Re: Art ideas for Fedora 11 (grub, boot, splashes, window decorations, button styles etc...)
Hi all, I think about creating a graphic's theme on the release number just to have something different from the Acient Greek theme. Maybe I've got to write on the wiki something, but right now, my proposal still only on my mind and I'ven't got nothing to share... :( I don't understand what we have to do for this first round and what's the final round 1 date?

We avoid using release numbers in the artwork so people who like the artwork for a particular release can keep using it in later versions. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

We're doing things a little differently this time. We are going to try to work together on one idea this time. We need to figure out the visual concept for F11 (if we are going to go Greek vs. go something related to the Navy or to the Perfect Mean) by Feb 1 which is coming up very soon. The deadlines and description of what we are doing along with our brainstorming is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F11 Looking forward to your ideas! ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Wallpaper survey
Hey folks, In case you didn't catch it on planet Fedora, I have been running an informal survey of the desktop backgrounds folks are using (getting responses from both Fedora and GNOME community members.) I've gotten a LOT of replies, check them out: http://mihmo.livejournal.com/68292.html So far as I've been able to read through them, they seem to fit into 3 categories: - #1 stick with the default (distro default or desktop env default) or flat solid color - #2 personalized no matter what (photos they took themselves or photos of family members) or a photo of an interest hobby (racecars, bikes, hometown, etc) - #3 beautiful pictures of nature, usually with some depth So I think as we are still thinking about our approach to F11, we should think about these wallpapers that folks are actually using and try to create something that they will like having as their desktop background as much as possible. #2 would be impossible for us to do, but #3 we can most certainly do. Looking at it this way, maybe for the wallpaper we could have a beautiful landscape with maybe some Grecian elements, maybe ruins of Grecian columns or a garden stylized in a Grecian way (maybe with some sculpture) and maybe we could follow the Golden Mean in laying out the elements of the image. What do you think? ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I really like that we're asking users to tell us what they do with their desktop backgrounds, and using that to inform how we deliver something they'll like (and hopefully use).

Like if the columns are ruins, we don't want to give off the message that Fedora is in ruins or something like that. We want to highlight the positive aspects... eg rather than posing Fedora as the column, if we've got say a pretty columns-ruins landscape, pose fedora as the vines and plants and nature growing on top of the the old columns (the columns then become the establishment/proprietary software) Then it becomes more, 'Fedora - making proprietary OSes history' rather than 'Fedora is old broken crap!' :) ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I could be stretching a bit for that interpretation, though. Another idea: Atlas is a Greek mythological figure (a Titan, actually) that held up the world.

Adminning around my group I found two interesting themes that people like (apart from the usual). 1: A picture of their actual desk. With their notes and scribbles and pieces of equipment and such. This looks really good. I encourage people to try it. 2: Four bold colour landscapes or even just solid colours for each time of the day (morning:blue, noon:white, evening:red, night:black). That way they know what time of the day it is (PhDs can not tell the time of day) and what time to go home. Much brighter than the ones by default. Interestingly they like to do this by overwriting the default background png files (in this case the FC8 infinity ones) rather than making a new xml. They generally feel that the default ones are not different enough to tell apart, but that might not be a bad thing. These are not necessarily the ways we wish to go with the default background but just to answer the enquiry. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
