    2.25.2 Description

    671838
    671838

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    671838
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    671838
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    671838

    671838

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    671838
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    671838
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    671838
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    671838

    671838

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

    671838
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    671838
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

    671838

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

    671838
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    671838
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    671838
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    671838
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    671838
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    671838
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    671838
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    671838

    671838

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

    671838
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    671838
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    671838
    organize your graphic design projects.
    671838

    671838

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

    671838
    use the centos-art command line in the
    671838
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    671838

    671838
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    671838
    671838

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    671838
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    671838
    illustrated in the following figure:
    671838

    2.25.3 Usage

    671838
    671838

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    671838
    recommendations:
    063806

    b9dbd3
      671838
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 671838
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      671838
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      671838
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      671838
      671838
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 671838
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      671838
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      671838
      671838
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 671838
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      671838
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      063806
      671838
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 063806
      671838
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 671838
      671838
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 671838
      design area and document metadata):
      063806
      063806
        671838
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 671838
        671838
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
