Re: Help out with the f11 wallpaper?
Hi a bit late perhaps but I thought of something that may make an interesting background - since you mentioned photographic landscape. I saw an article on tilt-shift photography, where special lenses are used to modify perspective and depth-of-field giving an uncanny model photography effect. This effect can also be faked in CGI rendering. Here's the article, http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/16/beautiful-examples-of-tilt-shift-photography/ There are several sports stadiums (I imagined an amphitheatre) also some Italian landscapes bearing some similarity to the nearby Greek. I thought the large expanses of blurred areas created by the effect would be a good non-distracting background for icons. As to getting any usable images - I can't help but I thought it might inspire someone more artistically inclined :) -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: [Echo Perspective] Trash Can concept #2
I love the look of that, with a minor quibble about the perspective of the front and rear rim. It has a touch of the 'Last Supper' about it :) -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Proposal: Wallpaper extras submission/packaging procedure
Hi, > Sounds good! Then have a new package of wallpapers per month? Perhaps > ten or fifteen at a time? Do the wallpapers have to be packaged up like this? It seems a bit archaic. I have an impression of many people downloading wallpapers they will never use. Instead, I suggest make the wiki presentable enough for end users to see, add a URL along the lines of "Get more wallpapers" to the desktop Appearance Preferences. Make sure the Firefox 'Set as desktop background' option works as expected. Then users can quickly find and use more wallpaper images. -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: OTish: Reccomend Graphics Tablet?
I've got a low cost Medion tablet. It's a reasonable size, pressure sensitive and has worked with some config in F8. I'll have to try it in F9 and see how well it works. Here's what I wrote about getting it working in F8: http://littlethorpe.net/tptrn/article/72/aldis-low-cost-digitiser-tablet-in-linux ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Promotional items?
We've had posters, flyers, t-shirts, banners... what about things like case stickers or usb disks? Is there a framework for working with commercial suppliers, where artwork can be sanctioned and commercial agreements reached? I think it would be interesting to see OSS promoted through branded goods. Or is this seen as undesirable? eg. http://littlethorpe.net/tptrn/images/175.jpg cf. http://intlstore.mozilla.org/ The Firefox branded goods look pretty cool IMHO. -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: [Round 3] Alternative wallpapers for Sulphuric Waves
I don't know if it helps but I was inspired to get hold of some sulphur and make some 'fake rocks' to burn. I've only done one little burn so far. It has to be done outdoors because of the fumes. I plan to do a better one soon but the weather here is terrible right now. There are a few flame pictures on the second page of this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=32132&l=92bed&id=656174051 -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: [Round 3] Alternative wallpapers for Sulphuric Waves
That's a really good image, you can see the brownness of the melted stuff and the blueness of the flame. It's really cool stuff to play with - if you drop the melted sulfur into cold water it turns into a moldable goo, which slowly turns back into the yellow form. If you prod the yellow stuff with a hot soldering iron it will melt then spontaneously ignite. When it burns the fumes mix with water in the air to make acid... I'm sure you could mold a Fedora logo out of it, then set it alight... or etch stuff with the fumes... or something! -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: [Round 3] Alternative wallpapers for Sulphuric Waves
I think the wallpapers are great... is the blueness of the palette a given though? I was thinking back to my youth when some sulphur was burned in a science experiment. There was an amazing range of powdery yellow colours, ranging through to a glossy dark brown for the molten sulphur. Then the flame was a contrasting blue colour that I remember very vividly. I'm almost tempted to find some sulphur and photograph it burning! I can imagine a pair of images with those colours, with blue being the dominant colour in one, and yellow in the other. -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: F8 graphics for marketing
Regarding the use of "infinite" and "possibilities", it's worth noting that Fujitsu uses "The possibilities are infinite" as part of its global branding (that slogan is a trademark). In common with Fedora, the Fujitsu logo includes a motif which references infinity. I like the reference to freedom. The fedora infinity motif could also be interpreted as cyclical, sustainable or continuous. For me freedom is a very important feature distinguishing Fedora from other Linux distros. Another distinguishing feature is being technically as near to the leading edge as is possible. So some other suggestions: return to freedom continuous freedom freedom sustained freedom continuum etc. -Cam ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
