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:

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

Thank you

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 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.

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
