I suggest something similar that Victor Vasarely made in > his marvelous paints Vasarely's artwork is interesting, but I am concerned because a lot of it creates visual movement / interference which on a desktop is pretty distracting. The desktop should fade into the background, not draw attention to itself. Having movement of this type of the screen can be distracting and disorientating; it can make a user feel dizzy. I do not think we want those effects from our background. >, or VamosArt creates online and combine with our > fade thing. I think these are neat but am not 100% that the mechanics would work on a screen. These kinds of images rely on physical space that we don't have - we have a flat screen. E.g., here is the intended viewing angle of one: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/683946/thumbs/s-CHALKSNAIL-large640.jpg?4 But change angles and it looks like this: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/683947/thumbs/s-CHALKSNAIL2-large640.jpg?4 We don't have angles within the desktop to make an illusion like this work, as I understand how this works. Part of the illusion is the juxtaposition of a drawn object with correct shading / lighting / perspective in a real environment. I suppose we could mimic the effect by drawing/modeling a 3D like object within a photograph using the same perspective lines as in the photograph; I can't think of any other way of acheiving something like this. If you have more concrete ideas on how this would be possible in the context you're suggesting, I would be interested to see them. For the specific idea above, we'd need some theme / ideas / content that would fall along the lines of the themes we pursue in Fedora's artwork (generally relating to technology and nature.) ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list -- design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to design-team-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
