 I turned the title bar on and removed the orange strip from the top. IMO the
 title bar means little to the typical Ubuntu user but I can live with it.

True, if you get to that page via Software Center or other direct link. 


 My desire is to add value to the user experience. I am trying to think about
 this page from a typical user perspective and I arrived here from either
 the Software Center or some other reference. The question being considered
 is should I install this package?

I'd like to see some level of separation between this audience-facing
page and the rest of our wiki pages that are all targeted at
designers/contributors.

If the link can be changed, it should be
Artwork/Packages/CommunityThemes or something along those lines.

 Hello all,

 I haven't received a response from anyone that would like to help out with
 this project.  I feel that this is a great opportunity for someone that is
 looking to expand their portfolio.  These are cycling jersey's that have the
 approval of the marketing team at Canonical.  There are several Canonical
 employees that plan to purchase these jersey's.

 If I don't get any help from the community, I'm going to have to raise
 money and hire a professional artist.  If you have an interest in this
 project, please let me know.

 Thank you,
 Trey

 Hello all!

 I'm riding in two charity bike rides this year.  One is for Multiple
 Sclerosis and the other is for Diabetes.  I've requested and received
 permission from Canonical to create custom jerseys for use on these rides.
  My team is going to be called Team Ubuntu.

 This is a chance for the community to show that we can roll with the best
 jerseys that we often see for companies like Microsoft, Red Hat, Cisco, and
 Nortel.  I'm am hoping that we can use some Ubuntu culture for the theme of
 the jersey.  Ubuntu has a unique mascot for each release.  My thought was
 that we would design a jersey that incorporated the mascots of our releases.
  The style of the Hardy Heron wallpaper was pretty popular and would
 probably look good on jerseys.  Here is a link to the wall paper I'm
 referring to: http://images.google.com/images?q=hardy+heron+wallpaper

 The jersey could include the current supported releases or we could try to
 incorporate them all.  The jersey isn't limited to a predefined set of
 colors, so we really have a lot of leeway in our design.

 Here is the list of mascots so you don't have to look them up:

 Lucid Lynx
 Karmic Koala
 Jaunty Jackalope
 Intrepid Ibex
 Hardy Heron
 Dapper Drake

 Gutsy Gibbon
 Feisty Fawn
 Edgy Eft
 Breezy Badger
 Hoary Hedgehog
 Warty Warthog

 I realize that there is a wiki page for Ubuntu Jerseys, but I feel that we
 want to push the boundaries more than these designs.  The jerseys appear to
 be limited by the number of colors that they can contain due to
 manufacturing limits.  Plus, they appear to just reuse a lot of logos and
 I'm hoping for something new and exciting.

 Here is a link to some designs that another cycling team in the Multiple
 Sclerosis ride received when they placed a bid on the crowdspring.comdesign 
 site.
 http://www.crowdspring.com/project/1283223_cycling-jersey-logo-vin/

 Check out the Ubuntu jerseys here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCyclists

 I've picked out a company to print our jerseys.  They require that the
 design be in the SVG format.  Here is a link to the templates that they
 recommend using when designing.

 Jersey template:
 http://champ-sys.com/media/SS%20Raglan%20Without%20Side%20Panel.pdf

 Shorts template:
 http://champ-sys.com/media/FullWrap%20U%20Panel%20MBI040.pdf

 They have some notes about the black areas of the templates.  The black
 area can be one of seven pre-dyed colors.  I recommend checking out the
 notes on the page.

 http://champ-sys.com/custom/cycling/formsandtemplates

 The Diabetes ride is in June and the Multiple Sclerosis ride is in
 September.  The manufacturing process takes 6 to 8 weeks, so we have some
 time to design.

 I look forward to hearing from the group.  This is an exciting opportunity
 for your artwork to be seen by thousands of participants in these events.
  Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information.

 Sincerely,
 Trey Ethridge

You'll find answers to all of your questions (hopefully!) here:

Mainly we use open source tools like Inkscape and Gimp. Naturally, you can use 
whatever tools you wish but not using an open format to save them in limits 
their usefulness.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Communty Themes Wiki Page

2010-04-12 Thread j_baer

I updated the wiki page with another mockup. This approach displays two
screen shots for each theme. I removed the comments to keep the page more
manageable.
