Re: [ubuntu-art] [Breathe] start-here ... Submission

2009-03-01 Thread Oliver Scholtz
Many thanks up to Thorsten Wilms and his good tips :)
 Finally followed nearly all those tips. :)
You have many knowledge about this thematic, really.
Like your works very much. Hope they will allows you change a little bit
the colour-palette :D Keep up your good works ...

@ Cory K. you was right. Three colours ... no more :)



I can use in 32x32, 24x24 and (22x22) a good trick for make it more
button-like ... better said ... "sunken in the panel".
16x16 maybe with a outline ...

SVG-file error fixed :) ... and the finish touch given!

@ Cory K.:

Yes. I took the original Logo, corrected the errors of sizes + positions
and took the original colours + set them brighter and darker for get
more harmony.

Of course, you can download the SVG-file from the Submissons-Page and
recolouring it for your gust. :)

! The Highlights need to be adjusted with the background-colour ;) !


If the colour-problem (-thema) is solved I will start with scaling ...

I don't have much time lately. Plus, I'm working on some icons myself
(finishing the categories and some others).
About the black fields, try hiding the palette and instructions layers.

I don't know how your time is. I saw in your works that you have a good
feel for colours. So I ask you directly if want help me with the
colours? :) Maybe you have more knowledge about Inkscape and can fix the
error with the black fields, too. :) Can't find the error in this

But if you can't or don't wont ... let me know. So I will try it by

@ Cory K.:

The capture shows a Ubuntu-Logo in brown. I personally think that this
colour isn't right for many dark panels. It will have a dirty look.
But maybe I'm wrong, too?! Don't know ... :)
Only I know that many peoples dislike brown (forums).
So I hope Sebastian can help me with the colours and decide ... He knows
better what colours would fits better ... I think :)

I think the colors still need work. Otherwise the style is fine.

I over-worked the start-here-Icon completely.
For checking it I submitted all here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions

I think it's looking finally very well.
But if somebody think it needs here and there a retouch or
correction?!?? ... so he can feel free and put his hands over my
svg-file. ;)

One problem still I have ...
If I click on the SVG-Preview I get some black fields on the SVG-icon.
How to fix it? I can't find the error ... :(

Take care of elements that are smaller than 1 pixel, they often cause
bad rendering. In this case the white highlights.

The red circle is shaded like it receives strong white light in a dark
environment (I can almost imagine the halo effect). This doesn't fit
with the rest of it and would be a bad choice as it doesn't bring out
the colors.

I suggest you study how materials show variations in tone depending on
much light they receive. For red you might have to make the brightest
parts slightly orange.

I like it but I think, as Tibault mentioned, that the colors are too soft.
Also, keep in mind that you have to scale down the icon and you may lost
some details.

The colours are too soft, boosting the reds and yellows would probably be a
good start.
I did a quick example in Gimp: http://imgur.com/2ZDVQ

I also coloured the bottom "arms" red, something you forgot(?)

I took the original colors. :-? Honestly my only one handicap I have are

You can help me to fix the colors? I would appreciate a lot your

If Cory likes the colors ... I can do the scaling works.

I don't like the colors. They aren't official.

Look at it against the folder for instance. Just doesn't fit the same feel.
