We are quite proud that our graphics *for* Fedora are made *with*

deny your choice.


And even if GIMP can open .psd files, it *may* not be 100% accurate, so 
using .xcf is better for collaboration with the rest of the team.

I tried it agains a black background and it seems OK to me.

I've posted on the wiki (see below for the url) two new versions of both
files, with a little kerning of 11 number and the remotion of green arrow
(and bigger fonts for the bottom text).

In these versions, rounded corners seems to be ok, if you see newly some

 bottom text row seems a bit crammed, the green
 arrow is small and does not have enough space to breath.

Thanks for posting them to the wiki! These both look great! I definitely agree 
with everyone else though that #2 is probably the best.

It still looks like your bottom row of text could be a bit tighter. The first 
'F' and the last 'w' look like they are gasping for air from the corners. I 
think the top row of text could be kerned just slightly tighter as well. Also, 
I think it might be better to push the '11' to the left a little to add a 
little balance from the temple.

Other than that, this is fantastic. Thank you for being so great about being on 
top of the web banners!! This is extremely good work; you've followed our 
general banner format / font / etc to a T.

Cool thanks for the link. Most of the designs I do are in Illustrator so
that they are in vector format. I can convert it to (almost) any format you
need though. I have done a very small amount of print but not enough to
really work with it. Usually when I have an idea about a design in my head
i'll look up some tutorials and mix and match a little from those. I am
pretty good with icons and have some knowledge with Flash animation as well.

Re: Banners and splashes


Paul W. Frields wrote:

Hi all you fabulous Artists and Designers,

I wanted to ask about two things, backgrounds and other art.

BACKGROUNDS:

I noticed that Martin produced a package of the leonidas-backgrounds,
and F10 users can test it now if they want:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/leonidas-backgrounds/10.92.1/2.fc11/noarch/leonidas-backgrounds-10.92.1-2.fc11.noarch.rpm

I've tried it here on my F10 box and the package works perfectly.
(And frankly, I think it's quite lovely, although I have a bit of a
problem making out my blue-themed folder icons against the color of
the sky sometimes.)  Has anyone had a chance to announce this to
whatever population we want to test the backgrounds and report back?
Do they know what kind of feedback the Artwork team is looking for?


I definitely mentioned it on FWN and also Martin blogged (so it was
pushed to planet)


OTHER ART:

According to the F11 schedule:
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-art-tasks

...splashes and banners are something the Artwork team creates from
now until about March 27, two weeks or so from tomorrow.  Then they're
packaged by March 31, so that they can be tagged and included in the
Preview Release.

The listed splashes, headers and other art scheduled for March 27
includes:

* GNOME splash screen


Lately we didn't bother with this as it is disabled by default, but I
believe in the end someone made an image.


* KDE splash screen


For the last releases the guys from the KDE got involved with that and a
splash was produced.


* GNOME screensaver lock dialog


Another one disabled by default. Even more, it is on its way to
obsolence, it will be replaced by the GDM screen (however, I can't say
when, the Desktop guys are not very talkative about that).


* Fullscreen splash for syslinux
* Square splash for anaconda and firstboot
* Anaconda horizontal header
* Firstboot vertical header
* Fullscreen grub splash


Usually those are derived from the wallpaper, so we will probably
address them after the wallpaper is in a final state.

Since we are still stuck with GRUB 1.x. the GRUB splash will be probably
the hardest, needing an original (symplified) graphic.


* Plymouth bootup/loading graphics


This area is poorly documented (is very new) but we have an expert in
Charlie Brej. My personal option would be to use the default background
(the temple landscape picture) and a progress bar.


* kdm login screen theme


Agian, the KDE guys will most likely take the initiative here.


Is the listed date of March 27 enough time to produce these various
derivations?


Is doable but we should not let it for the last few days.

If you work in Illustrator, please do not sent the files in .ai format. 
Inkscape can import such files, but the import is far from perfect.
You can use SVG, which is a Free format, but please take care to create 
clean SVG (in my experience, the SVGs exported from Illustrator are very 
bloated and sometime include embedded bitmpas).

