Well, keep in mind the pictures shown are proofs of concept, not
finished art.  Any "immaturity" you perceive is simply a result of the
artists wanting to get ideas out for study, as opposed to polished
backgrounds ready to go into the distribution as-is.

I think the collage idea is interesting, but probably visually
confusing in a distribution that's always had a very solid track
record of unified visual themes.

My Opinion on the Proposed F11 Pics

2009-02-18 Thread 1512purple
I think that the pictures given are too childish and stray too much from 
what Fedora should be perceived as.  In my opinion, the Fedora 
pictures/splash-screen should be a collage of all the past Fedora 
pictures/splash-screens to show its proud history and its long standing 
place in the Linux world.

Background

2009-02-18 Thread Paul W. Frields
Hi team,

I was looking at the F11 Artwork page on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_Artwork

...and wondering about (1) the group's progress in converging on a
background, and (2) what needs to happen, and when, for the background
to land in the F11 Beta.

The F11 Beta freeze arrives on March 10th, and it would be good to
have a background ready somewhat before that so there's time to tweak
it before the freeze.  As I understand it, once the desktop background
is decided, that will form the basis for the other theme pieces for
the Preview Release.

Thoughts, comments?

Use
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Upload

and set something descriptive for file name, preferably with context
prefixes (e.g. Wallpaper_universe_stars_hurren.png) to avoid possible
conflicts with other images.

Or you can put it on you fedorapeople.org space [1], if you have one.
