[opensuse-artwork] Some notes from the artwork BoF at the openSUSE conference
by Andreas Jaeger 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Here are some notes from the artwork BoF that we had last week. * How should artwork look? * To market openSUSE, we should have a "corporate identity". This is a recognizable face at different places. * Corporate identity includes YaST, boot screen, splash screens, wall paper, web presence, banners, posters, flyers... Especially the distribution should have a consistent artwork. * Right now, we have three distinct color palettes: The Novell palette, Jimmac's old palette at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_miscellaneous http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_guidelines and the Bento color scheme. * Palettes break with using gradients * Nuno: It's important to have a person that understands guidelines and explain them (an editor). This person should sign up on artwork. * Nuno: corporate identity creation takes time. Example: oxygen took more than 2 years to reach a common understanding between the three oxygen designers (everything of it has now been replaced). * First thing: Marketing team to define target users and needs, then many talks between art and marketing team. Note that context is important, one color on white is different from the same color on black. * Suggested next steps: 1. Clear strategy to define messaging. 2. Designer will propose something, 3. Marketing folks will review and iterate process until something appears. * Apple has great guidelines. First to break the guidelines is Apple itself. Guidelines are mainly for external folks. * Art team asks: Size, Message, DPI, Text; Colour requirements (black & white, full colour) * Get all done artwork in subversion/git - and give all artists access to playground. -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] openSUSE Conference t-shirt drafts
by Javier Llorente 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hello list-mates, Thanks for your feedback! :-) I have worked a little bit more on some t-shirt designs. Classic design: http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/conference_tshirt.png Modern designs: http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/conference_tshirt3.png http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/conference_tshirt4.png http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/conference_tshirt5.png Thanks gnokii for your awesome t-shirt template ;-) I'll try drawing a Geeko head/Lizard (as Will and Helen suggested). A Geeko with a scaffolding or a Geeko with a green paint-splash sound like good ideas. I also have some ideas like the Nuremberg world (city shape around the world), and a jungle with a lizard, a kiwi tree, a package, etc. Cheers, -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-artwork] plymouth theme
by Nelson Marques 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hi all, I'm a big fan of plymouth and it's landing on openSUSE soon I hope. I've had a small talk with Spyhawk who is doing the implementation and we traded some ideas/thoughts. I've offered myself to do a minimal theme for plymouth to resemble the most with the current bootsplash we use. I will need some artwork for it, namely for the throbber, as the logo's and backgrounds are not an issue since I'm using the ones shipped with 11.3. Anyone willing to design a throbber that I can use? I've attached a throbber from the PAW theme (in which I'm basing my theme, as it's simple enough and should provide integration easilly with studio (1 wallpaper, 1 logo and a throbber). Thanks in advance. Nelson.
