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 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Some notes: The temple is made very simple for the begining, more details will need to be added, also we'd probably need to chose slightly different colouring and maybe slightly different proportions. The helmet would probably need only small amount of extra detail added. I've created really simple background and that would definitely need to be replaced by something better looking. Also, unlike for the temple and helmet, I've used open clipart images which do not fit the rest of the image, so we'll need to create more detailed, 3D-looking images ourselves. On the wiki [3] I've linked some photos which might serve as reference. Also the hot springs look pretty odd as they are now. Maybe adding some reflections, etc. would help. Overall, I think the resultant image should have much less vivid colours and it would be great if we could target more realistic looks (perhaps some post-processing in gimp might help that). Also, I think it would be interesting to change the shading during the day, it would be quite a lot of extra work, but IMHO definitely doable and the result might be pretty impressive. Anyway, see the concept more like "I think the olive tree would be good if it were placed here, there I'd like some log, ..." and as a base for further development, should we go with this approach. Though I fully realize that making 3D-looking art with perspective purely in inkscape isn't an easy task.

I like how you put the elements in the image and the ability to play with them (move, resize, etc.) I also think we *wont't* manage to come with something realistic made completely with Inkscape, so we may have to go with either photomanip and a realistic look or drawing and stylization.

We could play around using Inkscape and even Mola's renders to figure out the composition of the image, then use photomanip techniques to fill it in... that seems like it would work better than what I've been doing, which is trying to find an openly-licensed photo with a good composition and working off of that. ~m From martin.sourada at gmail.com Mon Feb 2 22:23:02 2009 From: martin.sourada at gmail.com (Martin Sourada) Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:23:02 +0100 Subject: Echo Monthly News Issue 6, January 2009 Message-ID: <1233613382.3094.28.camel@pc-notebook> Hello, We have published the sixth Echo Monthly News Issue [1].

Angel, when you send such a logo for preview, you can safely use a smaller resolution, not a huge image. You can also send a vector version. Other than that, no much to talk about it, it is just the the Fedora logo with the word "bangladesh" below it... I think I would try to use another shade of blue, one of the two blues used in the logo, maybe make the width of the "bangladesh" word the same as the width of the bubble and increase the thickness of the font by adding a stroke in the same blue color as the text body. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ From duffy at fedoraproject.org Fri Feb 6 18:06:00 2009 From: duffy at fedoraproject.org (=?iso-8859-1?Q?M=C3=A1ir=C3=ADn_Duffy?=) Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 10:06:00 -0800 (PST) Subject: Fedora-art-list Digest, Vol 35, Issue 7 References: <684021.5525.qm@web51304.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <496013.80947.qm@web50912.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Hi Brian, > can we have the Greek columns under a starry sky, linking ancient Greece with their knowledge of astronomy and also 2009 international year of astronomy.

I hadn't realized it, but I'm definitely of the class that likes a landscape/view in to a bigger, deeper place.

The possibilities are pretty much limitless but it would be a good thing to conserve the CPU and keep the number and size of images included in the initrd to a minimum. Take a look at some examples from last year [1-3]. Moving images around like in [1] is trivial, while things like the solar flares in [2] and [3] are a lot harder so I won't be able to create too many mockups of these.

Now, the problem is that the actual support of these in our system is crappy. Out of the combinations of two FLOSS containers (matroska and ogg) and two FLOSS video codecs (dirac and theora) I know only one (ogg + theora) actually works in xine-lib (used by KDE4) which is pathetic. So I created a wiki page (not sure what name space to use, so I put it under my user page for starters) [1] which tracks the situation. I don't have much time lately due to university duties, so I put there only things I know of and didn't researched further. So if you know of any FLOSS container, video or audio codec, feel free to add it there. Also feel free to reference upstream bugs about the mentioned issues. The videos used for reference testing are available at my fedora people page [2].

