may be interested also by the website mockups Mairin did a lot of work on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo > One thing I am not too clear about is the submission of work, I > understand that currently I am not a contributing member and thus cannot > submit via the CLA but I can display my work on the wiki via hot > linking. Is this correct? Is the other way around: you cannot contribute until you agree to the CLA (Contributor License Agreement). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

You can absolutely sign up for a Fedora account right now at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts There are different teams within that system. The Fedora design team requires that you submit one piece of work for critique by the group from our work item list on https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1 We grant you membership in the team group in the account system upon successful completion of the task.

Cool! Here's some tips to help you work through the task: - currently our banners are speced for 200px by 100px. Here's an example: http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/f11release.png - they typically have rounded corners - The font we use is MgOpen Modata. It's available in Fedora with 'yum install mgopen-fonts -y'. You can also download it here: http://www.zvr.gr/typo/mgopen/index - If you need a copy of the logo email l...@fedoraproject.org to obtain a copy and note why you're using it (you can refer to the ticket) ~m ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
