    2.36.2 Description

    b130a0
    06d106

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    06d106
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    06d106
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    06d106

    06d106

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    06d106
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    06d106
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    06d106
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    06d106

    06d106

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

    06d106
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    06d106
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    06d106
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    06d106
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    06d106
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    06d106
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    06d106
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    06d106
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    06d106
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    06d106

    06d106

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

    06d106
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    06d106
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    06d106
    organize your graphic design projects.
    06d106

    06d106

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

    06d106
    use the centos-art command line in the
    06d106
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    06d106

    06d106
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    06d106
    06d106

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    06d106
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    06d106
    illustrated in the following figure:

    2.36.3 Usage

    632e8b
    06d106

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    06d106
    recommendations:
    06d106

    06d106
      06d106
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 06d106
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      06d106
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      06d106
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      b130a0
      06d106
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 06d106
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      06d106
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      ee1f37
      06d106
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 06d106
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      06d106
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      632e8b
      06d106
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 632e8b
      06d106
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 632e8b
      06d106
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 06d106
      design area and document metadata):
      632e8b
      06d106
        06d106
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 632e8b
        06d106
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
