Hi everyone,
I took up this ticker after the meeting today:
"Need a background for the @fedora twitter account."
https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/136
Right now, it has the regular wallpaper as a background image, but it
doesn't tile (see http://twitter.com/fedora).
I took the wallpaper sources and gimp'd a smaller, tileable image:
http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/TwitterBack/back.jpg. You can see how it'll
look here: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/TwitterBack/backgroundTest.htm
I tried to keep it kind of bland, so it doesn't distract much and tiles
nicely without looking weird.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions/ideas?

Looks great, well done! I think we need to step up our presence on the
microblogs. Already talking to the Marketing Team about that.... :)

I like what you did, is simple, clean and effective and is not strictly
tied to a release, is generic enough that we are not *forced* to change
it every 6 months.
However, I think I would like the image Just a little bit darker, so the
contrast is slightly increased.

I agree. I actually made it on my laptop screen which has its colors messed
up, so it looked a bit darker.
Then, I tried it on my main screen and it looked *really* bright blue. A bit
too bright. :)
I'll tweak the colors a little, see what works best!

I have the same problem with my netbook and learned to not rely on its
color representation.

I've made it slightly darker and a little closer to the official Fedora
"Dark Blue": http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/TwitterBack/back2.jpg
Example: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/TwitterBack/backgroundTest2.htm
I've also mailed the Marketing mailing list to see what they think and if
they have specific wishes.

I don't see anything in your wallpaper ... is just blue with fine sand ...
It's correct ?

Yeah, I've seen the wallpaper concepts.
I didn't put anything in the wallpaper on purpose. It's a part of the
official F13 wallpaper with the stars, which I made tileable and the correct
color. :)
I think anything more complicated will be distracting on the microblogging
sites (not to mention unnecessary). I tried some out and it didn't look
good.

Cata, doing the graphic like this was agreed at the recent IRC meeting:
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-06-22/fedora_design.2...
- please join us for the next one.
