Re: F11 wallpaper mockup proposal
I've a new proposal for you... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:F11-wallpaper-deepsky-mockup5.jpg The background photo was taken at Thermopylae, the place of historical battle with Leonidas and Spartans. Maybe It would be better a more stylized background...and what about for a spartan shield instead the helmet? An other idea can be a simple background, with a spartan shield as the main subject. It's a big rounded shield with a Lambda on front, the L greek letter. -- Paolo Leoni ~ http://pleoni.altervista.org ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: F11 wallpaper mockup proposal
I think is a bit too simplistic to go with a photo converted to grayscale and then colorized blue. Also, it was discussed a few weeks ago that we don't want to go with jut a ruin and send the wrong message about Fedora being a ruin. If we are going to use some ruins, they have to be accompanied by other elements, like growing vegetation and such. The license is fine (PD), but IMO the photo is not that great: it has very aggressive JPEG compression resulting in a very noisy background and the framing do not allow for wide screen cropping (we would have to cut from important parts of the image). Right...I'll go with an other stuff...thank you anyway for your feedbacks. -- Paolo Leoni ~ http://pleoni.altervista.org ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: F11 wallpaper mockup proposal
(sorry for all the top posting lately btw, it's the web client i have to use) I like the night version of the wallpaper though. I think the day one is too busy to be a good background. Maybe if the day one was desaturated a bit so it didn't have as much contrast? Either way, we could certainly include it as a wallpaper in the bundle that comes installed if we decide it's not Leonidas enough. It does have a nautical theme so I do think it would be appropriate, although we had already agreed some weeks ago we wanted to focus on the Greek and not the nautical aspects of Leonidas. ~m - Original Message From: Nicu Buculei nicu_fed...@nicubunu.ro To: Fedora Art List fedora-art-list@redhat.com Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 8:51:44 AM Subject: Re: F11 wallpaper mockup proposal Thomas Kole wrote: what about making one by yourselve?
