Re: 4Flags (from DesignService)
Hi team!! I've just added some variations of yesterday flags design on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService#4foundations_Flags_for_events Israel ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
4Flags (from DesignService)
Hello, I designed a mock-up for this request (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService#4foundations_Flags_for_events) What should I do? Only link there (as I did)? ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Now as my personal opinion about your graphics, overall I like them but I have a few observation: - are there sources available? - the text is a bit thicker. the ideal size is not trivial to get, but not that hard either: use a normal (not bold) version of MgOpen-Modata and add a stroke; - you used the lion from the release counter banner: that lion is in turn based on a photo with a CC-BY license, you have to follow the license and credit the photographer; - I see you modified a bit the colors for the 4 bubbles and replaced them with gradients, not sure if we want to go with this slight variation, but yours definitely is more shiny -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: 4Flags (from DesignService)
OK, I contacted with the requester and he liked this. About your observation: - Yes, are available, then I link it. - ok - Yes I used the same photo, then I write it credits (the requester ask me if I can do some variations with the lions, to use this in next releases, and I will do it. - If Art team want it, I delete the gradients (or I make them smoother) ok?

OK. We are not sure about what's the best way to credit in such cases, but - If Art team want it, I delete the gradients (or I make them smoother) Again, not sure, I opened this for debate to see what the others think. ok?

I have some feedback for you, I hope it's helpful: - The general layout is great, simple and clean, and you've positioned the elements very well in relationship to each other. These flags will definitely make an impact! - Where are your sources? We need the sources to be posted to the wiki so others can participate. (If there were sources posted I could have quickly mocked up some ideas for improvement to give to you) - The gradients and drop shadows don't really match a lot of our artwork so I would recommend pulling them out. It also looks like the colors of the four icons have been modified. I would stick with the original colors in the file you got them from - I think either Ian Weller or Clint Savage put together a list of color standards for these so you might want to check with them to make sure you're using the right color ocdes. - You're using MG Open Modata, which is perfect, but you're using the bold variant. We typically only use the regular version of this font (the bold version is kind of goofy-looking.) Can you try with the regular version? - The black of the lion seems a little less than ideal compared bright / tropical almost coloring of the four foundations artwork. Can you try a variant with a white lion? It might make the flag brighter and go together a bit better. - These kinds of banners are quite expensive to print, you may want to consider a design that is not F11 specific so that they can be reused (more ecological too!) Thanks again for your work, it is great! ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
