    3.23.2 Description

    7e35dc

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    7e35dc
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    7e35dc
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.

    7e35dc

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    7e35dc
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    7e35dc
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    7e35dc
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.

    7e35dc

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

    7e35dc
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    7e35dc
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    7e35dc
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    7e35dc
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    7e35dc
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    7e35dc
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    7e35dc
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    7e35dc
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    7e35dc
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    7e35dc

    7e35dc

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

    7e35dc
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    7e35dc
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    7e35dc
    organize your graphic design projects.
    7e35dc

    7e35dc

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

    7e35dc
    use the centos-art command line in the
    7e35dc
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    7e35dc

    7e35dc
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    7e35dc
    7e35dc

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    7e35dc
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    7e35dc
    illustrated in the following figure:
    7e35dc

    3.23.3 Usage

    c2a1bc
    7e35dc

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    7e35dc
    recommendations:
    7e35dc

    7e35dc
      7e35dc
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 7e35dc
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      7e35dc
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      7e35dc
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      7e35dc
      7e35dc
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 7e35dc
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      7e35dc
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      7e35dc
      7e35dc
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 7e35dc
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      7e35dc
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      7e35dc
      7e35dc
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 7e35dc
      7e35dc
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 7e35dc
      7e35dc
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 7e35dc
      design area and document metadata):
      7e35dc
      2dc146
        7e35dc
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 7e35dc
        7e35dc
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
