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, not just 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 rendition script was named
render.sh
.
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.
The concepts about corporate identity began to be
considered. As referece, it was used the book Corporate
Identity
by Wally Olins (1989) and Wikipedia (). This way,
the rendition script main's goal becomes to: automate production
of a monolithic corporate visual identity structure, based on the
mission and the release schema of The CentOS Project.
The directory structures started to be documented inside the
repository using text files without markup. Later, documentation
in flat text files was moved to LaTeX format and this way
The CentOS Artwork Repository Manual
started to
take form.
