Fedora-art-list Digest, Vol 36, Issue 6

Thu Mar 5 15:34:11 UTC 2009

Just a quick unrelated question. Is it too early to suggest ideas for fedora12?
I have also done an animation course, is there anyway that I could help out with this? Or any other design projects I could help with?

I think we can go with one of those for beta, my option would be for on 
*with* a temple (Betamockup1_wide_right.png).

There are a few things I am not happy about, like the grass not being 
green enough and the sky being more cyan than blue, but there is time 
for those after the Beta.

It started out a lot more green & cyan (see Mola's original mockup,
bottom here: http://mola.fedorapeople.org/gimp/view/)

But trying that as a wallpaper, it was way too intense and contrasty /
distracting for a wallpaper. :(

Hi Mo,

I've put them to a rpm package [1]. I'll submit it for inclusion in
fedora later if you find it good.

I know Mola's images, we talked about them on IRC before he mailed to 
the list.

You are right, Mola's colors are too saturated and won't work for an 
usable desktop (and also don't look very natural either).

I tried a quick trick starting from one of Mola's images (attached): 
decreased the saturation and increased the lightness a bit, the colors 
are closer to what I have in mind (but I should have applied the 
lightness/saturation operation separately to the grass and sky).

The hard reality is an wallpaper like this will be inevitably compared 
with the default Windows XP wallpaper, which had set a standard in 
people's minds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Windows_XP_SP3.png

But as I said in my previous mail, those are small details we can worry 
about post-beta.
