c2a1bc

    3.23.2 Description

    c2a1bc

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    c2a1bc
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    c2a1bc
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.

    c2a1bc

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    c2a1bc
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    c2a1bc
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    c2a1bc
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    c2a1bc

    c2a1bc

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

    c2a1bc
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    c2a1bc
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    c2a1bc
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    c2a1bc
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    c2a1bc
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    c2a1bc
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    c2a1bc
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    c2a1bc
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    c2a1bc
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    c2a1bc

    c2a1bc

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

    c2a1bc
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    c2a1bc
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    c2a1bc
    organize your graphic design projects.
    c2a1bc

    c2a1bc

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

    c2a1bc
    use the centos-art command line in the
    c2a1bc
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    c2a1bc

    c2a1bc
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    c2a1bc
    c2a1bc

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    c2a1bc
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    c2a1bc
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.23.3 Usage

    2b5e61
    c2a1bc

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    c2a1bc
    recommendations:
    c2a1bc

    c2a1bc
      c2a1bc
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • c2a1bc
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      c2a1bc
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      c2a1bc
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      c2a1bc
      c2a1bc
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • c2a1bc
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      c2a1bc
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      c2a1bc
      c2a1bc
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • c2a1bc
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      c2a1bc
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      c2a1bc
      c2a1bc
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • c2a1bc
      c2a1bc
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • c2a1bc
      c2a1bc
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • c2a1bc
      design area and document metadata):
      c2a1bc
      2dc146
        c2a1bc
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • c2a1bc
        c2a1bc
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
