My intention, which I didn't follow through with due to other
commitments, was to ask Coolo if he had any particular vision for
12.1, and from there to brainstorm with the art team.
Alternatively it could be good to brainstorm a bunch of stuff first up.
Personally, I enjoyed the industrial look of 11.4 - it's a pity that
being a little bit 'last minute' we weren't able to do more with it.
Any contributions will not be wasted - even if work doesn't fit with
the primary theme of the release, it's great to provide users with
alternatives.
How do you guys feel about aesthetic styles right now?
I thing light, clean and minimal is still very contemporary, with an
almost retro chunky edge at times. People also still enjoy really
beautiful high-res photography that makes the most of their lovely HD
monitors. A suite of art that represents some favorite things for
users - such as science, fine art, design, business/finance - without
being too heavily representational - might be nice.
cheers,
Helen

So it would probably be good to start early this time and get more people involved if possible :-)
on the marketting point of view, to be able to have all the documents ready for launch, we need the artwork early than last time. two month before release would be good (at least for the most visible things).
And I would really like to have the distro name visible (may be very small) in the splash screens, let only to recognise the old versions when seeing them on creen :-)
