Will send more updates with screenshots. Also, the mascot and logo is still left (I promised to deliver that sometime back) I am waiting for OCAL infra to be up so I can get some more ideas. In the meantime, send ideas for the same. I have thought for something like this [1] or [2] but with a fedora logo - Its a cliché but still would look cool on a tee (if we plan to have one someday) :) [1] http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Superman2.jpg [2] http://www.artizans.com/images/previews/KIE258.pvw.jpg Suchakra

Design for Ask Fedora
by Suchakra 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Dear Team, We all must be aware by now, of the release of Ask Fedora [1]. Its picking up pace and we need good design/artwork otherwise it can lead to negative publicity. Akbot seems to be working fine in terms of functionality and we just need good skinning/logo for the time being. I made some changes to the css (colour changes etc sometime back) which is just a temporary job. We even have a skin code repo from some Ubuntu guys who tried to do something similar for Askbot (Rahul has the links I think) It can be used as a reference. There are some other examples of good skins for Askbot which maybe he can share on this thread too so we can got going. I can start working on some mascot/logo - some remixed job from OCAL I think ;) There's a ticket already open [2] and some discussion already went through. Please help in adding beauty to this effort. Thanks :) [1] http://ask.fedoraproject.org [2] https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/199 Suchakra

F17 Artwork -- Schedule, Management, etc.
by Martin Sourada 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hi all, we're running short of time and no-one seems to be actually doing anything so I went ahead and nominated myself for the F17 artwork management ;-). I prepared the needed wiki infrastructure [1], postponed supplemental wallpapers for f18 (but opened the submission period already), and drafted a schedule [2]. Interested artists and other people: ------------------------------------ please review the schedule and send me your comments. Unless there are serious issues with it, I'll remove the draft message next Monday (2011/11/28). If there are any suggestions to the infrastructure, please let me hear them. Also, as we're running short of time, if you are interested in participating in creating Beefy Miracle artwork, start submitting your concepts, sketches, etc. ASAP. If you want to communicate your ideas with a couple of people in real-time, you can use #fedora-design channel on irc.freenode.net. The chat there is informal, but you can usually catch some of the fedora design team people idling there. For more general discussions, please use this mailing list directly or suggest a formal (logged) irc meeting. As for the form of your concept submissions: * start working on the concept on the artboard [3], please think about a name for the concept and tag it with (at least) two tags: 'f17' and 'concept-name' (where concept-name stands for the actual name of the concept). It's to easily find, comment and share the work. * Once you think you have a representative image for the concept, please upload it to the wiki submission page [4]. Add there the name of the concept, description of the concept (basic idea behind the concept) and link to the artboard tag containing the other images. This is for easily identifying concepts that are 'competing' for the F17 artwork. You have less than month for the initial brainstorming and sketching phase, so please hurry up! Also, it would really help if some people could advertise -- blog posting, messsages on social networks, whatever; to get as much attention from interested artists as possible. Also, bear in mind that even if the starting phase might look like one, this is not a competition, it's cooperation, so please don't bear grudges, etc. if your concept isn't selected and help with the selected one instead. :-) Also, since I have rather too little spare time, if anyone would volunteer to co-manage, it would really help. The work is basically keeping the wiki pages up to date, reminding people of deadlines (so that they know how much time they still have), and packaging the wallpapers when the images are prepared. Thank you for your attention, Martin Sourada References: [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F17_Artwork [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F17_Artwork/Schedule [3] http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/ [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F17_Artwork/Submissions/Wallpaper_Concept

Retiring my gimp repository
by Luya Tshimbalanga 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Now that Nils, Gimp maintainer, created Gimp Unstable repository[1], there is no more reason to duplicate that effort. Without fanfare, I decide to retire my own version[2] thus delete the repo. Thank you all for using my package. That was a good experience as package maintainer.

Re: [Design-team] Experience, Introduction
by Brandy Courtade 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

I was a little confused about the process described, but it says to "introduce yourself to the list" so it seemed like this was the way to go. My professional design experience is rather limited, but I've spent my whole life honing my artistic skills, primarily in drawing, but I've done digital design as well and have used GIMP as well, in addition to basic HTML/CSS coding. I'm willing to learn and think this would be a great opportunity to be involved in the Fedora community, as I recently installed Fedora 16 onto my netbook.

New Kojiweb theme
by Ryan Lerch 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

As part of this ticket[1] in the fedora-design team, i have been working on a new theme for kojiweb. Sadly, I don't have a public-facing server where you can see the theme in action, so here are a few screenshots of it [2],[3],[4]. The source for the new theme is available here. [5] Thoughts and comments on the new theme are welcome! cheers, ryanlerch [1] - https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/204 [2] - http://fedorapeople.org/~ryanlerch/kojiweb-screenshots/summary.png [3] - http://fedorapeople.org/~ryanlerch/kojiweb-screenshots/package.png [4] - http://fedorapeople.org/~ryanlerch/kojiweb-screenshots/tasks.png [5] - http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=ryanlerch/public_git/koji-theme-fedora.git…

F16 screenshot for www.fpo banner / slideshow
by Máirín Duffy 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi, Elad mentioned we needed an fancypants F16 screenshot for the first banner on www.fpo. Here's what I came up with; it's pretty steampunky but hopefully fits in with the page. I tried to use color selections from the background and the rest of the page to make it fit. Attached is also a preview of how it looks in page. Let me know what you think. ~m

F17 Artwork
by Martin Sourada 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi all, I started preparing the needed wiki infra for F17 artwork. Name is already done, F16 is behind the doors so we should start working on it, right? However, there were some changes recently to what is needed and to our workflow, so I'd like to first check how we'd like to manage Beefy Miracle's artwork and what will be done. So first, I suppose we'd be doing: * Default Wallpaper: - Split into concept phase, alpha phase, beta phase and final phase. - Will we use wiki or artboard? * Supplemental Wallpapers: - Will we keep the [unintentional] every-even-release selection, or will we try to make the selection for each release? * Banners: - Alpha release; - Beta release; - counter; - Final release; - Screenshot tour or whatever is put on our front page after release? * CD/DVD Sleeves; * posters: - Does it make sense to include release party and other related marketing material on release artwork wiki page? * Banners and splashes: - I suppose all of the should be general now, right? Are they finished and looking nice? - What do we use for plymouth? Is it synced with KDE splash look? - What about DM themes? KDM is themed generally, only with BG picture to change, or does it carry some theme specific theme still? - It would be probably good idea to review the boot sequence of our desktop spins (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE) if the splashes and themes shown are consistent, release independent and at most carry a release specific wallpaper as background. Anything else? Anything wrong? And of course for all artists: start working on your concept submissions! ;-) Cheers, Martin
