Re: Wallpaper for Beta?
Hey Nicu~ - Original Message From: Nicu Buculei nicu_fed...@nicubunu.ro There are a few things I am not happy about, like the grass not being green enough and the sky being more cyan than blue, but there is time for those after the Beta. It started out a lot more green cyan (see Mola's original mockup, bottom here: http://mola.fedorapeople.org/gimp/view/) But trying that as a wallpaper, it was way too intense and contrasty / distracting for a wallpaper. :( ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: Wallpaper for Beta?
Hey Nicu! - Original Message From: Nicu Buculei nicu_fed...@nicubunu.ro I tried a quick trick starting from one of Mola's images (attached): decreased the saturation and increased the lightness a bit, the colors are closer to what I have in mind (but I should have applied the lightness/saturation operation separately to the grass and sky). Would you mind applying those changes to the newer mockup I posted to the wiki last night? The reason I ask is because Mola's mockup has brushes that don't have an explicit license so I had to redo parts of the image. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

That speaks volumes for this team in my opinion. -- Paul W.

I can't apply the same changes sing the image is different, but I tried something: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Artwork_F11_Betamockup1_n.jpg https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Artwork_F11_Betamockup1_n.xcf.bz2 Personally I like a bit better this way: the color adjustment layer was removes since it made the sky more cyan and the color balance for the background was altered to reduce the cyan more. Also the Cliff overlay layer was removed and the color balance of the Cliff - Base was altered to make it greener. But I am not entirely happy with what I did... -- 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
Wallpaper for Beta?
With all the energy on the list, I thought it would be an opportune time to mention that there is an open issue of wallpaper. There are several options on the table from different contributors. A few are ineligible for specific reasons but there are plenty that are interesting and quite good. When is the decision going to be made about which one goes in the Beta? We are a little past that deadline if the wallpaper is to get into the Beta spin as was originally intended, but it *can* still happen. I suggest deciding on a candidate by tomorrow. If the design isn't perfect there is still time to tweak it as we move toward the Preview Release and the other collateral designs are made. Once that's done, are there multiple people who can work on creating the various other banners and art from that design? -- Paul W.

2009/3/5 Paul W. Frields sticks...@gmail.com Once that's done, are there multiple people who can work on creating the various other banners and art from that design? I think that latest Mo's Mockups are best candidates for the F11 wallpaper. Personally, I can help to provide release banners for the beta and, in the future, for the final version (including countdown). -- Paolo Leoni ~ http://pleoni.altervista.org ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
