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

    3.24.2 Description

    2dc146
    bf28e1

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    bf28e1
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    bf28e1
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    bf28e1
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    bf28e1
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    bf28e1
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

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

    bf28e1
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    bf28e1
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    bf28e1
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    bf28e1
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    bf28e1
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    bf28e1
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    bf28e1
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    bf28e1
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    bf28e1
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

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

    bf28e1
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    bf28e1
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    bf28e1
    organize your graphic design projects.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

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

    bf28e1
    use the centos-art command line in the
    bf28e1
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    bf28e1
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    bf28e1
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.24.3 Usage

    4c79b5
    bf28e1

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    bf28e1
    recommendations:
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
      bf28e1
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • bf28e1
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      bf28e1
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      bf28e1
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      008ee0
      bf28e1
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • bf28e1
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      bf28e1
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      4c79b5
      bf28e1
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • bf28e1
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      bf28e1
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      4c79b5
      bf28e1
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • fa7cae
      bf28e1
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • fa7cae
      bf28e1
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • bf28e1
      design area and document metadata):
      7bbd70
      bf28e1
        bf28e1
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 7bbd70
        bf28e1
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
