    2.24.2 Description

    982d5c
    982d5c

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    982d5c
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    982d5c
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    982d5c

    982d5c

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    982d5c
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    982d5c
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    982d5c
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    982d5c

    982d5c

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

    982d5c
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    982d5c
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    982d5c
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    982d5c
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    982d5c
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    982d5c
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    982d5c
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    982d5c
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    982d5c
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    982d5c

    982d5c

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

    982d5c
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    982d5c
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    982d5c
    organize your graphic design projects.
    982d5c

    982d5c

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

    982d5c
    use the centos-art command line in the
    982d5c
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    982d5c

    982d5c
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    982d5c
    982d5c

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    982d5c
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    982d5c
    illustrated in the following figure:
    982d5c

    2.24.3 Usage

    982d5c
    982d5c

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    982d5c
    recommendations:
    ee1f37

    982d5c
      982d5c
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 982d5c
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      982d5c
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      982d5c
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      ee1f37
      982d5c
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 982d5c
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      982d5c
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      ee1f37
      982d5c
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 982d5c
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      982d5c
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      ee1f37
      982d5c
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • ee1f37
      982d5c
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • ee1f37
      982d5c
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 982d5c
      design area and document metadata):
      ee1f37
      982d5c
        982d5c
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • ee1f37
        982d5c
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
