Hello fellow artists,
Today officially marks the end of the Propose phase, but I'm going to
extend the phase by three days to get some more sketch-like
submissions in. I've been working on sketches for the usplash and GDM
theme myself and I added them to these two Wiki pages, please take a
look:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/GDMProposal
It's unfortunate that I only recently had the time to get these
sketches drawn, because they highlight what the Propose phase is
about: coming up with compositional ideas. The good thing however is
that we can create some sketches based on all submissions until now,
just take a pencil and draw the idea without any details. Of course,
you can use a computer program, but keep your submissions light on
details and only use grayscale.
While sketching the usplash and the GDM theme I found that it's
really easy to come up with derivative and new ideas, because you
don't have to put in a lot of time polishing pixels. For the
wallpaper, I find it's quite difficult to make sketches that properly
convey the idea, so maybe that's something we'll work out as new
submissions roll in. For the login splash, Troy already created some
nice sketch-like proposals on the Wiki, but more is better of course.
So, to summarize: let's make a final sprint and focus on getting some
ideas instead of pixels. I'm sure we'll have expanded the amount of
sketches by the end of the weekend. Thanks for everyone's ongoing
efforts and dedication!
With kind regards,
Frank Schoep