Now, the problem is that the actual support of these > in our system is crappy. I don't think that is the correct take-away. Everything works in gstreamer. The correct conclusion is that support for free formats in media infrastructure primarily designed, built, and maintained for non-free formats currently stinks for the free stuff. It's another indicator that Fedora should discontinue shipping these non-free media focused infrastructures rather than continuing to patch the non-free stuff out. Of course, support for the free formats should be fixed in that, but that really shouldn't be a Fedora issue. [snip] > Also > feel free to reference upstream bugs about the mentioned issues. The > videos used for reference testing are available at my fedora people page > [2]. It's probably important to have a more complete test. Right now you're using what is probably the simplest possible test: Just a regular file with video in it. That case is important, but it is also important to test more complicated cases, such as tests including audio, subtitles, oddball muxing, and chaining. It's no good if a player works for your simple case but crashes as soon as someone gives it a subtitled input. It would also be good to try all mixtures of (FLAC|Speex|Vorbis) * (Theora|Dirac) * (w/ | w/o subtitles) * (OGG|Mkv) which is 24 combinations by itself. (although I don't know how worthwhile the Mkv testing is? as far as I can tell it's mostly unseen outside of the movie piracy / anime fansub sites; and at those its usually used with H264) For Ogg it's also important to test seeking, because some applications have historically gotten it wrong. Seeking with Ogg should be done with Newton?Raphson (ideally) or bisection. There have been broken applications (ffmpeg in the past; for example) which seek in Ogg with a linear scan starting at the file beginning, which is quite intolerable for any reasonably large file. Unfortunately this test needs a large (~hundreds of MBytes) test file, so it's hard to distribute a test. Some of the proprietary-codecs focused tools provide their own home grown implementations of the codecs (i.e. ffmpeg). These often do not implement the full spec, so its important to test their behaviour. Here are some resources for doing that: Some good tests for Ogg/Theora: http://v2v.cc/~j/theora_testsuite/ There are test vectors for Vorbis here: http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/test-vectors/vorbis/ From nicu_fedora at nicubunu.ro Mon Feb 9 08:18:47 2009 From: nicu_fedora at nicubunu.ro (Nicu Buculei) Date: Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:18:47 +0200 Subject: More Greek Wallpaper In-Reply-To: <498EFA33.80709@brej.org> References: <554160.13448.qm@web50904.mail.re2.yahoo.com> <498EFA33.80709@brej.org> Message-ID: <498FE6E7.5070001@nicubunu.ro> Charlie Brej wrote: > > On the plymouth front, I am likely to be a bit busier at work this > release than the F10 one, so I would really appreciate some of ideas as > to what people would like during the system boot.

I hope we can share ideas again as for Solar :) > My option is for something clean and simple, not much moving beside a > progress bar. +1 I like clean splash screens and another issue is - we can have same splash in KDE too - we don't have so many possibilities to animate it as Plymouth has and I'd like to see same splash during whole boot process - from Plymouth, through KDM and KSplashX, first boot with final desktop background => consistency. I don't know if I will have so much time to do all branding I'd like to for KDE (Plasma theme, HTML templates, etc.) but I'd like to try. And proposed background is warm and fresh for spring release as Solar was cold for winter :-) Jaroslav From jreznik at redhat.com Mon Feb 9 08:54:59 2009 From: jreznik at redhat.com (Jaroslav Reznik) Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 09:54:59 +0100 Subject: More Greek Wallpaper In-Reply-To: <498FE93B.7080906@nicubunu.ro> References: <554160.13448.qm@web50904.mail.re2.yahoo.com> <498FE93B.7080906@nicubunu.ro> Message-ID: <200902090954.59261.jreznik@redhat.com> On Monday 09 February 2009 09:28:43 Nicu Buculei wrote: > M?ir?n Duffy wrote: > > I just posted a new F11 wallpaper mockup: > > https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/0/0d/Artwork_F11_greek-concept_mockup > >2_mo.png > > > > It's more really an attempt at a nice backdrop, and maybe we can layer > > some of the trees and buildings we were talking about on top.

The F11 Beta freeze arrives on March 10th, and it would be good to have a background ready somewhat before that so there's time to tweak it before the freeze. As I understand it, once the desktop background is decided, that will form the basis for the other theme pieces for the Preview Release. Thoughts, comments? -- Paul W.

Well, keep in mind the pictures shown are proofs of concept, not finished art. Any "immaturity" you perceive is simply a result of the artists wanting to get ideas out for study, as opposed to polished backgrounds ready to go into the distribution as-is. I think the collage idea is interesting, but probably visually confusing in a distribution that's always had a very solid track record of unified visual themes. -- Paul W.

Duh! Sometime I should use more words... I think is preferable to have a more desaturated look, this is supposed to be *old paper*, with the colors washed-down (desaturated). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ From dilophodd at gmail.com Fri Feb 20 10:17:54 2009 From: dilophodd at gmail.com (Thomas Kole) Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:17:54 +0100 Subject: F11 wallpaper mockup proposal In-Reply-To: <499E781D.3060303@nicubunu.ro> References: <1799f9cf0902191552n608433c5hd9250a9bdaece536@mail.gmail.com> <1235092130.23136.139.camel@ignacio.lan> <1799f9cf0902200118td2c5a60y4050b6cabea5b1e5@mail.gmail.com> <499E781D.3060303@nicubunu.ro> Message-ID: <499E8352.2080405@gmail.com> Nicu Buculei schreef: > Paolo Leoni wrote: >> 2009/2/20 Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams >> >> >> What about turning it into a blueprint? >> >> ...like this? >> >> http://pleoni.altervista.org/f11-wallpaper-day_mockup_2.jpg >> >> http://pleoni.altervista.org/f11-wallpaper-night_mockup_2.jpg >> > > That's the idea, but try a different type of blue, more like > http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=blueprint What about this? http://dilopho-dd.deviantart.com/art/F11-map-wallpaper-113517087 PS: i dont know a lot about licences, so i uploaded it at DA with a CC licence...

