Hi everybody ! I just wanted to mention that, after reading this thrad, I uploaded a few pictures I've made during a trip in Greece. I don't know if it is usable for graphical work, but I thought it could give some inspiration to someone. Here is the url : <a href="http://picasaweb.google.fr/kobal.inpacted/GreekLandscapesAndArchitecture?feat=directlink">http://picasaweb.google.fr/kobal.inpacted/GreekLandscapesAndArchitecture?feat=directlink</a> Besides that, you did a wonderful job on Fedora 10 and I'm looking forward the next step :) (sorry for the bad english) -- David Leray <div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/1 Martin Sourada <<a href="mailto:martin.sourada@gmail.com" target="_blank">martin.sourada@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div></div><div>On Fri, 2009-01-30 at 09:54 -0500, Máirín Duffy wrote: > Hi Samuele, > > Samuele Storari wrote: > > Hi all > > > > I work on the Acient Greek theme for this Fedora's release I think is the best one. > > Mo I'd like your idea to create a collage from different landscape or other image. > > For this theme I try to work on the Spartan "Leonidas" idea, I work on the Acient Helm so we don't have discussion on violence or other not connected idea. > > I started looking some inspiration photos on flickr > > > > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ghost_of_kuji/2763629314/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/ghost_of_kuji/2763629314/</a> > > > > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/protectorrr/2714125326/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/protectorrr/2714125326/</a> > > > > then I draw my own. > > Let me suggest to you guys my idea and let me know your guess and your suggestions. > > Maybe someone could help me to find some more dettailed photos of the helm? > > For F11 we're trying to work together on the same concept, > we aren't doing competing ideas anymore. > > Our deadline for a decision on the visual concept > (basically, how will we visually depict 'Leonidas') is > February 1.

I have an idea of small bronze Greek helmet laying on the ground - either on the bottom left on grass (here I'd use some older helmet, let it blend with nature), while the bigger temple being on the bottom right, or having the helmet laying on one of the stairs leading to temple (if we make a temple with stairs; here I'd use rather shiny new helmet). Either way, my idea is focusing rather on the spiritual part of the image, I'd draw it how it could look if the temple was new and still used by old Greeks, perhaps around the columns could be some grapes or some other plant growing, I can also imagine hot springs (with vapour flowing up from the springs, creating a mist) and maybe forest or small bushes nearby, possibly with Mt. Olympus being seen in a distance. Though I am not sure if we'd be able to do such complex art from scratch with inkscape; or if we'd be doing photo-realistic one, if we could get hands on fitting and properly licensed photos... Maybe if I have enough time I'll try to sketch the idea in inkscape, but do not expect something that will look good >_< Martin _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-art-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Fedora-art-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list" target="_blank">http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list</a> </blockquote></div>
