    1.25.2 Description

    982d5c
    b130a0

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    b130a0
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    b130a0
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    b130a0

    b130a0

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    b130a0
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    b130a0
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    b130a0
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.

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

    b130a0
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    b130a0
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    b130a0
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    b130a0
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    b130a0
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    b130a0
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    b130a0
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    b130a0
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    b130a0
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    b130a0

    b130a0

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

    b130a0
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    b130a0
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    b130a0
    organize your graphic design projects.
    b130a0

    b130a0

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

    b130a0
    use the centos-art command line in the
    b130a0
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    b130a0

    b130a0
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    b130a0
    b130a0

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    b130a0
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    b130a0
    illustrated in the following figure:
    b130a0

    1.25.3 Usage

    ee1f37
    b130a0

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    b130a0
    recommendations:
    b130a0

    b130a0
      b130a0
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • b130a0
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      b130a0
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      b130a0
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      ee1f37
      b130a0
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • b130a0
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      b130a0
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      ee1f37
      b130a0
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • b130a0
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      b130a0
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      ee1f37
      b130a0
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • ee1f37
      b130a0
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • aaf678
      b130a0
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • b130a0
      design area and document metadata):
      ee1f37
      b130a0
        b130a0
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • ee1f37
        b130a0
