2009's
Around 2009, the rendition script was at a very rustic state
where only slide images could be produced, so it was
redesigned to extend the image production to other areas,
different from slide images. In this configuration, one SVG
file was used as input to produce a translated instance of it
which, in turn, was used to produce one translated PNG image
as output. The SVG translated instance was created through SED
replacement commands. The translated PNG image was created
from the SVG translated instance using Inkscape command-line
interface.
The repository directory structure was prepared to receive the
rendition script using design templates and translation files
in the same location. There was one directory structure for
each artwork that needed to be produced. In this
configuration, if you would want to produce the same artwork
with a different visual style or structure, it was needed to
create a new directory structure for it because both the image
structure and the image visual style were together in the
design template.
The rendition script was moved to a common place and linked
from different directory structures. There was no need to have
the same code in different directory structures if it could be
in just one place and then be linked from different locations.
Corporate identity concepts began to be considered. As
referece, it was used the book "Corporate Identity" by Wally
Olins (1989) and Wikipedia
related links. This way, the rendition script main's goal
becomes to: automate the production process of a
monolithic corporate visual identity structure, based on the
mission and the release schema of The CentOS
Project.
The repository directory structures began to be documented by
mean of flat text files. Later, documentation in flat text
files was moved onto LaTeX format and this way the "The CentOS
Artwork Repository" documentation manual is initiated.
