Re: The third draft for F10 Solar CD/DVD sleeves
May be a little nitpicky, but what's wrong with calling a machine made by Apple (regardless of whether it has a ppc, pcc64, or Intel chip) a PC? By every definition (other than Apple's marketing), it is a personal computer thereby qualifying it as a PC. Personally, I wish I could see on the sleeve that my mac can use it. Of course, I admitted that when I was a newbie in Linux, I was rather confused by the name of i386/586/686... Maybe a simple mark, saying 32- bit or 64-bit, will be better? Or we just mention the 64-bit CD/DVD separately but none on CD? I really like these, however, I'd also like to drive any potential contributors to join.fedoraproject.org on the back of the sleeve. I think that we did that with F9 to great effect. Comments, criticisms or flames? :) I noticed that in the final printable sleeves for Fedora 9 fedoraproject.org has been changed to join.fedoraproject.org. Maybe it is a good idea to follow this way, isn't it? -- Jarod Wen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Hi Adam, Thanks for your comment. In fact the sentence has been changed back to be i686 Live CD to conform to the names in the download page of live cd. Please find the new version from the top of the list. Thanks!

Fourth draft for F10 sleeves for your comments
Hi all, Sorry for this late update. Please find them from the link http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/jarodwen/Fedora/10/sleeve_arts/sleeve_arts.html The main changes are: New drafts with single png file as background. The nebula has been removed due to the cost of printing. Some additional information about the live CD is added. There are some problems on the fonts since my X11 fails to load MgOpen fonts. I will fix this later when I am back to my lab. Give me your comments!

The link is unchanged: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/jarodwen/Fedora/10/sleeve_arts/sleeve_arts.html Other people have already pointed out that removing the nebula will probably help reduce the number of colors. You mean the red nebula, right? I will remove it soon. How about the light around the planet? Maybe I can try to change the red nebula into a light one, just like the one around the planet. The x86_32 should simply be x86. Some of guys said x686. I think it must come from the kernel version. Maybe I can just use 32-bit CD and 64-bit DVD or something like this? We still need some additional text that describes for the recipient how to use the media in hand. I think I suggested some text for this earlier: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-October/msg00057.html I am still struggling on this, since some of them said that too many words in the sleeve is not a good design. DVD is ok somehow, since the space is enough. However, I think the one needs more words is the live- cd. I am now planning to add a small label like InsertEnjoy for live-cd and InstallEnjoy for DVD. How do you think about it, guys? You can find my drafts of two labels here(The characters are white- color, so you may see nothing in your browser.

For the CD cases it seems like the sun isn't the same as the DVD case or the rest of the artwork... could you check that? It's the same base XCF, but some of the layers have been hidden, removing some of the surface turbulence and most of the foreground flares. If we're going with the top image though, I'd like to see those layers restored. It is really the problem for me to merge the same planet from DVD to CD, since I didn't find a better way to copy several layers together to another Gimp file(I am a newbie there...), so finally I made a png for the planet image and combine it into the CD files. I am sure that the conversion from layers to png has eaten something... Anyone gives me some ideas on that? Ian Weller wrote: You might want to use the MgOpen Modata font, as that's the font that Fedora uses for pretty much everything in their designs. You can get it installed by running yum install mgopen-fonts Yeah, MgOpen Modata for the release number (10), disk title (x86 LiveCD) and for the url (fp.o). But the copyright text *may* be better (has to be tested) to stay with a plain font (Liberation, DejaVu) for readability. In fact I used the MgOpen Moderna, since when I tried to use MgOpen Modata, I found that the effects on my works showed a little difference from the ones in the sleeves of Fedora 9, where MgOpen Modata was used. I think I can changed it soon. Rahul Sundaram wrote: IIRC, the number of different colors shoots up the printing cost of the material drastically. Shades of the same color is ok. You might want to keep that in mind. That is a real concern when printing on the real CD on large scale, but for inkjet sleeve printing (do yourself at home) it is not a problem. Ye guys, you are right. I didn't consider this problem. I will try to decrease the number of colors.

Candidates for Fedora 10 CD/DVD sleeves
Hi all, I have just finished my first attempt: two candidates for the live cd, one for the install dvd. The style of the design follows the previous version used in Fedora 9. Most of the sources used in these design are from the source of Solar theme of Fedora 10. Since I am a newbie in design using Gimp and Inkscape, there are lots of learner's attempts... Please don't hesitate to give me any suggestions to improve the source files. You can find them from the link: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/jarodwen/Fedora/10/sleeve_arts/sleeve_arts.html Sorry for using my own website since I am not familiar with the process on how to upload these files onto our wiki. And of course, I think they are still drafts. I need your advice to improve them. Thanks!
