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

2dc146

fa7cae
    fa7cae
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

    3.24.2 Description

    2dc146
    fa7cae

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    fa7cae
    provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect
    fa7cae
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    fa7cae

    fa7cae

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    fa7cae
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    fa7cae
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    fa7cae
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    fa7cae

    fa7cae

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

    fa7cae
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    fa7cae
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
    fa7cae

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

    fa7cae
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    fa7cae
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    fa7cae
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    fa7cae
    conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If
    fa7cae
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    fa7cae
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    fa7cae
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    fa7cae

    fa7cae

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

    fa7cae
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    fa7cae
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    fa7cae
    organize your graphic design projects.
    fa7cae

    fa7cae

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

    fa7cae
    use the centos-art command line in the
    fa7cae
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    fa7cae

    fa7cae
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    fa7cae
    fa7cae

    The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for

    fa7cae
    you.  The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    fa7cae
    illustrated in the following figure:
    fa7cae

    3.24.3 Usage

    2dc146
    fa7cae

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    fa7cae
    recommendations:
    fa7cae

    fa7cae
      fa7cae
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • fa7cae
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      fa7cae
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      fa7cae
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      2dc146
      fa7cae
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • fa7cae
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      fa7cae
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      4c79b5
      fa7cae
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base
    • fa7cae
      color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color
      fa7cae
      information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs.
      4c79b5
      fa7cae
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 0151ba
      fa7cae
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 0151ba
      fa7cae
    • Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
    • fa7cae
      design area and document metadata):
      4c79b5
      fa7cae
        fa7cae
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 008ee0
