3.22.1 Goals

ee1f37
ee1f37

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

ee1f37

ee1f37
    ee1f37
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.
  • ee1f37

    3.22.2 Description

    ee1f37
    ee1f37

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    ee1f37
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    ee1f37
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    ee1f37

    ee1f37

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    ee1f37
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    ee1f37
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    ee1f37
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    ee1f37

    ee1f37

    ee1f37

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

    ee1f37
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    ee1f37
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    ee1f37
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    ee1f37
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    ee1f37
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    ee1f37
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    ee1f37
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    ee1f37
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    ee1f37
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    ee1f37

    ee1f37

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

    ee1f37
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    ee1f37
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    ee1f37
    organize your graphic design projects.
    ee1f37

    ee1f37

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

    ee1f37
    use the centos-art command line in the
    ee1f37
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    ee1f37

    ee1f37
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    ee1f37
    ee1f37

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    ee1f37
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    ee1f37
    illustrated in the following figure:
    ee1f37

    3.22.3 Usage

    ee1f37
    ee1f37

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    ee1f37
    recommendations:
    ee1f37

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