This structure let you +make centralized changes on the visual identity and propagate them +quickly to other areas. + +In this configuration you design background images for different +screen resolutions based on the theme artistic motif. + +You may create different artistic motifs propositions based +on the same conceptual idea. The conceptual idea is what defines a +theme. Artistic motifs are interpretations of that idea. + +Inside this directory artistic motifs are organized by name (e.g., +TreeFlower, Modern, etc.). + +Each artistic motif directory represents just one unique artistic +motif. + +The artistic motif is graphic design used as common pattern to connect +all visual manifestations inside one unique theme. The artistic motif +is based on a conceptual idea. Artistic motifs provide visual style +to themes. + +Designing artistic motifs is for anyone interested in creating +beautiful themes for CentOS. When building a theme for CentOS, the +first design you need to define is the artistic motif. + +Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, theme visual styles (a.k.a., +artistic motifs) and theme visual structures (a.k.a., design models) +are two different working lines. When you design an artistic motif +for CentOS you concentrate on its visual style, and eventualy, use the +@command{centos-art} command line interface to render the visual +style, you are currently producing, against an already-made theme +model in order to produce the final result. Final images are stored +under @file{Motifs/} directory using the model name, and the model +directory structure as reference. + +The artistic motif base structure is used by @command{centos-art} to +produce images automatically. This section describes each directory of +CentOS artistic motif base structure. + +The @file{Backgrounds/} directory is probably the core component, +inside @file{Motifs/} directory structure. Inside @file{Backgrounds/} +directory you produce background images used by almost all theme +models (e.g., Distribution, Websites, Promotion, etc.). The +@file{Backgrounds/} directory can contain subdirectories to help you +organize the design process. diff --git a/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern.texi b/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern.texi index 306ab79..8d53d9d 100644 --- a/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern.texi +++ b/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern.texi @@ -1,13 +1,17 @@ @subsection Presentation -@subsection Construction - @subsection Usage @itemize @item ... @end itemize +@ifhtml +@subsection Screenshots + +@image{trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/1/Concept/motif-thumb-250,,,,jpg} +@end ifhtml + @subsection See also @menu diff --git a/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Pipes.texi b/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Pipes.texi new file mode 100755 index 0000000..0bcce68 --- /dev/null +++ b/Identity/Manual/Directories/trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Pipes.texi @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +@subsection Goals + +@itemize +@item ... +@end itemize + +@subsection Description + +@itemize +@item ... +@end itemize + +@subsection Usage + +@itemize +@item ... +@end itemize + +@ifhtml +@subsection Screenshots + +@image{trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Pipes/1/Concept/motif-thumb-250,,,,jpg} +@end ifhtml + +@subsection See also + +@menu +@end menu
