Hi tatica!

I really like the style of the vines but something about the wing of the bird bothers me. Somehow that doesn't look very anatomically correct.... You're definitely close though.

Is nice but position seems too childish. Please see this birds position. http://www.free-stockphotos.com/images/bird-silhouettes.jpg

oh yeah... I forgot the other wing... how was she/he supposed to fly? http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/F15/bird1-a.png now... I LOVE the way the both wings in the example are placed, should we add more movement to the birds?

Thank you , Maria for your trust... I do not want to be rude with the team . First , I have not participated in this task because I was very busy, but a little help never hurt.

So, I try search on internet . I found these images will help me in my explanations:

1.http://www.openclipart.org/image/800px/svg_to_png/flying-pelican.png see wing background, how is scaled

2.http://www.openclipart.org/image/800px/svg_to_png/Peileppe_crow_flying_up.pn... wings are not the same, the feeling of floating, movement

3.http://www.openclipart.org/people/LiquidSnake/1296077183.svg you separate wing feathers so they look like tubes, see image above wing

I would use something like this, but color and gradients 4.http://chen-san.deviantart.com/art/ATC-The-Birds-163795513?q=boost:popular%2...

I like very much this : http://fc06.deviantart.net/images2/i/2004/08/9/9/3_birds.jpg .

One great site is http://www.deviantart.com Will see good photos with birds , if you need that ...

Hola!! Don't worry Catalin, the birds issue is new to me and all help I can get is awesome :) I will use this images today(maybe 'till weekend) to see what I can get. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K-PIF9CySVw/S63nvfYlW8I/AAAAAAAABX0/R7iuuH-eX7c/s1... http://estaticos.20minutos.es/img/2009/06/19/973667.jpg?v=20090619124744 http://www.fotonatura.org/galerias/fotos/usr18016/12310115GB.jpg I really want to try something more realistic for this wallpaper using as base the Emichan ideas. I'm up to really push the F15 wallpaper into a surrealism trying to make something like F6, F8 or even F10 designs but based on vectors. I know is a challenge... but we need to try :)

See ya!

gradient for the sky is too fragmented, you have to make it smoother ...on the other hand, the forest makes a common wallpaper. ...trees seem too lined up if you want to use this kind then place a flock of birds, like : http://www.brianalvarez.tv/images/01182009/flock1.jpg another idea which I recommend, is to use Máirín image (has one with a hand and a wing) in the background, the wing is a marvel of nature and evolution and would be a shame to not see... ...a combination of these two images would give a sense of evolution http://pointcross.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/image002.jpg?w=207&h=158 and http://www.infovisual.info/02/img_en/057%20Wing%20of%20a%20bird.jpg This : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Mockingbird-stripes-3-tata_feb15.red.png it worked well but seems a sketch on notebook, but the wallpaper must have something stronger in graphic expression, something symbolic and powerful Here is another image that would work well in Inkscape (I did not use too often Inkscape) http://www.ohboyparrotfood.com/images/wing-clip-line.jpg Thank you for your attention.

I showed this to you yesterday Tatica, but I wanted to show everyone and make the source available:

http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora%20Release% 20Themes/F15/Alpha%20Development/bg.png

Source is:

http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora%20Release% 20Themes/F15/Alpha%20Development/tree-background.svg

I came up with this yesterday trying to come up with some ideas for a non-stripe background.

I'm working on this shape, which I think is better. I still need to work more with wings and mo is helping me to add the flur in he/her chest http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/F15/bird1-a-mock.png I have another mockup (not yet) of the mechanical bird; hopefully I will have something better to show during weekend.

the only idea I think we won't use from Catalin is this: http://www.brianalvarez.tv/images/01182009/flock1.jpg Since we will only use 2 birds AFAIK, even so... the explanation of the wings is awesome. I will work with it today and try to understand more about it. I have a friend who's kind of expert on birds, will invite him home this weekend so he can explain me a little more about it Quite a challenge people!!!!
