    2.36.2 Description

    52772c
    52772c

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    52772c
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    52772c
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    52772c

    52772c

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    52772c
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    52772c
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    52772c
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    52772c

    52772c

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

    52772c
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    52772c
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    52772c
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    52772c
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    52772c
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    52772c
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    52772c
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    52772c
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    52772c
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    52772c

    52772c

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

    52772c
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    52772c
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    52772c
    organize your graphic design projects.
    52772c

    52772c

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

    52772c
    use the centos-art command line in the
    52772c
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    52772c

    52772c
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    06d106
    52772c

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    52772c
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    52772c
    illustrated in the following figure:
    52772c

    2.36.3 Usage

    52772c
    52772c

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    52772c
    recommendations:
    06d106

    52772c
      52772c
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 52772c
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      52772c
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      52772c
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      063806
      52772c
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 52772c
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      52772c
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      671838
      52772c
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 52772c
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      52772c
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      52772c
      52772c
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 52772c
      52772c
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 671838
      52772c
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 52772c
      design area and document metadata):
      52772c
      52772c
        52772c
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 52772c
        52772c
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
