Re: [ubuntu-art] Wallpapers in 11.10
Hi Ross Sorry to hear you're unhappy. I wasn't trying to come over as a troll and I don't think Martin was either. The wallpaper we were looking at was very clearly not an original work and the Ubuntu elements included weren't the up to date ones so I think it's fair to say that back and Martin's suggestion that we don't include these materials may well give the assets a longer shelf life. We're all working hard to get Ubuntu into the hands of as many people as possible and part of what I focus on with the designers here at Canonical is ensuring that use of our brand elements is consistent so that wherever someone comes across Ubuntu they know that what they're looking at is related to the core project - an incredibly powerful, free and open-source operating system. We can't go back and update old content but we can make sure that what we create now uses the proper assets as a starting point. That doesn't mean that we can't play with the assets but we should all start with the proper up to date materials. Iain On 07/07/11 08:44, ross richards wrote: Urgh, this is such a troll..

Re: [ubuntu-art] Wallpapers in 11.10
Hey all We'll welcome non photographic wallpapers just like we did in the last release although I'm not convinced that the Prateek's example is the way to go, not least because it doesn't feature the proper Circle of friends or logo type but also because it's adorned with Adidas logos and was clearly created as part of another campaign :) A wallpaper should try to be clean, simple and elegant. Someone's going to look at it for a long time. If no one's going to step forward then I'll happily run the process again. Let me know and we can get a blog post out this week to kick things off!

John... Great idea pal, i for one am so new to all of this, i don't know how many passwords i have made and how many pages i have visited, then the legal restrictions on pic size too.. If we can't fully show the quality of work on offer, at this stage then it's kinda off putting thinking no one is gonna' see my 23 hours of non stop attention to detail. I will quite freely submit any pics to be adapted, used, or even changed greatly, by anyone but to be bounced at this stage probably is my fault, but the situation needs cleared up.. For us virgins!

I'd like to seccond that, though traditionally dual display also comes as 2* 1280*1024, so something to fit that would be good.

In the end it comes down to how much space is on the CDs, something that is beyond our control. If possible perhaps we could add a package but I think we would have to be pretty convincing :-) What I mean is to have the package on the CD consist only of the current wallpaper (and maybe make it theme too), but have an updated version of the package flagged automatically in synaptic so as soon as any updates are done it updates to the 'full' version (which would have all the new stuff). I am not sure the specifics of the package manager so I don't know how it would be done (or even if it's practical) but it shouldn't take any more space than it already does. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Wallpapers
Thank you for the comprehensive answer Damian. I have used dark themes in Ubuntu and think that they are not appropriate either. I agree that some dark accents may greatly improve the usability, though. Here you can see some shots from my Ubuntu: http://dilomo.blogspot.com/ By the way when will be the official guidelines released? We don't know what to do and our will to create something will soon disappears. - Original Message - From: Damian Vila [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion on Ubuntu artwork ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 3:52 AM Subject: Re: [ubuntu-art] Wallpapers Hi Anton, Of course, I'm glad to share the way I work. It will be lengthy, I must warn you. :-) First of all a disclaimer: excuse me, because re-reading my previous mail I think that my translation of the phrase you are mentioning, wich I'm glad to answer, didn't sound in English as I intended in Spanish. It looks like I can do people like my work at will, something any designer knows is impossible. What I wanted to say is that I usually analize what happens to my designs afterwards and try to identify why they have worked or not. Something that I was taught to do in college by my professors. Having some kind of feedback about your work is as important as knowing your audience beforehand. My teachers insisted in this kind of behavior. They always told us that we had some kind of responsibility for the messages we were helping spread, so it was important for us to know if it reached the audience as intended or not. So, as I said, I'm glad to explain why I believe my work was supported by so many people, something that gladly surprised me, but that has a reasonable explanation. - The first step in creating the Animal series was observing. As you may see in my profile at the Ubuntu forums, I registered some time ago, but I have not posted a lot of messages. I spend a lot of time observing, lurking if you want, before taking part in something, or collaborating in a community. One of the mistakes some designers make at the beggining of a project is being too impulsive about it. I tend to be passionate about my work, so sometimes I restrain from sending something before I have some decent knowledge of the community (or the job at hand) and its dynamics. And specially, before knowing what is expected. Most of the times, this knowledge really helps. I believe the best place to know what the Ubuntu user wants is to have a look at the forums. The regular user don't read specific mailing list, or enters specific channels at IRC. They express what they want in forums or blogs. So I read a lot about what people wanted in the forums before sending something. - The second step was getting an idea, something to start with. This was prety easy with Ubuntu. It's african roots are very inspiring. The sense of freedom from the FLOSS movement had to be reflected also. I'm the kind of person that finds inspiration everywhere. So, It was clear at the beginning that it should be african inspired. I also try to isolate myself from trendy design sites around the time I start working on something. Some people like to look those kind of sites for inspiration. I don't need that and feel those sites contaminate my work. But this is just a personal choice. So, my first idea was to look for images that could inspire me. I got to this picture: http://flickr.com/photos/evmurdock/84671834/in/set-1808168/ As a wallpapers it was rather obvious and not very suitable, but it gave me enough inspiration to start with. - The third step was to see previous artwork and try to understund its rules. And also document myself a lot about the subject. It was clear that all the previous artwork had a similar palette. So, sending something in greens or blues was out of the question. I also read the wiki, so, I had enough elements to start playing around. It had to be brown, with a touch of yellows, oranges, etc. Earthy was what came to my mind. So, by mere association I came to the idea of the animals. It started with african, and then freedom, plains, animals, and then, specifically to lions and elephants. I added more animals, to see wich ones gave the best results. I started my search of animal pictures. I found lots. So I tried several approaches. - The fourth step was to apply what I know to the ideas I had. I know that, by Fitts' law, the edges (and specially corners) of the desktop are the most useful places, so because of that people tend to leave icons near the edges (gestaltic associations takes a role, also). It's not a fixed rule, but it helps to start taking decisions.

A good picture is something nice to see, but not to have as a background as you try to do your job. It was clear to me that a texture was going to work best. So, so far I had: - African animals (Lions, elephants, giraffes, etc.) - Texture with few distracting elements - Earthy tones - Dark edges So, I started to make the wallpapers.
