I'm attaching larger PNGs of the artwork so you can take a look. I think this design is clearly better compared with your old one which won the vote (I abstained from that vote as I din not liked enough any of the candidates and was not able to come myself with something better). In general, as a team I think we're making great progress - we've gotten community artwork into the distro for the first time which I think is a big step. To get better though, we need better organization. For the DVD/CD artwork, for example, I think we should have a single person as 'owner' to organize the work so there's less chaos/confusion and so it's done on time and in the right format. I think for all artwork maybe we could try to hold critiques/review sessions to hash out the issues before it's too late to use the artwork. I hope you are less frustrated with the way our project is going, take a more active leadership, kick our lazy asses and put us to work :D How long do we have until FC 7? ;-) Let's up it a notch for then! Yup, we should not wait the FC6 release, the after-release party and the after-party hangover and recovery to start working on FC7 graphics, we can do it right now. -- nicu Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Yes, anything of list is done, but I'm not sure if it is all. This is the list of specifications we have so far: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ThemingOverview My suggestion is to not get carried away and create a complete theme, do some sketches or mockups, present ideas to people, get feedback as early as possible, ask for help. Do not waste a lot of efforts without positive feedback from other people, we don't want you to get burned. Also keep in mind that whatever theme will end in FC7, it will be made into the final form by a *team* - see FC6 as an example: Mairin got the DNA metaphor, Mola the 3D rendering, Diana final polish and the rest of us feedback and after the theme got in the distro, the team started to produce derivative materials: Firefox start page, CD/DVD labels etc. Speaking of that, how about some DNA themed web banners and buttons? -- nicu Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Hi I believe duffy's version got the most votes.

Re: Official Fedora Core 6 media labels
Most definitely! M. Duffy´s proposal is way off with respect to the DNA theme look feel. I would have had no doubt voting for Diana´s proposal if I had been aware of the vote mentioned earlier .. I think the Diana Fong's one looks like more to the DNA theme and should be used. The duffy's one is good but it's more different then the Diana's one.

I'm also trying to figure out at what point in the release schedule should we work to have the artwork finalized formatted by for FC 7. Sounds like we should have things ready by 3 weeks before the release date - which I think indicates the following schedule: - 6 weeks before release date - artwork concept finalized - we choose which to go with and it is provided in vector (preferably SVG) format. - 3 weeks before release date - artwork formatted ready for printers. Based on the FC6 schedule those dates tenatively and quite roughly would be: - artwork concept finalized - mid-April - artwork formatted ready for printers - mid/early May ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Test 2 release - Artwork to be included in the distribution ready (themes/GDM/anaconda/firstboot/wallpaper/etc) Test 3 release - Media labels, splash artwork for the website/wiki, other ancillary artwork Is there enough time between two test releases, between concept finalization and theming work though?
