    2.36.1 Goals

    728c6d
    728c6d

    The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> directory exists to:

    728c6d

    728c6d
      728c6d
    • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

      2.36.2 Description

      728c6d
      728c6d

      The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

      728c6d
      provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
      728c6d
      all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
      728c6d

      728c6d

      Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

      728c6d
      the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
      728c6d
      Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
      728c6d
      anything, and art works don't escape from it.
      728c6d

      728c6d
      728c6d
      <samp>`TreeFlower'</samp>
      728c6d

      CentOS like trees, has roots, trunk, branches, leaves and flowers. Day

      728c6d
      by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
      728c6d
      open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
      728c6d

      728c6d
      <samp>`Modern'</samp>
      728c6d

      Modern, squares and circles flowing up.

      728c6d

      If you have new conceptual ideas for CentOS, then you can say that you

      728c6d
      want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
      728c6d
      artistic motif you need to create a directory under
      728c6d
      <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
      728c6d
      conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
      728c6d
      possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
      728c6d
      what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
      728c6d
      time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
      728c6d

      728c6d

      Once you have defined a name for your theme, you need to create the

      728c6d
      motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
      728c6d
      direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
      728c6d
      organize your graphic design projects.
      728c6d

      728c6d

      To add a new motif structure to CentOS Artwork Repository, you need to

      728c6d
      use the centos-art command line in the
      728c6d
      <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
      728c6d

      728c6d
       
      centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
      728c6d
      728c6d

      The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

      728c6d
      you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
      728c6d
      illustrated in the following figure:
      728c6d

      728c6d

      2.36.3 Usage

      728c6d
      728c6d

      When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

      728c6d
      recommendations:
      728c6d

      728c6d
        728c6d
      • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
      • 728c6d
        used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
        728c6d
        (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
        728c6d
        inspiration and concepts behind your work.
        728c6d
        728c6d
      • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
      • 728c6d
        store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
        728c6d
        you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
        728c6d
        728c6d
      • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
      • 728c6d
        color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
        728c6d
        information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
        728c6d
        728c6d
      • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
      • 728c6d
        728c6d
      • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
      • 728c6d
        728c6d
      • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
      • 728c6d
        design area and document metadata):
        728c6d
        728c6d
          728c6d
        • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
        • 728c6d
          728c6d
        • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
