Re: [ubuntu-art] Natty Xubuntu Wallpaper. Edubuntu needs help too!

Natty is shorthand for Natty Narwhal, the codename for Ubuntu 11.04. http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/478 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames Regarding resolution, it's possible to get good results with a single one, as long as it's only scaled down, never up (scaling down can make things blurry, too, but not as much). That's why I recommend 2560 x 1600 pixel. For raster images, it can be worthwhile to work in double the size, as it helps to attain a smooth result, but that takes a lot of memory. However, there can be problems with composition for the varying aspect ratios. That's why this exists: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds#Templates Of course, one could consider to create one version per common aspect ratio. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

There seems to be tradition to put a single color selection in front, e.g. blue for Fedora, green for Suse and it used to be brown for Ubuntu. I hope we can free us from this approach and first think about what it is we are trying to express. What are the defining characteristics of a specific distribution? What do we know about the audience? What is the tone we want to hit, the posture to adopt? What is the message? How does all of this translate to a color scheme and stylistic choices? That said, take a look for the colors used so far: http://www.xubuntu.org/ http://edubuntu.org/screenshots -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Reported over here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/642860 It's a new problem from previous releases, because they're trying something new: the countdown is just a single external image that you link to instead of a crazy JavaScript / iframe thing.

They too are thinking about a direction So, we have lots of stuff to do folks! :-) Thanks for setting the wheels in motion! The current Edubuntu wallpaper isn't that bad, but we've used it for two releases now, and personally I think it lacks a lot of contrast with the panels and other elements. We're not very strict with what we require and would like to give artists as much freedom as possible. After UDS we should have more details of the overall artwork vision for natty in Edubuntu though! -Jonathan -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
