Export your submission as a “png” or “jpg”. I discovered Flickr displays icons uploaded as “jpg” better than “png”. I use GIMP to do the conversion. How does Flickr display JPG better than PNG? JPG is a terrible format for this kind of graphics. I moved the desired due date out to 12/01 to give everyone time to participate. I guess that means 1st of December, not 12th of January ;) -- 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] Free Culture Showcase Theme
Hi! A few of us had a session about the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase at UDS. Wiki page of the previous run: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase While results have been good to great for pictures and music, there has been a dearth of videos plus a tendency of them being focused on Ubuntu. This has been fine, but continuing this way might be seen as navel-gazing and propaganda by a growing and increasingly diverse audience. The showcase assets should wow the audience on their own, based on artistic merit. We would also prefer works created specifically targeting the showcase. For these reasons and because it's cool, we would like to have a common theme for the next round. Ideally one that can be seen as an expression of at least one of the virtues and goals of Free Software and Ubuntu, but that is a little more concrete. Got suggestions? Planned schedule: * Jan 3rd: Announcement, contest open * Feb 14th: contest closed * March 7th: Shortlist Complete * March 21th: Juding Complete We will collect submissions on sites like Flickr, Deviantart and Soundcloud like before and have sub leaders for each community. Ivanka will organise judging by professionals, for neutrality and high standards. This will improve the chances of being taken seriously and of receiving recognition by the outside world. There may be prizes and more attention will be payed to announcing the winners. We intend to do a web button/badge program, but theme and briefing come first. -- 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] Ubuntu Forums need design assistance
Hi Mike, Just resending this to the list because Yaili - who is on my team - didn't seem to get it! Does anyone know if there is any reason why we can't use the emoticons we use on the design blog? Also - adding Richard Lee who is our technical wiz!

The one I'm most concern with are: - statusicons: shows if something is a category, forum, or link on the front page of the forums. - button: the buttons on the bottom of posts. Currently on an #E9E9E9 background. WIll probably change, but just to a shade of grey to max the branding guidelines. -misc: miscellaneous icons - pagenation: same as button background wise -search results -siteicons -smilies: created some, have fun if you have ideas. ranks: created some, have fun if you have ideas.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Free Culture Showcase Theme
Got suggestions? Off the top of my head? Earth. Let me explain: earth as in that which supports humanity (the planet). But also earth as in the soil into which our roots grow. Anyways this might sound terrible when I get up in the morning but I did want to get the discussion rolling on this. I believe one of the ideas discussed at uds was the concept of an ocean. I am just expanding on that. -- Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
