Hey folks,
So it looks like we need a banner for the front page of FPO for the F9
launch. I think Ricky and tw2113 were working taking screenshots of F9
for the website. Do you guys have those screenshots publicly accessible
somewhere? I'm thinking we could use them for the banner.
Which size?
Our tagline is: "Fedora 9. Make Waves."
A couple of ideas for the main banner layout to correspond with this:
1) Have three screenshots that are all shined-up and blinged-up in three
portal things with small, glowing pieces of sulphur surrounding them.
Think three bottles of cold brew in ice, except the gleaming sulphur
crystals are the ice and the screenshots are the brew. :) Pro: blingy,
easy to do quickly. Con: Tagline is about waves, and this emphasizes
sulphur.
The screenshots are places in some perspective planes, and they and the
sulphur crystals stay on a water surface, so have reflections and maybe
produce some waves.
2) Have three screenshots emerge from the water in a dark cave-like
environment (ala
http://www.simplenomics.com/wp-images/beowulf'sangelinajolie.jpg). The
edges of the screenshots are glowing and cast bright reflections in the
rippled water. Pro: fits with tagline, blingy. Con: Might take longer to
do.
I think that may be a little to complicated to do and do not fit the
look of the rest of the page.
If we keep the banner text-free (no translations to worry about) then we
can just have the byline run along top the graphic in plaintext.
Yup, text-free, otherwise you will feel the pain of translations :p
Whatchu think? Any other ideas?
I am for using a simple, clean image, more like your first proposal than
the second.
How about something like "people"? I think something like a photo of a
group of Fedora contributors, wearing Fedora t-shirts, maybe holding
Fedora CDs showing their happiness (partying?). I know it is hard to to,
as it require planning, access to people and props but lately I think
more and more about showing the faces of people behind Fedora.
