    3.22.2 Description

    4c79b5
    1023f4

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    1023f4
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    1023f4
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.

    1023f4

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    1023f4
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    1023f4
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    1023f4
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.

    1023f4

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

    1023f4
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    1023f4
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    1023f4
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    1023f4
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    1023f4
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    1023f4
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    1023f4
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    1023f4
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    1023f4
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    1023f4

    1023f4

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

    1023f4
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    1023f4
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    1023f4
    organize your graphic design projects.
    1023f4

    1023f4

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

    1023f4
    use the centos-art command line in the
    1023f4
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    1023f4

    1023f4
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    1023f4
    1023f4

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    1023f4
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    1023f4
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.22.3 Usage

    c12cdc
    1023f4

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    1023f4
    recommendations:
    1023f4

    1023f4
      1023f4
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 1023f4
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      1023f4
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      1023f4
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      1023f4
      1023f4
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 1023f4
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      1023f4
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      1023f4
      1023f4
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 1023f4
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      1023f4
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      1023f4
      1023f4
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 1023f4
      1023f4
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 1023f4
      1023f4
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 1023f4
      design area and document metadata):
      1023f4
      5fb024
        1023f4
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 1023f4
        1023f4
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
      • 1023f4
