\section{Introduction}
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
The CentOS Artistic Motif is an image used to enforce the CentOS
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Project Visual Identity. The Artistic Motif is a pattern design used
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
to define the CentOS Visual Style.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Due to our Monolithic Visual Structure, the CentOS Project's Visual
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Identity is attached to one unique Visual Style, that is the CentOS
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Default Visual Style. CentOS Default Visual Style is based on one
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
unique CentOS Artistic Motif, that is the CentOS Default Artistic
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Motif.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Changing the CentOS Default Visual Style is not very convenient
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
because that affects the ``recognition'' of CentOS Project.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Nevertheless, we want to see what do you have. Specially if your work
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
is an improvement to the base idea of CentOS Default Visual Style
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
(\emph{\textbf{Modern}, squares and circles flowing up.}).
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Additionally to the CentOS Default Artistic Motif, there are CentOS
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Alternative Motifs. CentOS Alternative Motifs may or may not be
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
related with the current CentOS Default Artistic Motif. CentOS
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Alternative Motfis are an space for new art creation, for designing
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
new and completely exiting artistic ideas. This place doesn't pretend
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
to replace sites like devianart.org, but to collect Artistic Motifs
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
focused on The CentOS Project and what it is.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
If you are not happy with the actual CentOS Default Artistic Motif,
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
you can look inside CentOS Alternative Motifs and if someone is
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
interesting enough you can download it from the CentOS Artwork
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Repository and test it. If it turns popular enough it has posibilities
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
of become the CentOS Default Artistic Motif and by extension the
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
CentOS Default Visual Style.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
If you are not happy with CentOS Alternative Motifs either, then go an
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
design your own CentOS Alternative Artistic Moif and propose it in
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\href{mailto:centos-devel@centos.org}{centos-devel@centos.org}.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
CentOS Default Artistic Motif and CentOS Alternative Motifs are
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
maintain by CentOS Community People. Generally, one person proposes
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
the first idea, later others join the effort to make that idea better.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
The first person who proposes the idea is known as the Motif Author
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
and is she/he who owns the copyright of that work. People joinning the
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
effort are known as Motif Contributors.

\subsection{Recommendations}
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
When designing Motifs for CentOS, consider the following
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
recommendations:
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\begin{itemize}
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
used as value wherever \$THEME variable is. Optionally, you can add a
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
description about inspiration and concepts behind your work.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item Use the location SVN:trunk/Identity/Themes/\$THEME/Motif/ 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 |
\item Use the CentOS Default Artistic Motif's Palette as base to your
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
work. CentOS Palette is available at
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
SVN:trunk/Identity/Themes/Modern/Palettes/Default.gpl.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item Make your work completely vectorial. Do not add raster images
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
inside it.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
design area, and inside inkscape document metadata section wherever it
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
be possible):
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\begin{itemize}
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item The CentOS Motif Brand.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item The name of your artistic motif.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item The copyright sentence: \texttt{Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME}
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\item The license under which the work is released.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
\end{itemize}
