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

2dc146

7bbd70
    7bbd70
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

    3.24.2 Description

    2dc146
    7bbd70

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    7bbd70
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    7bbd70
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    7bbd70
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    7bbd70
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    7bbd70
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    7bbd70
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    7bbd70
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    7bbd70
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    7bbd70
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    7bbd70
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    7bbd70
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    7bbd70
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    7bbd70
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    7bbd70
    organize your graphic design projects.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    use the centos-art command line in the
    7bbd70
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    7bbd70
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    7bbd70
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.24.3 Usage

    4c79b5
    7bbd70

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    7bbd70
    recommendations:
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
      7bbd70
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 7bbd70
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      7bbd70
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      7bbd70
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      4c79b5
      7bbd70
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 7bbd70
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      7bbd70
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      0151ba
      7bbd70
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 7bbd70
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      7bbd70
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      0151ba
      7bbd70
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 4c79b5
      7bbd70
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 008ee0
      7bbd70
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 7bbd70
      design area and document metadata):
      4c79b5
      7bbd70
        7bbd70
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 4c79b5
        7bbd70
