It's extremely impressive work you're doing. I think that if we end up with more than one theme that makes it to round three, that we should hold a Fedora community vote similar to how we choose the release name (the Board could maybe be given some veto power in exceptional circumstances to pre-whittle down the choices as in the release name suggestion process but none of the artwork we've got thus far I think would require that.) Do you think setting up such a vote would be possible, Paul? We'll know which ones make it to round three by September 1 so we'd want to vote as soon as possible after that. Any runner-ups should be packaged and available. I understand the way theming works this may be difficult, but at the very least we should be able to ship the runner-up wallpapers in base Fedora so they'll always available for selection in the backgrounds capplet. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Personally, I am LOVING the Solar artwork. Samuele, I would ask that you consider doing the following: * Remove the moons - I believe these are distracting to the eye and possibly might confuse users. I have seen my children react to desktop icons like that sometimes. * Remove the "aura" in the middle - It's very bright and interferes with desktop icons that are placed in that area. The solar body does not have this problem because its bright areas are not as wide. I agree with Mo that the GRUB screen might need some slight tweaking, but the other banners are *BEAUTIFUL*. I hope people will not interpret this as negativity toward any other theme, because I think we have MANY great ideas this time. Enough, in fact, that we should consider: (1) holding a runner-up for Fedora 11 to use then, and/or (2) packaging one or more of these as alternates for Fedora 10, like a "10th release ultra-mega-party pack theme extravaganza!" ;-) -- Paul W.

The usage guidelines state that you should switch the letters coloring to stand out against the background rather than using drop shadows or highlights to make it stand out whenever possible. So I would recommend in all the places you are using the logotype with blue, to instead use the logotype in white and remove the glow/shading. The wallpaper still appears to be too high-contrast for a desktop and also the small planets are of the size to be easily confused with desktop icons. I am also concerned about how large the artwork will scale. What is the resolution of the original artwork? Were vectors used to create it (if so you should upload the sources) If not, can you document the steps used to create the artwork so it could be re-created at a higher resolution if needed? The general layout of the grub screen is nice, I am not 100% sure if you will have enough room at the top of the menu to have a logo that large so it may need to be sized down. I am not sure what the lines in the background are symbolizing. I think they are a bit too-high contrast with the background color; try converting them to 14 color as well to see if they will look okay in the final grub version. The fedora logo isn't used properly in the anaconda banner. The logo mark's size in proportion to the logotype has been altered so that the logomark is too large, and the lighter blue color in the logo mark is not the correct RGB value. The aurora, while pretty, seems reminiscent of the new OS X default wallpaper so I would just be aware of that and make sure they are clearly differentiated. If you intend to keep the planet brushes in at least some of the artworks I think you should cite the source of the brushes and document their license so we can ensure it's compatible for inclusion in Fedora. Many 'free' brushes actually impose restrictions on any artworks using them that would make the artworks not suitable for inclusion in Fedora. You definitely should site the source and license of the original photo used to make the large moon/planet as well. Did you create the aurora graphic or is that sourced from elsewhere? If you created it I'd like to see the source/license for it too. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list -- Samuele Storari Art Director Byte-Code srl mobile: +39 347 50 798 32 office: +39 02 9840047 http://www.byte-code.com ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Some comments: * the wallpaper is too busy, removing the planets or making it in the Anaconda Prompt Screen style (i.e. also without the halo) would be IMHO better * the syslinux image looks awesome, not sure how it would look with limited GRUB colours * the anaconda splash looks good, but I don't like the semitransparent part Other than that - awesome work!
