If they are other Fedora contributors that can provide feedback from non-English speaking users (Mola, Martin, Nicu and others?), that will be really appreciated because it should cultural factors can be into play. I didn't run a pool or forum thread on our local language website, I only have impressions from the IRC channel. I hear complaints about the landscape photoshoping(gimping), is too obvious the different pieces were taken from various sources and put together. I also saw the opinion it looks like an image from the game Age of the Empires 1. But usually when seeing the change to the Lion, they usually shut up and are happy. But I take those with a grain of salt, people like a lot the F7 Flying High, which I consider bad. IMO, the most insightful opinion I saw about the Greek landscape came on #fedora-art from Diego, a Brazilian guy living these days in Greece and working on Transifex: but in Greece they almost don't have grass, so the green part of the bg was a bit out of context and that was a big Duh! for me, since I was one wanting for more and more green. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Post here some links and talk about your ideas. You can also watch the ongoing discussions and take initiative when seeing something interesting - at this point we are supposed to finish the artwork for the F11 release, from wallpaper to website banners and to media art.

Just shamelessly bumping John's post... Does anyone have thoughts on the following questions? I guess the others where trying to pass the burden of answering to Mo but she was busy at work. * Should there be a feedback period built into the F12 schedule? This release cycle was a bit unusual, as we didn't have multiple design concepts and rounds, we also didn't have blog posts about them, so the visibility somehow decreased. I don't think we need a feedback period, we need to get some graphics (concepts) as soon as possible to get feedback from the early stages. Is not useful if one week before the freeze we learn that everything is not good enough, we have to scrap it and restart. * How can we improve the schedule of dates for Artwork deliverables, so that they're more realistic or constructive? * What other changes should we make? For both of those questions I think the best thing is that after the Preview Release, when we do not have the pressure of the F11 graphics on us, stay down and talk about what we learned and how do we plan to work for F12, get back to 3 rounds and the competing concepts, try once more a single concept, link or not to the release name and so on. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Final artwork for F11
Hi all! As we are running out of time, I'd like to see if there's a progress with current artwork. As we're totally dependent on it for KDM theme, KSplash, backgrounds etc... I know, it was hard this time, last time change but... KDM theme has to be bug free as it's important to be able to login to desktop :) And there are lot of problems every time - it looks differently on different screens/x servers, problems with fonts, problems with logging and we really need lot of time to prepare it correctly. We appreciate your hard work but we really need it ASAP to work on it or we don't know if we can have it in F11. Otherwise we have to go with Solar theme... Any helping hand is worth one truck of gold :D What we need: - fullscreen background for KDM and splash, included in common backgrounds package - so maybe left part of leon theme? - some idea to make it good looking Thanks Jaroslav -- Jaroslav Řezník jrez...@redhat.com Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno Office: +420 532 294 275 Mobile: +420 731 455 332 Red Hat, Inc. http://cz.redhat.com/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: F11 Art Schedule
Hi John, Thank you thank you for the email - - Original Message From: John Poelstra poels...@redhat.com As a casual reader of the list I know some things are still in flux and have changed and in some ways that is expected and good. It seems that because the wallpaper was in beta you received feedback in time to change course. Maybe we should build a feedback period into the Fedora 12 schedule? I think maybe we should add several tasks on the schedule for explicitly blogging / otherwise announce (maybe via Fedora weekly news, any other ideas?) the current status of the artwork so it's known more widely than this list next time around. I supported changing to the new design even though it has affected the schedule. I wonder how we should handle this in the future - it has affected the schedule negatively. We really need high-quality work like Samuele's work and I'm quite grateful for it, but I do not want to make a past-the-deadline-bend-the-rules thing a habit. o_O Jon McCann had some good ideas about doing more outreach to artists/photographers in the future and maybe doing a contest to try to get more artwork flowing in that he had shared with me a few weeks back. I think this might be a good new approach to try for F12. We've learned in past releases that it helps to keep track of how things go (in reality) compared to the estimated schedule so that the estimated schedule for the next release is more realistic and achievable. With that in mind, looking at the splash screen tasks listed in the link below I thought it would be a good idea to record what their completion dates were ore when you estimate they will be complete: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-art-tasks.html (task numbers 10 to 21) Here's what I know, and I hope Samuele will keep us appraised of his status and plans as well. If we don't hear from him by Thursday, I will take this Friday (10 April) to try finish up everything on the list that needs finishing and I'll try to do it on the list and in IRC as much as possible to keep the commnunication open. If anybody has time on Friday to jump in and help out, by all means, let's do it. (And if there's no plymouth splash by Thursday morning I'll take some time on Thursday to mock that up for Charlie, hopefully that's enough time before he has to leave for his conference, let me know if not Charlie!) IMAGE LICENSE CONCERNS === First, I want to point out our source image license issues. I am not 100% confident that we're clear here because I'm not sure every image used is referenced and I am not sure about the attribution requirements of the authors involved, but here's my understanding so far: 1) Spray paint brushes: http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/freebies/free-hi-res-spraypaint-photoshop-brushes-set-one http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/freebies/free-hi-res-spraypaint-photoshop-brushes-set-two Fedora Legal cleared these as Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 so they should be OK. 2) Rust Texture: Luca cleared these with the author, see email here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-March/msg00192.html The author explicitly mentioned he did not require attribution. 3) Lion photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tambako/494118044/ CC Attribution so shoudl be okay I have two more questions about this topic: 1) Do we know how tambako and spoongraphics require that they be attributed to we can properly attribute them? I am not confident a mention to their works on our wiki would be sufficient. Perhaps a mention in the wallpaper package spec or in the XML file that stores the metadata about the image for display in the GNOME background dialog/capplet? How should we attribute these authors? 2) Are there any other sources here that aren't being referenced and that we need to clear? I admittedly have not cracked open the source files yet, and I'll be pretty disappointed to find additional graphics that have not been referenced. There is a different lion image in the anaconda graphics. Where did it come from? TASK LIST STATUS (John, I apologize these are different than your numbering scheme.) 1. Wallpaper Design - We have the basic design from Samuele in 1920x1600: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:King_1920x1200.jpg - We will need this iterated out into the various standard, 4:3, and widescreen formats. Dual-screen would be nice too. 2. Plymouth Splash - Charlie is waiting on Samuele for a design for this it appears? 3. GNOME splash - we have these designs and I will happily adapt them to fit with the lion: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/f11/mockups/splash/ 4. KDE splash - same as #3 above 5. full screen splash for syslinux - nothing yet 6. grub splash - nothing yet (not sure if this is on the task list) 7. gnome screensaver lock dialog - nothing yet 8. anaconda square splash - Samuele put some
