    <para>The rendition script was at a very rustic state where only
ca81f7
    slide images could be produced, so it was redesigned to extend the
eb3c68
    image production to other areas, not just slide images.  In this
ca81f7
    configuration, one SVG file was used as input to produce a
eb3c68
    translated instance of it which, in turn, was used to produce one
eb3c68
    translated PNG image as output.  The SVG translated instance was
eb3c68
    created through SED replacement commands. The translated PNG image
eb3c68
    was created from the SVG translated instance using Inkscape
eb3c68
    command-line interface.</para>

    <para>The repository directory structure was prepared to receive
eb3c68
    the rendition script using design templates and translation files
eb3c68
    in the same location.  There was one directory structure for each
eb3c68
    artwork that needed to be produced. In this configuration, if you
eb3c68
    would want to produce the same artwork with a different visual
eb3c68
    style or structure, it was needed to create a new directory
eb3c68
    structure for it because both the image structure and the image
eb3c68
    visual style were together in the design template.</para>

    <para>The rendition script was moved to a common place and linked
eb3c68
    from different directory structures. There was no need to have the
eb3c68
    same code in different directory structures if it could be in just
eb3c68
    one place and then be linked from different locations.</para>

    <para>The concepts about corporate identity began to be
eb3c68
    considered. As referece, it was used the book <quote>Corporate
eb3c68
    Identity</quote> by Wally Olins (1989) and Wikipedia (
eb3c68
    url="http://en.wikipedia.org/Corporate_identity" />). This way,
eb3c68
    the rendition script main's goal becomes to: automate production
eb3c68
    of a monolithic corporate visual identity structure, based on the
eb3c68
    mission and the release schema of The CentOS Project.</para>

    <para>The directory structures started to be documented inside the
eb3c68
    repository using text files without markup.  Later, documentation
eb3c68
    in flat text files was moved to LaTeX format and this way
eb3c68
    <quote>The CentOS Artwork Repository Manual</quote> started to
eb3c68
    take form.</para>
