bersacekwwii: hi02:04
bersacekwwii: you should use the same logo for splash too02:05
kwwiibersace: sabdfl wants me to use the official logo02:05
bersace?02:05
bersacewhat is the official logo ?02:05
bersacewhy only on the session splash ?02:05
kwwiino idea why, but that is what he wants02:06
bersacethe one on the stickers ?02:06
kwwiiyepp, the one with the lozenge behind it02:06
kwwii(since it is shown on a darker background)02:06
bersacewell, i don't see a lozenge behind the stickers i have02:19
kwwiilol02:19
kwwiiwell, it could also be the simple logo, but the white thing behind it is imprtant if it is shown on a darker bg02:19
kwwiiperhaps I could include the normal logo without the white part02:20
kwwiihaven't tried that yet02:20
kwwiiwhen I showed mark the first version (with the 3d logo from gdm) he said definitely not02:20
bersacethe truth is that the gdm logo does not fit well on that tiny size02:31
troy_smore of the same02:51

troy_sgreets all03:17
clahey troy_s03:21
clayou are leader, yes?03:21
troy_suh no03:22
troy_scla what is your question howevr03:22
troy_scla i can probably help you.03:22
clai would like to get involved in artwork for other distro, so i would like to know from more experienced how to start such project03:24
troy_sI am pretty certain that you ask a question that _everyone_ would have an 'answer' to.03:27
troy_sMy personal feeling is that you should probably model your workflow on techniques that are tried and true in the 'other' world :)03:27
troy_sGrab a good book and start with that.  Deal with the critical elements out of the gate (concept/audience) etc.03:28
troy_scla:  Does that help?03:29
clai would rahter want to get some ideas03:30
clabecouse my artwork is generally wallpapers and/or icons03:31
troy_sIdeas pertaining to what?  Concept?  Etc?03:31
claso i would like to know what more can be done03:32
troy_sWell again, everyone has their opinions on it.  Personally I would start with the critical two points:03:33
troy_s1) Who are you speaking to communicate with?  Who is your audience?03:33
troy_s2) What do you seek to communicate?03:33
troy_s2 is tricky -- as when you say something like 'cool' or 'blah', you often need to ask further questions as to 'how' to communicate such a loose term.03:34
troy_sPull in some examples from other disciplines that you believe 'speak' close to what you want to communicate and see what techniques / tricks they are using and consider them for your project.03:34
clamhm03:35
troy_scla:  I would strongly recommend a good introductory art and design book if you want to take this sort of thing seriously.03:35
clathat's why i came here03:35
troy_scla: Bear in mind that Ubuntu does not do this ;)03:35
clatroy_s: well, graphic is my hobby03:35
troy_scla: So read everything I type with caution.03:36
troy_scla: If you want to see what some would consider a decent attempt at such a process, have a look at the newer Fedora work.03:36
troy_sIt uses the motifs of night and balloons with Diana offering a bit of her communication goals by basing the theme on those two motifs.03:37
claok03:37
troy_sMotifs, to many, are a critical element of design.03:37
troy_sThey are used in traditional design, film making, sound design, etc.03:37

alefterishi everyone, how can i stroke the page in inkscape? for example make a 1px border inside the page area..11:36
alefteristroy_s, hi11:40
TheSheep_alefteris: is it a trick question? rectangles generally work fine for that...11:42
alefteristhought it could be an easy way to do it :) how can i make a rectancle fit exacly the page area and then stroke the inside by 1px?11:43
TheSheep_alefteris: well, I'd use large zoom when adjusting, maybe enable snapping to grid too11:44
alefteristhanks TheSheep_11:51
