=== Banners, Posters, T-shirts ===
[[User:tatica|Maria Leandro]] posted<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00012.html</ref> on @fedora-art a banner idea for FUDcon LATAM "I was working on some ideas for a banner that we want to use on fisl 9.0 ( FUDcon Latam ) but I know that I have some mistakes with the logo guidance and the tm background" which quickly received a round of improvements from [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]]<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00013.html</ref> and [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]]<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00017.html</ref> helping Maria to reach a better version<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00041.html</ref>.
In reply, [[User:jaymeayres|Jayme Ayres]] came with his own design<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00019.html</ref> "as we have several spaces in the event, Maria Leandro and I are thinking of doing some different gear" and Nicu, even if not from LATAM, felt motivated<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00035.html</ref> to try his own poster concept "It looks like you will have a lot of eye candy and make me feel bad for being lazy and not implementing a few ideas buried deep in a corner of my head".

In parallel with the posters "ping-pong", [[MolaPahnadayan]] proposed<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00018.html</ref> a lion themed T-shirt design. Later [[User:ianweller|Ian Weller]] proposed <ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00050.html</ref> a "splatter" t-shirt design, for which [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] tried<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00057.html</ref> her own variation "Here's some alternative ideas to get the same kind of look/feel without buzzing the logo so much."
=== FUDCon T-shirt ===


From the T-shirt talk a question was raised about the proper way to write the fedoraproject.org website address on such materials and it was answered<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00047.html</ref><ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00048.html</ref> by [[User:pfrields|Paul W. Frields]] "We do put 'join.fedoraproject.org' on our DVD/CD media, so we might want to remain consistent by using that URL. But I think leaving off 'http://'; is fine" and "I also think using 'fedoraproject.org' on its own would be fine."
[[User:emichan|Emily Dirsh]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003702.html</ref> a T-shirt design for the Tempe FUDCon "It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once lived in the area" and after an initial warm receive<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003703.html</ref> from [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] "Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it!

=== Wallpaper with or without the Lion ===
=== Design Team Blog ===
 
[[User:rodrigop|Rodrigo Padula]] expressed his dissatisfaction<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00063.html</ref> with the lion graphic not being visible in the single screen of the wallpaper for Fedora 11 (editorial note: the lion is currently used as a kind of Easter-egg for people with dual-screen setups) and called for a different way of decision-making "My sugestion isn't to 'voting on every bug and issue that comes up', but voting on artwork options for every Fedora Release to take a direction (not a final decision), to have feedback from the people that spread and use Fedora around the world. [...] For me this decision impacts all users/contributors/ambassadors, but the decision isn't clear and isn't open!" while [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] pointed<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00067.html</ref> to the specific mailing list threads where the issue was discussed and underlined the need of a decision making and its downsides "There is no way to satisfy everyone with the artwork. When one person is happy, there are 5 others who are upset about it."


[[User:mspevack|Max Spevack]] defended Máirín's position<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00089.html</ref> "Mo has said it correctly. The purpose of Fedora is not to vote on all sorts of things. The purpose of Fedora is to provide a leadership model for individual teams to take ownership of tasks, and work those tasks to completion in an open, inclusive way. Discussing which of several options is 'most right' is perfectly fine, but in the end decisions are made by the people in the teams who are directly doing the work, or those who are active participants" and [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] tried a compromise<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-May/msg00084.html</ref> "here is my proposed solution, hope the schedule still allow it: include the right screen (the lion head) in the default package, so those wanting it don't have to download additional stuff, have only to click on 'Change Desktop Background' (as we had with the temple image)."
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003716.html</ref> a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."

Design

In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1].

Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei

FUDCon T-shirt

Emily Dirsh proposed[1] a T-shirt design for the Tempe FUDCon "It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once lived in the area" and after an initial warm receive[2] from Máirín Duffy "Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it! I would love a shirt with that design in it!" she followed[3] with a couple of variations "Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color." Jef van Schendel also proposed[4] a few remixes "Here's a few quick and dirty stabs at a dark shirt version".

Design Team Blog

Máirín Duffy announced[1] a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."
