[opensuse-artwork] watercolour proposal example work
by Michael Fox 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

attached is the svg of a wallpaper using my proposal, im am mailing it here for discussion and perhaps somone can commit it to git as an alternative and to be altered as needed, also attached is a screen shot of the wallpaper in use along with andi's 'pure' kde theme. and a testing of a splash with the design and colours (I know the font sucks) the key point of my design. - i went with the growing theme, as I like the theme - used subtle complimentary colours to softenup the white so it doesnt hurt the eyes - used a clear and concise design, showing we are indeed growing with our community as its leaves in the many uses of openSUSE. - tried to make it not distracting as possible and fitting to the lighter theme as possible. - not to much detail, yet plenty of meanings - tried to make its possible to use in headers and splashes easily - need many subtle adjustments, I’ll admit to that so here is my proposal in action so it can truly be considered for future releases, hope someone likes it :)

I would not categorise our work as 'closed', quite the opposite, every step of our thought and production process has been documented, step by step, on this mailinglist primarily and my twitter feed and google+ when we have anything especially shiny to show off, and will continue to be so, in the hope of involving more people, getting more help, and ultimately producing a better final result. If you re-read my email, you will see that not only am I laying out what I'm intending to do this evening and in the immediate future, but also suggest various ways other people can get involved, pitch in, give feedback, and ultimately, if they really don't like what we're doing, then I've done my best to show them all the other routes for them to follow (like producing a competing packaged proposal), even if I don't necessarily agree with that route nor want to see it happen And I've managed to all of that without in appropriately declaring anything I said as an 'official' artwork team announcement..fancy that?

We can check if we can work out something like that. I am personally not using any grub2 gfx settings as they do not scale very well.
