Artwork

In this section, we cover the Fedora Artwork Project.

Banners, Posters, T-shirts

Maria Leandro posted[1] 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 Nicu Buculei[2] and Martin Sourada[3] helping Maria to reach a better version[4].

In reply, Jayme Ayres came with his own design[5] "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[6] 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", Mola Pahnadayan proposed[1] a lion themed T-shirt design. Later Ian Weller proposed [2] a "splatter" t-shirt design, for which Máirín Duffy tried[3] her own variation "Here's some alternative ideas to get the same kind of look/feel without buzzing the logo so much."

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[4][5] by 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."

Closing to the Release

With the Fedora 11 closing, Clint Savage checked[1] the status of the CD/DVD sleeves, "so with that, I'd like to get the conversation started and see what we want to do for the sleeves, design wise" for which Paul W. Frields expressed[2] his preference for including a lion "since it won't generate any usability problems, I'd like to request that the lion appear on the sleeve. :-)". Paul also asked[3] about a Fedora 11 specific Plymouth plugin "Was there a Plymouth plugin being created or reviewed for F11? I seem to recall Charlie producing something but wasn't sure about the status", which according to Ray Strode[4], the main Plymouth developer, is still under work and its availability is not certain "I've been working on coming up with something the last couple of days, but it may be too late for F11 at this point, so we may end up with spinfinity. We'll have to see how it goes down."
