[ubuntu-art] Flyers and Posters
Hi! For those interested in posters, flyers, brochures and such, have a look at: http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/ Consider to improve an existing piece or work. You could get into contact wit a Local Team to get to know the needs and opportunities for marketing material that will be put to use. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams This should be suited for teamwork, as the task can be split up into, for example: - planning - copy-writing - illustration - layout Get visual identity guidelines and assets at: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Wallpapers
Hi! We have some guidelines for wallpapers at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds/ You can also find templates for Inkscape and GIMP there, for working at a recommended 2560 x 1600 pixel size and keeping the most common aspect ratios in mind. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Wallpapers
Minor edit by me on this page; rearranged table by decreasing size in relation to aspect ratio. Also added the new mac monitor ratio. -- Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Just acceptable for documentation, but not suitable for managing artwork. The Design Hub which is available from Live Gnome ( http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/Whiteboard/DesignHub ) looks interesting but may require additional development work.

Hi Dea, You do *not* have to worry about packaging. Not many here know that either. Afaik, Andrew SB has been the only one helping with packaging side for the community themes. We can try to get more packagers involved too. A few MOTU folk[packagers] have shown interest in helping too. This team just needs to be interested in doing artwork.. So, Just have fun doing art, let others worry about the packaging. :) What would I like to work on? That's simple, packaging. Back when I first joined the artwork list, it was because I saw a lot of great work going on that was blocked by the fact that there was no one on the team that actually had upload rights to the archive. I wanted to help remove that barrier by taking on the packaging work. Unfortunately, while helping remove that barrier, I've kind of fallen into the role of gatekeeper, at least in regards to the community-themes package. What would I not like to be doing? Also simple, being the sole decision maker for what goes into the community-themes package or other community artwork efforts. I'm not comfortable with my position as the de facto arbiter of what goes in or not. I'm not really an artist myself, and I'd rather not be making aesthetic decisions by myself. When I stepped up back in jaunty to take care of the packaging, I imagined my role as simply packaging the choices made by the community/team not making the decisions by myself. - Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Andrew, +1 - The desire of most GTK theme developers is to develop for a the greater Gnome community but my preference for this team is to develop specifically for Ubuntu. My vision is new themes judged to be acceptable ( published criteria ) are placed in the community-themes package with some moving into default. IMO if the theme isn't current with improvements to the current cycle it should not be in default. IMO if this is not agreed then there is no reason to continue with the community themes effort. Developers can post their themes to Gnome-look ( and others ) and Canonical can pick from that pool or develop internally. IMO community themes has a lot of potential and I believe unique to the Ubuntu community. I can start putting some ideas together on the Wiki but I can't go it alone and would want input including participation from the Canonical design team.
