Graphic design The graphic design work line exists to cover brand design, typography design and themes design mainly. Additionally, some auxiliar areas like icon design, illustration design, brushes design, patterns designs and palettes of colors are also included here for completeness. Inside CentOS Artwork Repository graphic design is performed through Inkscape (@url{http://www.inkscape.org/}) and GIMP (@url{http://www.gimp.org/}). The Inkscape tool is used to create and manipulate scalable vector graphics and export them to PNG format; it also provides a command-line interface that we use to perform massive exportation from SVG files to PNG files in automation scripts. On the other hand, GIMP is used to create and manipulate rastered images, create brushes, patterns and palettes of colors. Combine both Inkscape and GIMP specific functionalities and possibilities to produce very beautiful images. The CentOS Project Corporate Visual Identity is made of different visual manifestations (e.g., Distributions, Web sites, Stationery, etc.). Visual manifestations implement the corporate identity concepts by mean of images. To produce these images, we decompose image production in "design models" and "artistic motifs". Design models provide the structural information of images (i.e., dimension, position of common elements in the visible area, translation markers, etc.) and they are generally produced as scalable vector graphics to take advantage of SVG standard, an XML-based standard. Artistic motifs provide the visual style (i.e., the background information, the look and feel) some design models need to complete the final image produced by automation scripts. Artistic motifs are generally produced as rastered images. The result produced from combining one design model with one artistic motif is what we know as a @emph{theme}. Inside themes directory structure (@pxref{Directories trunk Identity Images Themes}), you can find several design models and several artistic motifs independently one another that can be albitrarily combined through @emph{theme rendition}, a flexible way to produce images for different visual manifestations in very specific visual styles. Inside themes directory structure, theme rendition is performed in @file{trunk/Identity/Images/Themes} directory structure, the required design models are taken from @file{trunk/Identity/Models/Themes} directory structure and the action itself is controlled by the @code{render} functionality of centos-art.sh script. In addition to theme rendition you can find @emph{direct rendition}, too. Direct rendition is another way of image production where there is no artistic motif at all but design models only. Direct rendition is very useful to produce simple content that doesn't need specific background information. Some of these contents are brands, icons and illustrations. Direct rendition is performed in @file{trunk/Identity/Images}, the required design models are taken from @file{trunk/Identity/Models} directory structure and the action itself is controlled by the @code{render} functionality of centos-art.sh script. @xref{Directories trunk Identity}, for more information about The CentOS Corporate Identity and how graphic design fits on it.
