    2.25.2 Description

    f66721
    f66721

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    f66721
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    f66721
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    f66721

    f66721

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    f66721
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    f66721
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    f66721
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    f66721

    f66721

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

    f66721
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    f66721
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    f66721
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    f66721
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    f66721
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    f66721
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    f66721
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    f66721
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    f66721
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    f66721

    f66721

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

    f66721
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    f66721
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    f66721
    organize your graphic design projects.
    f66721

    f66721

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

    f66721
    use the centos-art command line in the
    f66721
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    f66721

    f66721
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    f66721
    f66721

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    f66721
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    f66721
    illustrated in the following figure:
    f66721

    2.25.3 Usage

    f66721
    f66721

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    f66721
    recommendations:
    b9dbd3

    f66721
      f66721
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • f66721
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      f66721
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      f66721
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      063806
      f66721
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • f66721
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      f66721
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      063806
      f66721
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • f66721
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      f66721
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      063806
      f66721
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 063806
      f66721
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 063806
      f66721
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • f66721
      design area and document metadata):
      ee1f37
      f66721
        f66721
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 063806
        f66721
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
