    3.24.2 Description

    2dc146
    d11e55

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    d11e55
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    d11e55
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    d11e55

    d11e55

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    d11e55
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    d11e55
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    d11e55
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    d11e55

    d11e55
    d11e55
    <samp>`TreeFlower'</samp>
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    d11e55
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    d11e55
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    d11e55
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    d11e55
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    d11e55
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    d11e55
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    d11e55
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    d11e55
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    d11e55

    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    d11e55
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    d11e55
    organize your graphic design projects.
    d11e55

    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    use the centos-art command line in the
    d11e55
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    d11e55

    d11e55
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    d11e55
    d11e55

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    d11e55
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    d11e55
    illustrated in the following figure:
    d11e55

    3.24.3 Usage

    d11e55
    d11e55

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    d11e55
    recommendations:
    bf28e1

    d11e55
      d11e55
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • d11e55
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      d11e55
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      d11e55
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      008ee0
      d11e55
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • d11e55
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      d11e55
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      4c79b5
      d11e55
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • d11e55
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      d11e55
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      4c79b5
      d11e55
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • fa7cae
      d11e55
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • fa7cae
      d11e55
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • d11e55
      design area and document metadata):
      7bbd70
      d11e55
        d11e55
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 7fa1fb
        d11e55
