=== Counting Down to Fedora 13 ===
=== FUDCon T-Shirt Design ===


[[User:inkscaper|Alexander Smirnov]] created<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002053.html</ref> a complex and ellaborate count-down banner for the upcoming Fedora 13 release "I upload sample image to wiki and concept in the form of animation to my fedorapeople space" and [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] offered<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002055.html</ref> a number of improvements in the text "f you have the rocket launching, maybe you don't need to say 'launched in', you can just say 'X days' so translators only need to translate 'days' and you don't have to worry about running out of space for the translation as much."
[[User:marcusmoeller|Marcus Moeller]], one of the organizers of the upcoming European FUDCon asked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002076.html</ref> for a T-Shirt design "As this years EMEA FUDCon will happen in Zurich we would be very pleased if you could helps us desinging a Logo/T-Shirt", [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] highlighted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002080.html</ref> a few technical constraints "a small number of colors, the number of color will directly affect the price, 2 colors would be OK, 3 colors would be high and we can use 4
only if our sponsor agree; - no small details on the design: small details are hard to print cheaply, the clouds design had *too small* letters and we had problems with printing" and [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] pleaded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002082.html</ref> for a beautiful design "We should make something that someone would want to wear even if they
didn't know what Fedora was - then they will start a conversation with the T-shirt wearer - 'where did you get that shirt?' which opens up the opportunity to sell Fedora :)"

=== Preparing Beta Artwork ===
=== Fedora 13 Wallpaper ===


As [[User:poelstra|John Poelstra]] reminded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002060.html</ref> about the upcoming schedule and deadlines, [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] noticed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002061.html</ref> the team is behind it, and proposed to use the Alpha artwork in the Beta release "Considering we are way pas the deadline for finalizing the Beta wallpaper and very close to its package deadline, I propose that if we nobody propose an improvement in the next 24 hours, we go for Beta (and most likely final version) with Rocket Trails 2 that was already used for Alpha". [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] agreed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002062.html</ref> "I should like to add that the Alpha wallpaper is awesome albeit rather lowish resolution and is missing dual screen versions" and offered to package it "I'm ready to do the packaging work as soon as I have the necessary sources" while [[User:pfrields|Paul Frields]] talked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002064.html</ref> possible future enhancements "If we want to take another stab at the wallpaper for post-Beta/GA, I know that Mairin Duffy had collected some constructive critiques." [[User:kristho|Kris Thomsen]] showed availability<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002066.html</ref> to work on splashes, which are derivatives of the wallpaper "I can try to do the firstboot/anaconda banners".
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] posted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002112.html</ref> another iteration of the wallpaper for Fedora 13 "I tried flipping the original vertically but it looks really odd. So I made another from scratch" and since other overdue tasks depends on this item, later she proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002136.html</ref> going in parallel with the development and basing those on the Alpha design "Since the wallpaper is taking a bit longer than anticipated, and since it'll look very similar to what we already had for the alpha anyway (same colors, same texture, maybe composition a little different) would you mind starting on this design now, and we can swap out the screenshot showing the wallpaper (should you choose to use one) later on, so at least the basic framework of the banner is in place?"

=== New Mist Icons ===
=== Website Banner ===


[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] submitted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002069.html</ref> an addition to the default Fedora icon theme "Lapo has created some new Mist icons very recently and was wondering if we could get them into F13" and [[User:mclasen|Matthias Clasen]] pointed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002069.html</ref> to a small packaging problem "Mairin, these look indeed great. But we'll need at least the folder icons in the same sizes that they are present in the gnome icon theme, or things will look bad at different zoom levels in nautilus" which was quickly corrected<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-March/002070.html</ref>
[[User:fabsh|Fabian A. Scherschel]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002151.html</ref> a first proposal for the banner to be used on the website for Fedora 13 and asked for feedback "I especially want to know if the second rocket replacing the number one in 13 is too much and/or if it is too hard to grog at first sight." [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]]
<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002152.html</ref>, [[User:pfrields|Paul Frields]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002161.html</ref>, [[User:shnurapet|Misha Shnurapet]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002154.html</ref> and [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-April/002158.html</ref> provided ideas "I really like the angle you've got the screen at; it's an inviting angle, it makes you feel drawn in. The coloring and lighting is perfect."

FUDCon T-Shirt Design

Marcus Moeller, one of the organizers of the upcoming European FUDCon asked[1] for a T-Shirt design "As this years EMEA FUDCon will happen in Zurich we would be very pleased if you could helps us desinging a Logo/T-Shirt", Nicu Buculei highlighted[2] a few technical constraints "a small number of colors, the number of color will directly affect the price, 2 colors would be OK, 3 colors would be high and we can use 4 only if our sponsor agree; - no small details on the design: small details are hard to print cheaply, the clouds design had *too small* letters and we had problems with printing" and Máirín Duffy pleaded[3] for a beautiful design "We should make something that someone would want to wear even if they didn't know what Fedora was - then they will start a conversation with the T-shirt wearer - 'where did you get that shirt?' which opens up the opportunity to sell Fedora :)"

Fedora 13 Wallpaper

Máirín Duffy posted[1] another iteration of the wallpaper for Fedora 13 "I tried flipping the original vertically but it looks really odd. So I made another from scratch" and since other overdue tasks depends on this item, later she proposed[2] going in parallel with the development and basing those on the Alpha design "Since the wallpaper is taking a bit longer than anticipated, and since it'll look very similar to what we already had for the alpha anyway (same colors, same texture, maybe composition a little different) would you mind starting on this design now, and we can swap out the screenshot showing the wallpaper (should you choose to use one) later on, so at least the basic framework of the banner is in place?"

Website Banner

Fabian A. Scherschel proposed[1] a first proposal for the banner to be used on the website for Fedora 13 and asked for feedback "I especially want to know if the second rocket replacing the number one in 13 is too much and/or if it is too hard to grog at first sight." Nicu Buculei [2], Paul Frields[3], Misha Shnurapet[4] and Máirín Duffy[5] provided ideas "I really like the angle you've got the screen at; it's an inviting angle, it makes you feel drawn in. The coloring and lighting is perfect."
