[[JarodWen|Jarod Wen]] started to work on a set of CD and DVD sleeves for Fedora 10 "The style of the design follows the previous version used in Fedora 9. Most of the sources used in these design are from the source of Solar theme of Fedora 10" publishing a first draft[1] to @fedora-art. As first reactions, [[IanWeller|Ian Weller]] stressed[2] the importance of using the MgOpen Modata font "[...] as that's the font that Fedora uses for pretty much everything in their designs"

A concern about the number of colors was raised by [[RahulSundaram|Rahul Sundaram]][3] "IIRC, the number of different colors shoots up the printing cost of the material drastically" and [[PaulFrields|Paul Frields]][4] "Make sure that the printing of the design is going to be a reasonable cost for the Ambassadors bulk-ordering the discs.  If there are any sort of color restrictions, we should get those figured out up-front" but was cleared[5] by [[MairinDuffy]] "Actually you don't have to worry about this for the sleeves. It is only the disc designs themselves that are color-limited because of the screen printing process used to print them."

Another concern was raised by Mairin about the use of potentially tainted older version of the Solar theme "That is the old one, so you shouldn't use it. Please don't use any images from round 2, only round 3", a problem quickly corrected by Jarod in a second7] and third[8] drafts.

Also Paul proposed[4] the addition of an informative text "For Live CD, include a small bit of information about how to use the media: `This disc contains a complete bootable Fedora environment. To use it, make sure your computer supports booting from its CD or DVD drive.  Then insert the disc, turn the computer's power on, and follow the prompts.  If you enjoy this Fedora environment, you can copy it to your computer using the desktop 'Install to Hard Disk' icon.  For further assistance, visit help.fedoraproject.org'". The proposal was followed[9] by a comparison between SUSE and Fedora sleeves from [[JohnPoelstra|John Poelstra]]: "Here is an interesting comparison I noticed at OSCON this year after stopping by the SuSE booth [...] I realize there are differing philosophies as to how much or little content should be on the cover and what it should say :)" Nicu also offered[10] his opinion regarding this comparison "Maybe *I* am not the target audience[1], but I do not like the SUSE cover, its too busy, with so much text that is simply makes me to not read it. Only the 'Novell' word grab my attention, but not too much. It's boring and a 'corporate' look. I like how from the first look I can understand that the other disc is a DVD and is Fedora. "

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."
