[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper Contest for 18.10

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper Submissions

[erich]

Hi everyone,

In preparation for Saturday's meeting in which we'll be voting on the
wallpaper submissions, I have created a wiki page so that we can all
see the submissions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/Cos
micWallpaperEntries.

As many of you know, the rules are posted at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ub
untuStudio/Artwork/UserShowcase

Please note that we had two disqualifications, those are numbers 34 and
35 on the page. The entries didn't use the Ubuntu font for the wordmark
typeface and as such cannot be included since they don't abide by the
Ubuntu Brand Guidelines.

Additionally, it seems as though the non-circled COF was used, but I'm
letting that slide since the rules weren't clear on that, especially
since our menus up through 18.04 still uses the older non-circled
version, and our new default wallpaper uses the non-circled version.

I'm worried about a couple of them (#12 & #26) that have patterns, as
these patterns don't scale well, but I'm hesitant to disqualify them
outright. I'd love to hear some feedback about this.

I'm also a little concerned about #11's use of the words "Open
Creation" since that's not really part of our brand even though it is
something we strive for. It seems as though the same picture was
submitted again as #13 which uses the official wordmark instead,
possibly as a resubmission but that wasn't clear since #11 wasn't
deleted from imgur.

Be prepared on Saturday to vote so we can whittle these down if
possible, to then take to public vote.

Thanks everyone!
Erich

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper

[eylul]

Thanks Len, Thomas, Erich and Set! :)

For Thomas's two comments, the icon WAS a bit off-centered. I must have
shifted it at some point, thank you for catching that. The color issue
is a bit trickier. There is actually a range of blue hues in there, and
that part is very intentional, opting for more depth (and clarity of the
icon without adding too much brightness contrast) over exact hue match.
I did however try to tone down the ultramarine tones down a little on
the new version, which will help with cohesiveness... hopefully? :D
Corrected version and extra screen background are linked below.

http://s.eyluldogruel.com/ubuntustudio/UbuntuStudio1804Corrected.jpg

http://s.eyluldogruel.com/ubuntustudio/UbuntuStudio1804_extrascreen.jpg

Set, I got your email just as I had uploaded these. :) They are not
seamless, but the goal was to make sure second screen could be on side,
bottom, or a different resolution and still work. I can try to make a
seamless version through if we need that too.

I do need to step out for next few hours but I will finish these with
any last corrections. I might need some help uploading (as I haven't
done it before but would like to as it is an easy case to learn it) but
will try to get that done later tonight (late night EU timezone) :)

Best

Nice!

On a side-note regarding double screen (if understand it correctly): if you 
made it seamless that wouldn't be a problem and it would fit any screen or

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper

[Thomas Pfundt]

I think it's really pretty. I just set it up on my last 18.04 installation from 
the beta-tests and it does fit well in my opinion.

[screenshot_2018-04-12_001.jpg]

I actually planned to work on a second one myself as well, but haven't had the 
time yet to really commit to it or any good idea, either.

I'd give this a go, maybe just that the logo is not completely centred and I'm 
not entirely sure, but I think the tone of blue in the background is a little 
different from the system palette. I just quickly checked it back with the 
US-logo and the hue of the logo (#009BF9) seems to be going around -8 to -10 
more towards teal, rather than deep blue. I think it could look even better, if 
it's uniform with the rest of the system, but that's criticism on a very high 
level. So, good job!--

No, I think we should work on a new one. I've submitted a very simple
one as an example of where we could go. And, we should focus on a
unified design for 16.04, where the wallpaper is one part of it. Doesn't
need to be very advanced, but it needs to look good and feel right for
us.

I don't know how to help here, yet, but i sure am interested in the
process. Please include me in the process if there is time and space for
that.

I'm not against it if its do-able. :) It sure would be good for morale

Good point! Perhaps its too late for this cycle? But a sort of... "sound

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper Packaging Help Request

[C. F. Howlett]

Greetings Art Team et al:

CALL TO ACTION:

As you may recall, Set and I have been coordinating the Xenial Xerus
Wallpaper Contest.  Voting begins 02/11/16 and concludes 02/15/16 with
final results publicized 02/18/16, i.e. Feature Freeze.

There are many moving pieces that must be correctly aligned to package
and submit the wallpapers before the impending Feature Freeze deadline. 
I have no experience and little time to get up to speed with Ubuntu
packaging, so I request assistance to pre-stage and prepare.  Ideally,
we can "simply" drop in the documenation and source wallpapers to create
a completed .deb package.

