Esteban's blue border with the Mageia logo on the right, going across +at the bottom of the image. +2. Guala's CD image on the left, with the normal original Mageia logo +that says Mageia and has the logo, or maybe the transparent logo +instead, in the CD itself at the top. +3. Esteban's information graphic with the installer text, in the centre +of the image or where it looks correct, taking up quite a bit of space +4. Gaula's Cauldron image on the right or where it looks correct. + +I also had the idea for the CD to use an official Mageia 2 CD, but we +don't seem to have one at the moment so hmm. + +The artwork freeze is meant to be tomorrow, but it seems going by +Wednesday's packaging meeting that it may be ok to delay it a little bit +if necessary. It would be good to have these installer slideshow images +in Beta 2 which is meant to be released on March 15th, but I would +rather have the images delayed until the release candidate for example, +than have a rush job. + +Good artwork in my opinion is very important to have in a Linux +distribution, one reason I don't like Ubuntu that much anymore since +10.04 (or when it was in development sometime), because I really dislike +the newer branding, with the exception of the newer logo, but there was +much more to it than just that, Gnome 2 patching and so on. + +Also I really like the Mandriva 2010 series branding for example, and +the 2010 distro versions themselves. The branding alone was enough to +make me install Mandriva and be happy with it compared to many other +distros. + +For me default looks are very important when it comes to Linux +distributions. + +For Esteban's text I think it could do with some improving, not sure +about saying that it's made by a community of free spirits, but that's +probably ok really. + +Also some of it sounds way to company like, by for example saying that +something is the best well kind of for example: Included in Mageia are +the most powerful tools to create raster and vector graphics and 3D +animations. + +The most powerful tools that's an opinion not a fact, and companies do +this, try and make people think their product is the most powerful or +the best, when that is an opinion. So for that text this would be +better instead: Included in Mageia are powerful tools to create raster +and vector graphics, and 3D animations such as The Gimp and Inkscape. +Well The Gimp comes by default I think, but not Inkscape? Altough to get +round the what comes by default, can say what's available instead. + +All the tools are available in Mageia for working with documents, and +spreadsheets, that's not really true, So this would be better text +instead for that image: Working with documents, spreadsheets or +presentations in Mageia can be done using tools such as LibreOffice. + +Websites, e-mail, feeds, chat or ftp; Mageia includes.... + +Need some changes for that text as well, ftp should be in capitals, and +what kind of feeds? Also again like with the documents Mageia does not +include all the applications for this. Like with the other images should +provide some names of the software available. + +Personally I would like to have correct and 100% truly honest installer +text in the slide show :). + + From Sebastian sebsebseb +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001053.html">[Mageia-artwork] [Mageia-marketing] Splash screens ready +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001055.html">[Mageia-artwork] [Mageia-marketing] Splash screens ready +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1054">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1054">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1054">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1054">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-artwork">More information about the Mageia-artwork +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
