Open-source really delivers. > NEW UPLOADS HERE: http://fedoradesigns.twohotis.fastmail.fm/ Hello Onyeibo Oku, thank you for your contribution! Many thanks for the other suggestions as well. This is a wonderful first project for me to contribute as I think there will be immediate value to end users. Unfortunately my first post http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-September/001041.html wasn't complete. I just emailed logo@ to get a proper SVG logo for using with Scribus. The 1.3.3 version I'm using has trouble with the non-standard SVG that I downloaded from http://fedoradesigns.twohotis.fastmail.fm/ - I think in part because the images are not embedded. The source files would be very helpful. Using Inkscape 0.47 I get the following errors: ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: /home/t2hot/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_083418.png ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: /home/t2hot/Documents/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_085318.png ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: /home/t2hot/Documents/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_085504.png ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: /home/t2hot/Documents/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_091443.png >nicu wrote: >> Please also include the source files, so other people in the team can >> work with them, build on them, make derivatives.

I have successfully used many paper sleeves for myself and others. The designed should be easy to create without using any glue, staples, tape, scissors, etc. The folding design shown http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2005-02-13_oragamicdholder.php is excellent. One note on this artwork is that the fold and how to open the sleeve is needed as end users can be baffled by the sheer cleverness of the folding design the first time they see it. When I am using the CD as a guide to fold and writing the cover by hand I usually put "open here" on the lip of the paper where the flap folds into. I will begin work on a new design including all the feedback so far. Having a design that can be used across different versions of Fedora will be helpful for volunteers so that new artwork will not be required for each release, though of course derivatives are possible with each release's artwork. I did not see a clear place to create a wiki page below https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork so I created this page which I hope will be moved to some place more official later. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Grantbow/DiySleeve I look forward to working with you, Grant Bowman https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
