I wouldn't be as harsh as mfoxx was :-) But I would say there are design issues here as the request is for a poster format. This layout is in landscape format and folks are going to be less likely to be able to put up a poster somewhere that takes up so much space from left to right. It should be in portrait format. which is what most posters are typically hung up as.

Ugly argument ;-) We are the distro with the slogan "have a lot of fun!" so something funny and happy in my opinion is more than fine. Let SLE be all boring and professional, openSUSE is about fun. I'm otherwise not a huge fan of the design myself, it doesn't fit with the GSOC 2012 artwork and has all these fonts on it. I would have the 'summer of code' part from the flags, maybe. And we do need some other text, maybe just "Join us!". I do like the suggestion of the big "we need you" geeko, too, people love the geeko... Sizes would have to be A3 and such, btw.

Less text, less colours, without Google Logo, and more big 600x900. That Is a lot better, well done :), my only gripe is the proportions of the poster elements are slightly out of whack just make the title text slightly bigger to match the proportions of the other elements.

also some more info is needed as it is isn't all that explanatory, and perhaps the google logo at the bottom with a "sponsored by" or somthing added note, I am not with openSUSE at all, I am just an artist who uses openSUSE and is on this list, nothing more -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Do you have svg file of that poster? It would be easier to discuss ideas by creating example. Without svg: Try to align horizontal text to the left. Try to keep size and orientation of items with similar importance the same (as Michael said). In particular, items in a puzzle pieces should be just as easy to read as any other, so not in all directions, even when not horizontal. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Well Thank's for the suggestions.

- Text bigger, align to left, (yes it's better like this!) - I added some information, and sponsored by. - I modified the direction of shadow of pieces, and colour gradient, and modified the position, and size

And here the result of that new draft:

http://susepaste.org/38434465

What do you think about left alignment with root prompt as a first character in the line: # # Google << Google logo # Summer_Of_Code_2012 # with # # {code,experience,fun,$$$} << [1] # # Geeko needs you !!!! << [2] # # # http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC << this is short enough # Also, I would not put $$$ or money, as that should not be a primary motive for participation, but nice side effect. [1] it is play on shell expansion that will use all listed words as parameters. [2] it is Geeko, not Gecko (gecko is a lizard, and geeko is play with words geek and gecko) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

It is more for initiated that know what is little green creature with swirly tail. For non-initiated it reads "Google Summer of Code NEEDS YOU" which is not wrong in general, but reader will miss who is the caller in this particular case - openSUSE. Also, muted background that doesn't compete for readers attention with text, would be the right thing. URL is better with http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC . Although "opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC" will work when entered in a browser, it is better to give a hint with http:// that text is not another reference on opensuse.org and openSUSE:GSOC connected with slash, but real URL where interested can find more info. In general, if ideas would be in some format that knows about layers, which png doesn't, it would be possible to give "visual comment", in other words make changes and present for comment. /me is dreaming about etherpad for images. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

/me is dreaming about etherpad for images.

Yes that's would be great!

But until time comes that we can create image with some etherpad for images here is how I would like to see that poster: http://susepaste.org/07cdec03 It is 300x300 ppi, but as I did not change number of pixels, real size is 7.2x7.2 inches, otherwise file size will be in Mbytes. What I did: Removed "~>" ahead of "Geeko needs you!" that just steals focus from message. Removed "+Info:" ahead of URL, for the same reason. Shuffled a bit logos. Added "GSOC is sponsored by:" above Google, as there are 2 objects on the poster, GSOC and openSUSE. For insiders it is clear that GSOC is sponsored by Google, not openSUSE, but poster is for everybody, so making clear the fact is better then to fight rumors based on confusion. Also, there is option to add grayed out small print below, as letter format is not square as this graphics and there will be plenty of room. It should be a digest of openSUSE participation in GSOC, for those that don't have handy smartphone to check URL, but that part is for Bryen.

Hi ! Here's the new draft. http://susepaste.org/21462902 Where can I upload the *.svg file? In the IRC channel someone suggested me to use Github, but I don't know how to do it. So, I upload the file in my dropbox account, here's the link http://db.tt/bQGXGyCj You can download, and use it. It's CC (by-sa) but feel free to make what you want. If you make changes in the image, share the result, and show the final version. I would like see it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Hi again

Another Idea

http://susepaste.org/59367172

nice idea.

Just in GSOC style. I like it.

---- Make name> Name. Move text below Geeko, a bit lower. I guess that when you make Name and correct space it will look just right.

I would offer variation with green text on dark background.

+1 Also can have like --> URL : Respective url goes here Also can have a openSUSE logo in the center of teh monitor panel (paralle to the green light) Just my 2 cents /S

I'm no artist. :-) So don't criticize how I did this.

You mean add that line in the screen? Perhaps it is too much information and the text would be very small, I think

URL http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC Also that is piece of information that everyone attracted with top part will look for, ie. more info.

...

Also can have a openSUSE logo in the center of teh monitor panel (paralle to the green light)

I add the Geeko's head logo in the center, but it was vary small...

That is not a problem, just put that logo with sufficient room above and below. It is important to have it. Also, to amplify console feeling make all text the same size and try to see how it works with normal console font. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Victor, I love the monitor idea. I think it's not so fitting to GSOC but I do think we should keep that for something in the future. If you want I can upload the SVG to our github repo - but you could do it yourself too, I'd be happy to give you access rights :D

Hi ! Thank's Jos for all. In Github's page in repo artwork, I have read-only access. Later I will try to upload my svg file. It's my first time, so I will try to do it well...

Thanks, would be good to fix the stuff I did to your posters :D
