I fully intend to have input into this process, but it has all come at the most unfortunate time - I am moving out of my current house back home before next term at uni and I have been without my PC for neraly two weeks, my only net access is at work where I am franticly trying to train new people and finish off my project! When I get back home (two days) I will see you both on IRC :)
I will try and give some constructive criticism on the new artwork here quickly - obviously I hasve only viewed it, not _used_ it...: I find it too dark, I think the direction we wandered in during the development with more reds, caramels and oranges gave more professional, attractive results. Brown is much less forgiving because people will quickly make negative connections if the art is not _perfectly_ conveying what we want it to. I find the texture/mottled look offputting - I like things to be 'milky' and 'smooth' like the Lsplash and GDM mocks I put up that are swirly (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/Incoming/WhoGDM) I think the logo could be glasserised better - I am interested in seeing what the glassy logo I have been working on during Edgy releease cycle will look like on that work. Does that help at all? I'll be doing more work soon, Who On 9/12/06, Michiel Sikma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Op 12-sep-2006, om 10:35 heeft Mark Shuttleworth het volgende > geschreven: > > > Both good pointers.