I think the day one is too busy to be a good background. Maybe if the day one was desaturated a bit so it didn't have as much contrast? Either way, we could certainly include it as a wallpaper in the bundle that comes installed if we decide it's not Leonidas enough. It does have a nautical theme so I do think it would be appropriate, although we had already agreed some weeks ago we wanted to focus on the Greek and not the nautical aspects of Leonidas. ~m ----- Original Message ---- > From: Nicu Buculei > To: Fedora Art List > Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 8:51:44 AM > Subject: Re: F11 wallpaper mockup proposal > > Thomas Kole wrote: > > what about making one by yourselve? > > Just a concept... > > > > http://dilopho-dd.deviantart.com/art/F11-map-wallpaper-2-113526429 > > Making a new one by yourself is a good idea, only that your image look (to me) > modern.

Probably not. The magnifier works better in combination with folder, but for system-search I'd stay with binoculars.

I created a fifth layer and using pencil aded four large stars and and Jupiter and Saturn. I used the neon filter? on this layer to make Jupiter and Mars appear to glow.

Message-ID: <362702.42505.qm@web50912.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Hey folks, So the clock is ticking and we don't have much time to make F11 beta. I would like to try to take the wallpaper base artwork that I put together [1] and add some elements to it to match Luya's sketch [2]. (Although I'm not 100% sure the vase in the composition will work but we can certainly try it.) Since there's not so much time, I was wondering if folks would be willing to help out with this. We need some good, clear, high-resolution, and openly-licensed [3] source photos for this composition. Here's what we need: A) Greek columns, high-res, including either the top or bottom of the pillar, straight-on / dead-on perspective, no angles. B) A photo of a lake or body of water, with as clean a horizon as possible (eg., if there's only sky above the water, perfect, or a flat color above the water ,perfect. If there's a lot of different colors above the water's surface like trees etc, it will be too hard to work with.) The photo should be mostly water. E.g., something like: http://flickr.com/photos/rashid4u/2885932926/ (NOTE: this one isn't the right license so we can't use it) C) A Spartan boat (see Luya's picture for the type), preferably shot from above so the camera is looking down on the boat D) Clouds - a nice clean shot of some dramatic clouds E) Olive trees, a full tree without much noise behind the branches and leaves so it can be cut out cleanly. Flat/level perspective preferred, but a from below perspective or from above perspective could be useful too. F) Vase (see Luya's sketch) For each photo you find, write down: 1) the URL you got it at 2) what license it is under 3) the author of the photo 4) if the photo isn't up somewhere online (eg from your personal or a friend's collection), upload it to the wiki and provide that url. Thanks in advance to any of y'all who are interested in helping out :) For an extra incentive, I'll ship out a packet of Fedora stickers and some other goodies to the person who sends in the greatest number high-quality and usable photos. ~m [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Artwork_F11_greek-concept_mockup2_mo.png [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Sketch_greek_field.png [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses_3 *MUST* be one of these licenses or public domain From rpeterso at redhat.com Mon Feb 23 22:06:27 2009 From: rpeterso at redhat.com (Bob Peterson) Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 17:06:27 -0500 (EST) Subject: Help out with the f11 wallpaper?

So what do *you* think? It appears to be our best solution so far and something completely different from what we had in the past. We are taking a huge bet here, a lot of our users will be happy with the change and a lot will be unhappy (but I have no idea which camp will be bigger in numbers).

I think you were on the right track when originally requesting "either the top or bottom of the pillar". If we have the columns like in the mockup, starting from outside of the image and ending also outside the image, is quite obvious they are not integrated in the image and were added with GIMP. For a good integration they should have a little distance from the viewing plane to see how they stay in the ground. > Maybe have some temple in the hills across the water? That could work. We would have to take care about the mist: the hills are blurry due to the distance, so we will have to apply some blur to the temple too. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ From nicu_fedora at nicubunu.ro Fri Feb 27 08:18:19 2009 From: nicu_fedora at nicubunu.ro (Nicu Buculei) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:18:19 +0200 Subject: Help out with the f11 wallpaper?

Unfortunately, we are in GIMP, doing 2D raster operations... what you say would be relatively easy to do in 3D graphics, but not so in our case: casting light will create shadows, changing the light angle will change the size and direction of the shadows... I have no idea how to do this in 2D. Also look at the columns: they have a lighted side and a shadowed side. The light direction and intensity is pretty much fixed, otherwise we are going dangerously close to http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/ -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ From mairin at linuxgrrl.com Fri Feb 27 14:49:19 2009 From: mairin at linuxgrrl.com (=?iso-8859-1?Q?M=E1ir=EDn_Duffy?=) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 06:49:19 -0800 (PST) Subject: Help out with the f11 wallpaper?

I took out the large framing column because neither the top or bottom was in great shape. I might spend some time fixing up the bottom of the column and add it back though. Instead I swapped in a temple image I've been working with: http://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/8/8d/Artwork_F11_greek-concept_mockup4_mo.png From nicu_fedora at nicubunu.ro Fri Feb 27 15:12:01 2009 From: nicu_fedora at nicubunu.ro (Nicu Buculei) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:12:01 +0200 Subject: Help out with the f11 wallpaper?

Also, keeping any detail objects on the right side seems to support the setup for most Fedora desktop environments. -- Paul W.
