b9dbd3

b9dbd3
    b9dbd3

    2.25.2 Description

    b130a0
    b9dbd3

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    b9dbd3
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    b9dbd3
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    b130a0

    b9dbd3

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    b9dbd3
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    b9dbd3
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    b9dbd3
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.

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

    b9dbd3
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    b9dbd3
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    b9dbd3
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    b9dbd3
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    b9dbd3
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    b9dbd3
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    b9dbd3
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    b9dbd3
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    b9dbd3
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    b130a0

    b9dbd3

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

    b9dbd3
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    b9dbd3
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    b9dbd3
    organize your graphic design projects.
    b130a0

    b9dbd3

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

    b9dbd3
    use the centos-art command line in the
    b9dbd3
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    b130a0

    b9dbd3
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    b9dbd3
    b9dbd3

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    b9dbd3
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    b9dbd3
    illustrated in the following figure:

    2.25.3 Usage

    b130a0
    b9dbd3

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    b9dbd3
    recommendations:
    b9dbd3

    b9dbd3
      b9dbd3
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • b9dbd3
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      b9dbd3
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      b9dbd3
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      b130a0
      b9dbd3
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • b9dbd3
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      b9dbd3
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      982d5c
      b9dbd3
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • b9dbd3
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      b9dbd3
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      982d5c
      b9dbd3
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 982d5c
      b9dbd3
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • ee1f37
      b9dbd3
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • b9dbd3
      design area and document metadata):
      ee1f37
      b9dbd3
        b9dbd3
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • ee1f37
