These are the results from the open question asked to the list about
the design ideas or themes that will guide our thoughts in choosing
artwork for openSUSE 12.3. The idea is to help our contributors and
voters to make choices that match a style guide. That way, the chosen
artwork will achieve a sense of unity. The themes provided could also
make it into the future as a long lasting definition of openSUSE's
artwork. If these themes were to be placed together we get something
like this:
1. Simplicity
2. Clarity
3. Impact/Memorable
4. Unity
Other thoughts included the idea of being new and contemporary, which
can be achieved easily by following the guidelines above. Keep in mind
also that there are things that simply escape the arm of our artwork.
A designer we tend to push the envelope into areas that likely are not
achievable on software. Let's keep this in mind.
Please now, if you can, define these concepts in your own words. That
way we can get more understanding from each person about these design
themes. Simplicity can mean many things for different people, so the
more we acquire a strong concept of these themes, the easier it will
get for selection.
PS: Stay tuned for next week for our wallpaper contest.
Thank you
Andy (anditosan)
