bc3531

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

bc3531

4c79b5
    bc3531
  • Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs.

    3.18.2 Description

    4c79b5
    bc3531

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    bc3531
    provides theme's visual style, it is used as pattern to connect all
    bc3531
    visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    bc3531

    bc3531

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    bc3531
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    bc3531
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    bc3531
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    bc3531

    bc3531

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

    bc3531
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    bc3531
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.
    bc3531

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

    bc3531
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    bc3531
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    bc3531
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    bc3531
    conceptual idea. That name will be your artistic motif's name. If
    bc3531
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    bc3531
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    bc3531
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    bc3531

    bc3531

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

    bc3531
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    bc3531
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    bc3531
    organize your graphic design projects.
    bc3531

    bc3531

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

    bc3531
    use the centos-art command line in the
    bc3531
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    bc3531

    bc3531
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    bc3531
    bc3531

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

    bc3531
    The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    bc3531
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.18.3 Usage

    4c79b5
    bc3531

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    bc3531
    recommendations:
    4c79b5

    bc3531
      bc3531
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • bc3531
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      bc3531
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      bc3531
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      bc3531
      bc3531
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • bc3531
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      bc3531
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      bc3531
      bc3531
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d)
    • bc3531
      as base for its corporate visual identity. Use the CentOS Project's
      bc3531
      base corporate color as much as possible in your artistic motif
      bc3531
      designs.
      bc3531
      bc3531
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • bc3531
      bc3531
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • bc3531
      bc3531
    • Add the following information on your art work (both in a visible
    • bc3531
      design area, and inside Inkscape's document metadata section wherever
      bc3531
      it be possible):
      bc3531
      bc3531
        bc3531
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • bc3531
        bc3531
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
      • bc3531
