1.24.1 Goals

ee1f37
aaf678

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

aaf678

ee1f37
    aaf678
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

    1.24.2 Description

    aaf678
    aaf678

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    aaf678
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    aaf678
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    aaf678

    aaf678

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    aaf678
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    aaf678
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    aaf678
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    aaf678

    aaf678
    aaf678
    <samp>`TreeFlower'</samp>
    aaf678

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

    aaf678
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    aaf678
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    aaf678
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    aaf678
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    aaf678
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    aaf678
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    aaf678
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    aaf678
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    aaf678
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    aaf678

    aaf678

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

    aaf678
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    aaf678
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    aaf678
    organize your graphic design projects.
    aaf678

    aaf678

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

    aaf678
    use the centos-art command line in the
    aaf678
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    aaf678

    aaf678
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    aaf678
    aaf678

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    aaf678
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    aaf678
    illustrated in the following figure:
    aaf678

    1.24.3 Usage

    aaf678
    aaf678

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    aaf678
    recommendations:
    ee1f37

    ee1f37
      aaf678
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • aaf678
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      aaf678
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      aaf678
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      aaf678
      aaf678
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • aaf678
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      aaf678
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      aaf678
      aaf678
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • aaf678
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      aaf678
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      ee1f37
      aaf678
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • ee1f37
      aaf678
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • aaf678
      aaf678
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • aaf678
      design area and document metadata):
      ee1f37
      ee1f37
        aaf678
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • aaf678
        aaf678
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
