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

2dc146

7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

    3.24.2 Description

    2dc146
    7fa1fb

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    7fa1fb
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    7fa1fb
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    7fa1fb
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    7fa1fb
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    7fa1fb
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    7fa1fb
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    7fa1fb
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    7fa1fb
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    7fa1fb
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    7fa1fb
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    7fa1fb
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    7fa1fb
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    7fa1fb
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    7fa1fb
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    7fa1fb
    organize your graphic design projects.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    use the centos-art command line in the
    7fa1fb
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    7fa1fb
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    7fa1fb
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.24.3 Usage

    0151ba
    7fa1fb

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    7fa1fb
    recommendations:
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
      7fa1fb
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 7fa1fb
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      7fa1fb
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      7fa1fb
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      0151ba
      7fa1fb
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 7fa1fb
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      7fa1fb
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      4c79b5
      7fa1fb
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • 7fa1fb
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      7fa1fb
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.

      7fa1fb
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 4c79b5
      7fa1fb
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 4c79b5
      7fa1fb
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • 7fa1fb
      design area and document metadata):
      fa7cae
      7fa1fb
        7fa1fb
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • fa7cae
        7fa1fb
