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

70ef27
    70ef27

    3.24.2 Description

    42563b
    70ef27

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    70ef27
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    70ef27
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    70ef27

    70ef27

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    70ef27
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    70ef27
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    70ef27
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    70ef27

    70ef27

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

    70ef27
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    70ef27
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
    70ef27

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

    70ef27
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    70ef27
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    70ef27
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    70ef27
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    70ef27
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    70ef27
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    70ef27
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    70ef27

    70ef27

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

    70ef27
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    70ef27
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    70ef27
    organize your graphic design projects.
    70ef27

    70ef27

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

    70ef27
    use the centos-art command line in the
    70ef27
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    70ef27

    70ef27
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    70ef27
    70ef27

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    70ef27
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    70ef27
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.24.3 Usage

    42563b
    70ef27

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    70ef27
    recommendations:
    70ef27

    70ef27
      70ef27
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 70ef27
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      70ef27
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      70ef27
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      42563b
      70ef27
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 70ef27
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      70ef27
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      2dc146
      70ef27
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 70ef27
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      70ef27
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      2dc146
      70ef27
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • d11e55
      70ef27
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 2dc146
      70ef27
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 70ef27
      design area and document metadata):
      d11e55
      70ef27
        70ef27
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 2dc146
        70ef27
