[opensuse-artwork] openSUSE 12.3 Design Idea
As we work on the next release of openSUSE. We would like to invite our community to participate with ideas to guide our design team in choosing artwork for openSUSE 12.3. Right now, there are some ideas coming through. As designers, it is important to find ideas, words, or concepts that can help guide our thoughts into choosing artwork for 12.3. Please provide us with a max of 3 design "thoughts," for example 1. Simplicity 2. Clarity 3. Light Choose any 3 of these that can help describe our thought process. If in doubt of what's appropriate to suggest, and not deviate too much from our current styling guidelines, refer to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_guidelines Thank you Andy (anditosan) PS: In case you have not seen yet, please swing by our flickr page.

From me:
1. Subtlety - why? I'm tired of being punched in the eye by loud colour and huge logos everywhere. I know what distro I'm using. 2. Clarity - great word. We have high res monitors, art needs to make the most of them. 3. Unity - not just random cute animal or two unrelated things happening (Floating fuzzy balls don't match crisp Geeko.) a sense of design logic. Around the world with openSUSE or whatever. have fun :) -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
Ok here is my design proposal http://mfoxdogg.com/opensuse/openSUSE12-3_style_draft01.odt hopefully it will be taken a bit more seriously this time On 20/11/12 12:41, Andres Silva wrote:

I like colors. It is type of selection that I can see on many new pages that can choose whatever color they like as there is no tradition to keep some heavy colors around. The rest of proposal we already discussed before. Apropos fonts, we should avoid Fifthleg for text that has to be translated. It is not developed for other then latin font. This makes translated text look a bit strange comparing to original when target font is for instance Cyrillic. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
That's a good point! Let's remember that we still need to suggest design ideas. After the process is over we can gather on IRC and discuss what concepts seem most fitting or workable for 12.3. Thanks for your help. Andy (anditosan) On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 6:15 PM, Rajko <rmatov101@charter.net> wrote:

Three great ideas. Translated from Spanish to English. I'm not a graphic designer, but a picture says a lot, a picture gives an impression. At first glance it is said that the rest will be very good, so you can say: this distribution is wooow. * impact (Impacto) :)

For me there's one key point ... doable : means able to be integrated in some way (could be new) in our (certainly poor) design way of packaging -branding :-) -- Bruno Friedmann openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
