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

    3.22.2 Description

    4c79b5
    2c3589

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    2c3589
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    2c3589
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    4c79b5

    2c3589

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    2c3589
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    2c3589
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    2c3589
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    2c3589

    2c3589
    2c3589
    <samp>`TreeFlower'</samp>
    2c3589

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

    2c3589
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    2c3589
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
    2c3589

    2c3589
    <samp>`Modern'</samp>

    Modern, squares and circles flowing up.

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

    2c3589
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    2c3589
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    2c3589
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    2c3589
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    2c3589
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    2c3589
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    2c3589
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    2c3589

    2c3589

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

    2c3589
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    2c3589
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    2c3589
    organize your graphic design projects.
    2c3589

    2c3589

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

    2c3589
    use the centos-art command line in the
    2c3589
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    2c3589

    2c3589
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    2c3589
    2c3589

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    2c3589
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    2c3589
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.22.3 Usage

    5fb024
    2c3589

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    2c3589
    recommendations:
    2c3589

    2c3589
      2c3589
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 2c3589
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      2c3589
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      2c3589
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      2c3589
      2c3589
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 2c3589
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      2c3589
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      2c3589
      2c3589
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 2c3589
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      2c3589
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      2c3589
      2c3589
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 2c3589
      2c3589
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 2c3589
      2c3589
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 2c3589
      design area and document metadata):
      2c3589
      5fb024
        2c3589
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 2c3589
        2c3589
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
      • 2c3589
