Hy all, my first idea was also "we live in 2008 and not 19xx .... " but thats another thing ;-) But I also has the thought if we can't think a bit bigger for FC10?! This is the 10th Version of an Operatingsystem. 10th Anniversery. We have a one and THEN the null behind. We have decades going forward... So just some thoughts/ideas we could have: - collect all the (unpublished) Artwork of the years and put them together - ask VIP's (let your imagination flow who this could be...) make some Artwork - put in some photos as backgrounds, maybe from big events or meetings... - other ideas... So, any comments on my ideas? sincerly Henrik Heigl // wonderer @ fedoraproject.org // Jason Benedict Low schrieb:

Hy, Ok. We are here on the Marketing list. If I think of Marketing I have ONE great picture, One theme, one of the main Wallpapers, one Logo brand, one main-Theme i can use for a Campain. E.G.: see sony ( http://www.gearfuse.com/sony-to-unleash-magical-mystery-product-on-monday/ ). I think with a good Artwork there can be also a good Marketing around that. See BSD with a small Comic, music, Poster, etc. around a new Release. If I saw the Artwork I think it looks very good, but the fedora Logo seems often only be pasted in a ready made Wallpaper or background someone have fond elsewhere on the Internet. How about a Slogan to the "10th Anniversery" or so? How about to put in the Keywords we have or work the pics around these words? Nicu, you mentioned in another Link I followed: http://molaora.com/index.php/photos/album/6/photo/3.html i see in this picture an Apple Add or maybe the Ubuntu-Style. This are all Campains that are out now. Maybe there are other ideas around that ... just my 10Cents... Yeah, but that was also a major structure change. I think Fedora has "only" a major Release ;-) ... so I thought. I think every Artwork-Designer has some scribbles and unfinished work collected over the years ;-) ... maybe it is time to get these out of the box :-) I wrote that on the artwork list so far. I don't want to annoy anybody! I only thought of to have some people like maybe Doc Baumann, Linus Torwalds, Mark Shuttleworth, etc. to make some scribbles or so and the Artteam can work something out. maybe FC10 can have 12 Wallpapers or Themes or so. That can be all fit together. I see no problem in that to have one or two realistic Photo-Wallpapers or so in the set... I have done this yet, thanks. But this can also be a Marketing Topic. It all fits maybe together... best regards Henrik Heigl // wonderer at fedoraproject.org //

Sílvio Reis wrote: I understand (and I also understand that some of the current proposals are not that good) but saying this on the marketing list is really of little use. If you say something like "the image X from the proposal Y has a nice concept but the colors are to vivid for an effective wallpaper, please try a less saturated version" on the Art list, where the author can read your complaint, then it is a completely different game (and he are happy to receive such comments). I believe you understand all those proposals are "round 1" material, they are supposed to change a lot until the final release (and only a few will survive to round 2). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro

I know for the artwork I did for neon, I meant the artwork to give an overall feel for the idea I was going for, and not to be straight examples of wallpaper backgrounds. In parts of the artwork that are not the background wallpaper, sometimes high-contrast is okay. Remember that for round 1 the sketches are just that, sketches, to give you an idea of the concept and are *not* a final, perfectly rendered finished product. ~m

Dudes, remember that we are talking about just ideas and concepts, none of the art shown is a final runner for our next wallpaper. 2008/7/15 Jeff Spaleta <jspaleta(a)gmail.com&gt;:
