@subsection Goals
d18d63
d18d63
The @file{trunk/Identity} directory exists to organize CentOS
d18d63
corporate identity artworks.

@subsection Description
d18d63
d18d63
The CentOS Project corporate identity is the ``persona'' of the
d18d63
organization known as The CentOS Project.  The CentOS Project
d18d63
corporate identity plays a significant role in the way the CentOS
d18d63
Project, as organization, presents itself to both internal and
d18d63
external stakeholders. In general terms, the CentOS Project corporate
d18d63
visual identity expresses the values and ambitions of the CentOS
d18d63
Project organization, its business, and its characteristics.  
d18d63
d18d63
The CentOS Project corporate identity provides visibility,
d18d63
recognizability, reputation, structure and identification to the
d18d63
CentOS Project organization by means of corporate design, corporate
d18d63
communication, and corporate behaviour.
d18d63
d18d63
The CentOS Project settles down its corporate visual identity on a
d18d63
``monolithic corporate visual identity structure''. In this structure
d18d63
The CentOS Project uses one unique name (The CentOS Brand) and one
d18d63
unique visual style (The CentOS Default Theme) in all its
d18d63
manifestations. 
d18d63
d18d63
@table @strong
d18d63
d18d63
@item The CentOS Brands
d18d63
The CentOS brand is the name or trademark that conncects the producer
d18d63
with their products. In this case, the producer is The CentOS Project
d18d63
and the products are the CentOS distributions, the CentOS web sites,
d18d63
the CentOS promotion stuff, etc.

d18d63
@xref{trunk Identity Brands}, for more information.
d18d63
d18d63
@item The CentOS Themes
d18d63
d18d63
The CentOS themes are a set of image files connected all together by
d18d63
one unique visual style. Each theme is organized in different visual
d18d63
manifestations, in order to cover each visual manifestation of The
d18d63
CentOS Project (i.e., distributions, websites, promotion stuff, etc.).

@end table
d18d63
d18d63
Inside a monolithic corporate visual identity structure, internal and
d18d63
external stakeholders use to feel a strong sensation of uniformity,
d18d63
orientation, and identification with the organization. No matter if
d18d63
you are visiting websites, using the distribution, or acting on social
d18d63
events, the one unique name and one unique visual style conect them
d18d63
all to say: Hey! we are all parts of the CentOS project.  And,
d18d63
probably, some vister will say: Can I join the party?  Yes you can, it
d18d63
is free. :)

@subsection Usage
d18d63
d18d63
To produce identity artworks, use the following commands:
d18d63
d18d63
@table @samp
d18d63
@item centos-art render 'path/to/dir' 
d18d63
d18d63
When @samp{path/to/dir} refers to one renderable directory under
d18d63
@file{trunk/Identity}, this command renders identity artworks using
d18d63
both related design models and related translation files.
d18d63
d18d63
@item centos-art render 'path/to/dir' --filter='pattern' 
d18d63
d18d63
When @samp{path/to/dir} refers to one renderable directory under
d18d63
@file{trunk/Identity}, this command renders identity artworks using
d18d63
both related design models and related translation files that match
d18d63
the regular expression passed in @samp{--filter='pattern'} argument.
d18d63
d18d63
To control the number of files produced by @command{centos-art}
d18d63
command, you need to look into the translation path and provide a
d18d63
regular expression pattern that matches the translation path, or
d18d63
paths, related to the file, or files, you want to produce.  
d18d63
d18d63
The regular expression pattern you provide to @command{centos-art}
d18d63
command is applied to the translation path from its very beginning.
d18d63
It is not the same to say @samp{5/en/01-welcome} that
d18d63
@samp{01-welcome}, the frist expression matches but the last one does
d18d63
not.
d18d63
d18d63
When using @samp{--filter='pattern'} you don't need to specify the
d18d63
file extension. It is removed from translation path before applying
d18d63
the pattern, so it doesn't count here.

@subsection File name convenctions
d18d63
d18d63
As file name convenction, inside CentOS Artwork Repository, both
d18d63
text-based and image-based file name produced by @command{centos-art.sh}
d18d63
script has the same name of their translation files without
d18d63
the @samp{.sed} extension. The file extension is set as follow:
d18d63
d18d63
@subsubsection When text-based files are rendered
d18d63
d18d63
Text-based files end up having the same extension of their design
d18d63
template file.
d18d63
d18d63
@subsubsection When image-based files are rendered
d18d63
d18d63
Image-based files always end up having the @file{.png} extension. 
d18d63
d18d63
@quotation
d18d63
@strong{Tip} Once @file{.png} images are created, other image formats
d18d63
may be created using the @command{renderFormats} post-rendering
d18d63
action, inside the image-based related pre-rendering configuration
d18d63
script.
