4c79b5
4c79b5

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

4c79b5

4c79b5
    4c79b5
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

    3.16.2 Description

    4c79b5
    4c79b5

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    4c79b5
    provides theme's visual style, it is used as pattern to connect all
    4c79b5
    visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    4c79b5

    4c79b5

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    4c79b5
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    4c79b5
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    4c79b5
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    4c79b5

    4c79b5

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

    4c79b5
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    4c79b5
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
    4c79b5

    4c79b5

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

    4c79b5
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    4c79b5
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    4c79b5
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    4c79b5
    conceptual idea. That name will be your artistic motif's name. If
    4c79b5
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    4c79b5
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    4c79b5
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    4c79b5

    4c79b5

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

    4c79b5
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    4c79b5
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    4c79b5
    organize your graphic design projects.
    4c79b5

    4c79b5

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

    4c79b5
    use the centos-art command line in the
    4c79b5
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    4c79b5

    4c79b5
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    4c79b5
    4c79b5

    The previous command will create the motif's basic structure for you.

    4c79b5
    The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    4c79b5
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.16.3 Usage

    4c79b5
    4c79b5

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    4c79b5
    recommendations:
    4c79b5

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