As I understand it, the 14 pre-existing wallpapers should already be
fully documented and sourced.  The incoming wallpapers must be
documented, sourced and packaged in advance of Feature Freeze.  (Please
forgive the tight timeframe - inspiration for this effort came upon me
without regard to the release schedule.)  I believe I am up to
documenting the wallpapers if someone can guide me but it would probably
be best if I hand the information off to an experienced packager!  

NOTE:  

The Art Team must select a default wallpaper!  If I may be pre-emptive,
I heartily nominate Hotwheel from Li Hua Liu of the Ubuntu-Kylin team.  
It's hot!  It's cool!  It's distinctive!  It's creative!  It's Ubuntu
Studio!  See for yourself: h t t p s ://flic.kr/p/CMaK5W

PROPOSAL:

Package all wallpapers that are not selected.  This gives all the
contributors a "win" and I have seen other *buntus do this.  Perhaps
something like "UbuntuStudioXXCommunityWallpapers"?

HUMBLEBRAG:

The Ubuntu 16.04 Free Culture Showcase launched on 12/16/15.  At the
moment, this group has 26 entries.  The Ubuntu Studio 16.04 Wallpaper
Contest launched 01/09/16 and has 69 entries as of this writing.  The
level of user interest in our comparatively obscure Ubuntu derivative
suggests that there is a receptive audience.  I submit that we can and
should find more ways to leverage this interest to raise awareness of
Ubuntu Studio.  

Thank you to Set, Kaj, and all others, named and unnamed, who have
helped out with this project!

I just had a poke around in the ubuntustudio-look package to see how Kaj
managed this last time, and I think I should be able to start packaging
the wallpapers straight away.

For practicalities, we need a way to drop the files into the appropriate
place in the package, and then I need a list of the files and their
creator for copyright/crediting.

As soon as we have the winner, I can set it as the default in the
package and get it uploaded.

Hotwheel is definitely one of my favourites as well!

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper Contest PR

[C. F. Howlett]

I completely agree with Kaj.  My access to social media is virtually
nill and will remain so until at least next week.  I understand that Set
has been actively bouncing our message out on social media outlets.  I
have directed messages to the relevant mailing lists and /subreddits.

So far, this seems to be working.  We have much more User Contributed
Content on our Flickr page than even the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase so
we must be doing something right!

The text logos don't seem right though. Zak updated those by removing
some space in between letters and making the "studio" part a bit fatter.
The ones you have there are the old, original version.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper contest

[C. F. Howlett]

Yeah about that:

I have looked at the art work produced for the other derivatives, and I 
admit to a great deal of envy for ubuntukylin's design and prodigious 
output.


I am unconvinced that we are fully obligated to comply with Canonical 
Design requirements sole exception being logo use.  As it happens, I 
have the *official* ubuntustudio logos released by Ubuntu Design.  I 
would like to upload them to the bzr site, but I have yet to figure out 
the method.


As regards the photography rules, I suggest that as a dedicated OS for 
*art creation*, we have a wide discretion and latitude. I am not 
suggesting a photographic free-for-all, but I submit that imposing 
restraining rules on creative output is somewhat contradictory.


So: questions.  Do we / should we have a wiki page?  We have had a 
community art page in the past, but it seems to be defunct.  Should we 
resurrect it?

Hi,

I tried to reach out to design.canonical and design.ubuntu, but i get no
answer. I think we should rip the other contests guide-lines off.

Anyways, all relevant information we need is here:
http://design.canonical.com/
and here:
http://design.ubuntu.com/

We just need to adapt it to our own colors and CoF:)

I cleaned up the ubuntustudio-artwork branch, so make sure you cd into
your local ubuntustudio-artwork branch and do:
bzr pull (i think it is enough...?)

And let me know if something is wrong or a bad idea:)

Looking forward to read you,
-- Set Sakrecoer

I'm not sure about the logo, if you are referring to the Circle of
Friends. We have our own design, for sure, though it is derived from
Ubuntu.
Also, the name Ubuntu Studio I think is a trademark of Canonical. At
least the "Ubuntu" part is.
In some way, all of what we do is derived from the same base: Ubuntu. I
would say, as long as we don't do anything stupid, I'm sure we'll be
fine.

