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

5fb024

4c79b5
    5fb024

    3.22.2 Description

    4c79b5
    5fb024

    The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that

    5fb024
    provides theme's visual style, it is used as pattern to connect all
    5fb024
    visual manifestations inside one unique theme.
    5fb024

    5fb024

    Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring

    5fb024
    the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination.
    5fb024
    Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost
    5fb024
    anything, and art works don't escape from it.
    5fb024

    5fb024

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

    5fb024
    by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and
    5fb024
    open standards, to show the beauty of its existence.

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

    5fb024
    want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new
    5fb024
    artistic motif you need to create a directory under
    5fb024
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your
    5fb024
    conceptual idea. That name will be your artistic motif's name. If
    5fb024
    possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about
    5fb024
    what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your
    5fb024
    time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on.
    5fb024

    5fb024

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

    5fb024
    motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic
    5fb024
    direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you
    5fb024
    organize your graphic design projects.
    5fb024

    5fb024

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

    5fb024
    use the centos-art command line in the
    5fb024
    <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below:
    5fb024

    5fb024
     
    centos-art add --motif=ThemeName
    5fb024
    5fb024

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

    5fb024
    The basic structure produced by centos-art command is
    5fb024
    illustrated in the following figure:

    3.22.3 Usage

    4c79b5
    5fb024

    When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following

    5fb024
    recommendations:
    4c79b5

    5fb024
      5fb024
    • Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
    • 5fb024
      used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation marker
      5fb024
      (=THEME=) is.  Optionally, you can add a description about
      5fb024
      inspiration and concepts behind your work.
      5fb024
      5fb024
    • Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to
    • 5fb024
      store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require
      5fb024
      you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository.
      5fb024
      5fb024
    • The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d)
    • 5fb024
      as base for its corporate visual identity. Use the CentOS Project's
      5fb024
      base corporate color as much as possible in your artistic motif
      5fb024
      designs.
      5fb024
      5fb024
    • Try to make your design fit one of the theme models.
    • 5fb024
      5fb024
    • Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
    • 5fb024
      5fb024
    • Add the following information on your art work (both in a visible
    • 5fb024
      design area, and inside Inkscape's document metadata section wherever
      5fb024
      it be possible):
      5fb024
      5fb024
        5fb024
      • The name (or logo) of your artistic motif.
      • 5fb024
        5fb024
      • The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME
      • 5fb024
        5fb024
      • The license under which the work is released. All CentOS Art
