[ubuntu-art] Flyer happiness
Hi,
I've played with the flyer for the last few hours, in preparation of
translating the whole thing to German.
I've recreated the whole thing in Inkscape (no, Photoshop and InDesign are
NOT tolerated here), *except* for the nice Arial Round font which costs $$.
Does anybody know of a reasonably-high-quality reasonably-lookalike font
for that thing?

Does anybody know of a reasonably-high-quality reasonably-lookalike font for that thing? I wish. I have also been adapting the CD cover to a DVD cover. This should hit the DIYmarketing wiki page soon. Corey -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Is it? Then why is it in the repositories? Nicolas -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

While I agree that every wallpaper doesn't need to be mentioned on the list, we (the art team) DO need wallpapers for the calendar images. My suggestion is to keep them either on art.ubuntu.com or on your own personal page (or blog, or flickr, etc, etc). Then when the time comes, we know exactly who to talk to and where to look for wallpapers for Dapper. Since I've been out of the loop, I'm not sure if we have editing capabilities yet for the artists on art.ubuntu.com, but that would be a good thing. You can also have a link to your own website in your profile there, making it easier to find things and give people proper credit. Worst case scenario - if we can't edit the entries on art.ubuntu.com and you can't find a place to host your images, I'd be happy to put them on my own server. Because of my back problems it would probably just mean dumping them in a directory for you to link to, but it would be better than nothing. Thanks for sharing your ideas - Nice job on the drawings. I'm sure these designs look great on your desktop. Ditto. Nice illustrations! Since we have more time than we did for Breezy, we can afford to do some experimenting with themes and such. I personally can't get the image of Scrooge McDuck out of my head, but I'm not in my right mind anyway. :-) Keep up the good work. P.S. I'm not dead. :-) My spinal fusion went remarkably well, and I'm moving around more now than I was able to for my previous (far less invasive) discectomies. Life can't be easy though... I developed a bacterial infection in my stomach about a week before surgery and the meds to combat that are as rough on me as the surgery was. Doh! I'm praying I'll be in good enough shape to enjoy our Thanksgiving dinner coming up. :-) Thanks to everyone that was thinking about me during my hospital stay. -- Aaron Ubuntu SVG Artwork - http://www.volvoguy.net/ubuntu --- Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere. ~ G.K.

Re: [ubuntu-art] background idea
I really like the whole fractal idea. Very very clever. Placement is good too. If you can use the SVG version, like others suggested, it'll be easier for you, and will look better. Keep it up!

Anyways, here's the main portion of my idea for a background image. I need to clean up the edges on the big arc, and spruce up the background instead of having it just be white. I like some of the curves on one of the background images, which I can't remember the name of, or where I found it. I think on volvoguys website, which is linked to by the artwork community web site. http://personal.carthage.edu/agronning/images/background1.png Any constructive feedback is welcome! -Ari -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
