Hi,
We have put on the wiki some workarounds about CentOS image rendering, a proposition to manage translation in a common point (using svn), and a new motive design (for CentOS 5.3 maybe).
Also:
- the wiki theme has been updated. - a trac theme has been created. (for our project trac site) - a new browser default page is proposed. - customized apache errors design is proposed to install on our web servers. - some minor modifications to the default Apache test page is proposed. - some powered by CentOS images were created.
Here is the work, for your consideration (see Miscellaneous section):
http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork
Could it have a space on projects.centos.org, and a svn repo for others to collaborate ? what we need to get it there ?
Note: We are still working on this, we put it online for you to test and if possible receive some feedback of how make this more useful and to keep focused on what we really need. If this is completely useless say it too.
Please, any comment, suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, al.

First thanks for the reorganization of the content and the additions. Concerning the new 'Flower Tree' design, I would personally prefer if you could leave out the bright white overlay and just keep the light blue forms. (like on the centosX-grub-splash-2.svg)
Maybe you could also reduce the number of 'swirls' on centosX-anaconda-header-2.svg and on centosX-anaconda-firstboot-left-2.svg.
Keep on your good work. Marcus

Thank you so much for answering Marcus.
Lets give it a try ... I'll create a new template set to draw your idea. Then they will be released in the Main tar.gz file for you to see.
Remember that you (and everybody) can change the actual templates to make whatever design you want to.

It will be included in the above template set too.
Keep on your good work. Marcus
ok ... want to mention that my actual reference is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ArtWork . Hi MairinDuffy, your work is a guide to me.
The next we are planning to do (after get something to show to Marcus) is The CentOS CD/DVD Media Artwork. Ideas are already welcome :).
Karan: I have not forgotten Mantis site design.
Note: If someone have already rendered something with render.sh, would be nice to hear it. Ideas to improve this are also welcome.
Cheers, al.
Dear Alain.

I have noticed that you have updated the wallpapers.
Remember that you (and everybody) can change the actual templates to make whatever design you want to.
I personally prefer wallpaper 3.sed which now looks very clean and professional

Maybe you remember the Infinity design from Fedora8 which is my favorite:

But your one is also great.

TuxBrothers already designed good looking Media Artwork for CentOS 4 and 5:
http://www.tuxbrothers.net/site2/e107_plugins/wrap/wrap.php?1
We could take this as inspiration for the upcoming version.
Best Regards Marcus

Sounds good! one thing that would be nice is to get more people involved with the artwork side of things, ideas on how we might be able to do that are quite welcome! I feel you are really working quite hard on this, a bit of help would be nice ?

Yes! That would be really nice. We can see people making templates for CentOS with really cool designs and adding them to our rendering system ... and developers using a local working copy of the rendering system to get images from those templates.

sounds interesting. Let me see if I can get an updated artwork rpm into testing so people can look at it.
- the wiki theme has been updated.
- a trac theme has been created. (for our project trac site)
Let me see if we can massage that into our trac instance as well!
- a new browser default page is proposed.
I like this, will be rolled into the next browser updates.
- customized apache errors design is proposed to install on our web servers.
Prolly need to consider this one a bit.
- some minor modifications to the default Apache test page is proposed.
- some powered by CentOS images were created.
Sounds good, we should prolly all start using these as much as possible :D
Could it have a space on projects.centos.org, and a svn repo for others to collaborate ? what we need to get it there ?
Talk to me, I can get the things setup.