Before making any changes to the branch, make sure you have got the
latest changes first with the command:
  bzr pull :parent

To add anything to the bzr branch, add the files to the folder like you
normally would. Then, from the command line add all new files with
(don't forget the punctation mark):
  bzr add .

To commit your changes, do (add your own description):
  bzr commit -m "describe your change here"

Then, upload:
  bzr push :parent

Feel free to create a new page or change an existing one if that makes
sense. Use the root https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork, i.e.
something like UbuntuStudio/Artwork/UserContributed. Put a link to the
art sidebar so everyone can find it easily.

As it so happens, there is a page exactly like that, but you may want to
start a new one, or reorganize the existing one. You can find it here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/UserContributed

These pages are not among the sidebar links
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryUbuntuStudioArtwork.

Also, there may be more artwork related pages here, if you want to take
a look: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/SubPages

It may make more sense to just ship a set of backdrops with all possible 
permutations and choose the right one to install or link to. The nice 
thing about creating a backdrop on the fly though, is that the DE logo 
could be included somewhere as well. For example the centre could have the 
Studio logo merged with the Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Lubuntu or whatever 
logo.

Ubuntu design requirements I am not so sure about. I the past we have 
varried in some ways. But the last few backdrops, at least the default 
ones, have tried to be both nice and _unobtrusive_. That is there has been 
a feeling that the backdrop should not get in the way of real work or be 
distracting in any way. Now that we have a few more people, more opinions 
on that could be voiced. On my personal machine I have replaced the 
backdrop with a picture of my son on the beach (in winter) on one screen 
and a large harbour tug on the other. Both pictures are quite busy but 
have not been a distraction to doing real work. I would suggest that any 
distracting will go away with use. That is a person will get used to 
almost anything in a very short time.


Of note in my use, I do not show any icons on my desktop as I find that 
operating method means I have to move windows to find the icons. Others 
may want a desktop that does not camouflage the icons.


The other feeling is that we would like Studio with the default backdrop 
to look "right" or "acceptable" in any bussiness setting. For example a 
store front portrait studio that takes family pictures. No one should feel 
they have to hide the backdrop while they are trying it out at their 
bussiness. I am sure any such place would replace the backdrop with their 
own logo anyway.


As regards the photography rules, I suggest that as a dedicated OS for *art 
creation*, we have a wide discretion and latitude. I am not suggesting a 
photographic free-for-all, but I submit that imposing restraining rules on 
creative output is somewhat contradictory.


I would agree with shipping a much wider variety than we do. I would also 
like to have backdrops that are only one workflow in content for those who 
are using Studio solely for photography for example.


I would love to see a back drop dedicated to each workflow so that a user 
can install Studio as a graphics station or a photography station and have 
it look dedicated to that workflow.


In fact it would be wonderful though 
probably not possible to set things up so that if the user only installed 
one workflow, that backdrop would show as default... Can we have a an 
install page right after the install choices page that allows the user to 
select "I will be using this as a  workstation." That selects 
the default backdrop and perhaps any system settings that apply to that 
workflow.


Please note, These are ideas and art is not my thing, so I am making these 
suggestions with the knowlage that I will not be supplying any backdrops. 
(I will not be doing the actual work)


Another thought just hit me, Can we divide the backdrop into sections with

backdrop... and someone to maintain it. It might mean shipping a graphics 
utility outside the graphics workflow as well. It might be outside the

So: questions.  Do we / should we have a wiki page?  We have had a community 
art page in the past, but it seems to be defunct.  Should we resurrect it?


A community art page is good to have. There have been people who are stuck 
on artwork from the past that they feel is just right and does not need to 
be changed. This would be a place they can choose other ideas.


And last but not least... anyone involved in art is likely to use their 
own backdrop to show off their talent rather than default.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper contest

[Ralf Mardorf]

Sometimes I use artwork as wallpaper, but often I'm using minimalist  
wallpapers, I wouldn't call "artwork", for Wily I made this very simple  
wallpaper:

http://picpaste.de/moonstudio_wallpaper_1.png (expires in 7 days)

Usually I don't add logos or signings to my self made wallpapers and I  
usually remove them if I use artwork/wallpapers made by others.


On my desktops usually are no icons, IOW usually I don't use a desktop at  
all, the workspaces are just backgrounds for the windows.
