There are two separate things we're discussing here. One is the workflow to create distro artwork for major releases. What you've described isn't currently how things are done, but there might be some potential in it.
Yes. I haven't found such a procedure published anywhere so I am inventing my own one and sharing it with you in the hope of being useful. The fact that you see potential in it is motivating.
The second is for users contributing background designs, sticker artwork, etc. This doesn't seem to fit into your described model at all.
I really would like to know what reasons made you think this (i.e., that I am not driving my proposition in a base of users contributions)? I do want to correct any issue in this area. Have you any suggestion?
This sounds like a 'best case' plan that doesn't really reflect how people are contributing. Going back through several months of artwork contribution, it seems you're the only one even close to doing it this way.
It is true, sadly. So, is there any workflow available that I am not aware of? For example, where are the sources related to CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 artworks? Who designed and currently maintain them? Where is described the artwork build process? Is the CentOS Artwork SIG really having something to do with it?
Also, graphic designers can contribute describing visual manifestations inside idforge-models-centos package. The work of graphic designers if very very important and we need a community effort from them in order to succeed in our goal of providing a brand new visual style for the CentOS Project corporate visual identity, acceptably in time.
Agreed, which is why I'd very much do not want to inflict needless workflow.
Could you please list concrete facts so I can implement concrete solutions? I am wondering now what is the CentOS Project direction in the artwork area? Is there any workflow public that I can use as reference to base my propositions on? Where is it?
I would like to be useful for CentOS Project just as it is to me. I cannot donate money or hardware but my free time only. Whatever consistent proposition you (or other) might have to me, will be heard.
In the hope of being useful, --al.
