The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> directory exists to:

632e8b
    632e8b

    2.35.2 Description

    671838
    632e8b

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    632e8b
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    632e8b
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    671838

    632e8b

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    632e8b
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    632e8b
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    632e8b
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    671838

    632e8b

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

    632e8b
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    632e8b
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    632e8b
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    632e8b
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    632e8b
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    632e8b
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    632e8b
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    632e8b
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    632e8b
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    632e8b

    632e8b

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

    632e8b
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    632e8b
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    632e8b
    organize your graphic design projects.
    632e8b

    632e8b

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

    632e8b
    use the centos-art command line in the
    632e8b
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    632e8b

    632e8b
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    632e8b
    632e8b

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    632e8b
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    632e8b
    illustrated in the following figure:
    632e8b

    2.35.3 Usage

    671838
    632e8b

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    632e8b
    recommendations:
    671838

    632e8b
      632e8b
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 632e8b
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      632e8b
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      632e8b
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      671838
      632e8b
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 632e8b
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      632e8b
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      671838
      632e8b
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 632e8b
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      632e8b
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      063806
      632e8b
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 632e8b
      632e8b
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 632e8b
      632e8b
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 632e8b
      design area and document metadata):
      063806
      063806
        632e8b
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 632e8b
        632e8b
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
      • 632e8b
