Composition is another thing that is easily adjusted. Once a direction is chosen, it is very easy to offer compositional variants.

Also, the one in the last image looks sharp too. contrast issue? Again, try to see the forest through the trees at this phase. As a general rule: * DON'T worry about resolution / dithering / minutiae * DO try to estimate how the elements will fit into the big picture. * DON'T look at proposals as an either / or situation -- we are completely free to mix and match general concepts and bundle them into a polished final product. Hope this helps a bit... Some terrific work is showing up, keep it up folks!

[ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS: Request
Some terrific work coming down the pipes in a good direction right now! jmak, Who_, Weidel, etc are all busy banging out some terrific stuff that is along the lines of what we need. If _everyone_ who offers up some loose mocks could send me a wiki page with their variations, I will contact sheet them all. This will make it far more expedient for evaluations once we have enough takes on a particular direction. NOTE: My ubuntu-art list items are filtered, so please put keyword PROPOSAL in the mail you send to me and make sure it doesn't have 'ubuntu-art' in it. Thanks once again, and keep the awsome work up guys! signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS: Wiki Update
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LSplashProposal In the limited time I had today, I tried to offer up a better selection of mockups for the lsplash. I chose the lsplash initially because all of the critical elements are contained within it -- backing texture (TBD), loose logo, loose title, etc. All of these elements should be easy to extrapolate into some version of a logon screen. If someone can find the time, it would be nice to see some viable logon screen mockups submitted. I will attempt to mock up a few sketches based around the current direction. Extreme thanks to Wiedel and Who_ for their work. I did a direct borrow for the compositional mockups. Outstanding issues: * Direction of flow with backing texture. * Over glow of pill / logo / title gloss etc. Niel and Frank are pounding out some Blender samplings and alternatives to the artistic glossy textures. * Complimentary offerings of wallpaper, usplash, logon. * Compositional variants if direction is given. Hopefully someone can build on this. XCF etc avail if need be. I transitioned them into uniformed PNGs simply because I prefer to have identically sized contacts. Anyone finding the time to offer variant proposals, I will try to knock them out with time. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LSplashProposal Good luck and thanks again to all of those out there contributing and helping the cycle development.

[ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS: Gloss sampling update
I took the time to wiki up a contact based on the current submissions for gloss approaches. These are all artistic based. Once Frank and Niel get the bugs out of the Blender processes, I'll contact up the results. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/GlossProposal signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS
I have created a proposal sub area of the incoming section on the wiki. Thus far, I have dropped Niel's early work on some logo props: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LogoProposal and the full contact that I have churned out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/BackingTexturesProposal For centralization, let's keep them under EdgyProposals. If anyone can provide them, some good loose logo proposals would be appreciated. Don't worry about fine tuning -- just get them out the door. Obviously we can comp against the default logo, but having some glossy variations would be nice. Here is Who_'s work, but it would be nice to see many more for variations in the comping.

[ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS: Update
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/ Root page now shows subchildren as per the template. I have probably missed several wiki pages that need to be moved here. Sorry if I overlooked some pages -- I was in a huge rush and must escape. Please migrate accordingly. Thanks. CHANGED: Added Niklas' glossy samples. (Could Niklas perhaps pinch off one or two with the default Ubuntu text featuring the dynamic gloss effect? Thanks) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS
Regarding Niel's work on logoproposal, I would say that the top left one has the best lighting - if it could be centered just a tiny bit so the last u has the same shade as the first. When one edge of a text like that is darker it offcenters it. /weidel2006/7/13, Troy James Sobotka [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have created a proposal sub area of the incoming sectionon the wiki.Thus far, I have dropped Niel's early work on some logo props: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LogoProposaland the full contact that I have churned out:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/BackingTexturesProposal For centralization, let's keep them under EdgyProposals.If anyone can provide them, some good loose logo proposals wouldbe appreciated.Don't worry about fine tuning -- just get them out the door.Obviously we can comp against the default logo, but having someglossy variations would be nice.Here is Who_'s work, but it would be nice to see many more forvariations in the comping.(I moved it to the Edgy bin as well): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/GlassyLogo-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEtnuCar0EasPEHjQRArekAJ42AKPTkojkDOzMCQbSRqfmIMsibgCg6DZR79JVLXiM8y6YUut0XMH7Khw==oRrO-END PGP SIGNATURE---ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.comhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I tend to overwork everything, but I'll try to keep it moderately simple. :) At this development point, it is more useful to have many variations. Various applications of your sheen would be very useful to compare against each other. Perhaps even using tones etc. One side benefit of this is that at any point the CC can check in and see our work. This is very important. Finally, it is desperately important to leave a paper trail for all the newer members, with design directions.