Please, no Flash animations, we don't have tools in Fedora to edit them

Re: theme song

2009-03-13 Thread Subodh


Konstantinos, Nicu,

Hello there. Yes I am already almost done with a new sound theme which I 
am soon gonna upload at the people.fedora space. Get ready to bump me 
with critics :) . I intentionally did not refer to any standard or base 
sound theme, as I wanted just to put in whatever I feel it should be 
like. And to an extent, with the local reviews it seems that the sound 
is a bit different from the regular themes. The start-up theme is 
important here because its like 50% of the whole theme. I am still 
working on it and in about a couple of weeks I think it should be ready 
if all the packaging and all goes well.

Back in August-September someone (Chris Norman) tried to come with a 
sound theme, which obviously for a first try was not that great and we 
were lousy with feedback and discouraged him.


From my experience, a new sound theme should be *really great* in 
order to surpass the opinion that we should stay with the upstream

  * Plymouth bootup/loading graphics


 This area is poorly documented (is very new) but we have an expert in
 Charlie Brej. My personal option would be to use the default background
 (the temple landscape picture) and a progress bar.


It could be good to add the animation of birds that flyies in the sky while
the progress bar is going...

 I've tried it here on my F10 box and the package works perfectly.
 (And frankly, I think it's quite lovely, although I have a bit of a
 problem making out my blue-themed folder icons against the color of
 the sky sometimes.)  Has anyone had a chance to announce this to
 whatever population we want to test the backgrounds and report back?
 Do they know what kind of feedback the Artwork team is looking for?

 I definitely mentioned it on FWN and also Martin blogged (so it was
 pushed to planet)

Excellent!

It would probably be good to also indicate what kind of feedback the
Artwork team wants.  Any specifics you're interested in, other than I
like it or I don't like it?

 OTHER ART:

 According to the F11 schedule:
 http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-art-tasks

 ...splashes and banners are something the Artwork team creates from
 now until about March 27, two weeks or so from tomorrow.  Then they're
 packaged by March 31, so that they can be tagged and included in the
 Preview Release.

 The listed splashes, headers and other art scheduled for March 27
 includes:

 * GNOME splash screen

 Lately we didn't bother with this as it is disabled by default, but I
 believe in the end someone made an image.

 * KDE splash screen

 For the last releases the guys from the KDE got involved with that and a
 splash was produced.

 * GNOME screensaver lock dialog

 Another one disabled by default. Even more, it is on its way to
 obsolence, it will be replaced by the GDM screen (however, I can't say
 when, the Desktop guys are not very talkative about that).

Right, this can probably be discontinued when that happens.  I think
there's a few Desktop guys lurking here, maybe they can let us know
their plans

 * Fullscreen splash for syslinux
 * Square splash for anaconda and firstboot
 * Anaconda horizontal header
 * Firstboot vertical header
 * Fullscreen grub splash

 Usually those are derived from the wallpaper, so we will probably
 address them after the wallpaper is in a final state.

Does this mean the dates, as they stand, should be changed to a later
target?  There's no reason for anyone like me to bother the team if
you guys really don't want to deal with these pieces until later in
the process.

If that's the case, setting a date would be a big help.  Do you guys
want to have these completed for absolute code freeze, for the Preview
Release?

 Since we are still stuck with GRUB 1.x. the GRUB splash will be probably
 the hardest, needing an original (symplified) graphic.

I'm betting the cloudy sky (with or without birds, depending on the number of
color gradients needed) would work OK...

 * Plymouth bootup/loading graphics

 Charlie Brej. My personal option would be to use the default background
 (the temple landscape picture) and a progress bar.

Charlie, maybe you could drop some wisdom here and/or on the wiki.
That would give more people a chance to learn how the stunning Solar
theme was produced for Plymouth.  Never fails to get a whistle or a
cool! out of someone who's seen it...

/me envisions birds flying, or clouds drifting over landscape...

 * kdm login screen theme

 Agian, the KDE guys will most likely take the initiative here.

Do we need anyone to notify them?  John and I can help, if so.

 Is the listed date of March 27 enough time to produce these various
 derivations?

 Is doable but we should not let it for the last few days.

Sure.  Head starts are good, which is why I wanted to bring it up, so
as not to surprise anyone late in the process!  :-)

I've been talking about this one with Mo and jreznik (the guy doing all
the artwork work for KDE) over IRC. Mo produced some sample graphics, I
don't remember the address though (I could find it in Rawhide, but I'm
currently in F10). Máirín, can you post the link here?

Mo thinks that something simpler would be better and I agree with her on
this one. The F10 Plymouth is over too flashy.
