[ubuntu-art] Matte and Gloss work
Hi all, I have done some Matte and Gloss work (well, it ended up as Swirls, Matte and Gloss...) I started with the logon splashes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/Incoming/WhoLsplash And finally made two GDMS using one of the styles to test that it 'scaled' to a larger image - I think it does very well and that it also keeps the simplicity and 'power' of the original GDM dscrren that Mark said he wanted to keep... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/Incoming/WhoGDM (in the course of it I changed my glossy logo, thoughts on the ones at the ed vs the ones at the beginning?) I'd love your opinions on it so I know which ideas to develop further... Thanks, Who -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

There's a sizing issue, where the "ubuntu" is too small relative to the logo, but the "chiselled glass" look with the tight borders is very cool.

Who Who, I also like #14 and the top GDM screen. I wonder how it would look in a bit more of a tan color instead of the off yellow color it is now? Seems that yellow, and orange that we have for icons will clash quite a bit. One thing I thought about on the GDM, is that if you create a bit of shadow under the top horizontal line, and a bit less than that over the bottom horizontal line, it would further the illusion of being sunken(if that was what was intended). Like you said, it mimics the simplicity and powerful statement of the current design.

Excellent work Who! My preferences are simple: The first splash and the first gdm theme :-)Splash 14 has been very popular, but my primary objection to it is that it is not as powerful matte/glass combination as fx 01 or 02 is. I still like 14, I just like 01 better :-) If people are so keen on 14, then why not 15 instead? The lighting is a bit more alive in that one... Anyway, good work, cheers,Mikkel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
