There is also some (not much, I am not that popular) feedback gathering on my blog comments: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/07/artwork-for-fedora-12-alpha.html > * Tatica's "four foundations mosaic" has a clean design, not too > overloaded.

It is also one of the very few close to what we said is wanted for a default: vector format. Still has a less-than-ideal size for tiles (too close to the icons size) and my use some "bling". > * Tatica's "Pruebas" design is great, the buildings take a bit too much > space but well, it's an alpha design.

But we want the pack of 4 additional wallpapers to bring a breath of fresh air, so if it goes there being less blue is not a problem. > * Nicu/Mo's Underwater mosaic designs are the most generic (in a good > sense) and best design ideas IMO.

However, I found the result a bit too blurry and wondered if this is because I resized the photos (reduced with and height in half so they don't take too much space on the web hosting and can be downloaded reasonably, while still having a large resolution). Then I had to study the GIMP source to find which photos were used exactly (wow! intense photomanip there Mo, hats off!). If really big (12MP) photos are needed, I have them available. > * Jayme Ayre's blue Constantine also has a great potential.

I am not worried about the connotations, I just find it too direct but I also like the colors a lot. > I didn't chose most of the other themes for one simple reason: too > overloaded. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
