Release artwork process

[Martin Sourada]

Hi all,

based on a discussion in another thread, I've put together a skeleton
DRAFT of our new release artwork process [1] so that we have something
to work with. I was pretty brief with the wording, so it will probably
need an expansion. Feel free to add your comments/edits/... :-)

The ultimate goal is to get it finished and officially accepted sometime
around FUDCon so that we can start on next release using this new
process.

I think it would also be useful to also keep release specific sub-pages
with exact dates and perhaps a task list (can be a reference to a
milestone in our ticket system) included.

I see you consciously changed "general audience" to "men audience", I

think is better with "general". Why? because it is not really targeted 
at men, just at our general audience (which happens to be > 90% men, but 
this just happen to be that way)

Er... that was rather subconscious... Some thought shortcut: "women and
children are covered, what remains are men". Feel free to correct it
back to the "general audience".

Changed.
When we label it as "for men", there is an unwanted connotation like

I would include links to previous release years work, not so much for ideas
but for examples of shape/size. I would also add any specifications needed
such as: 'A banner must be n X n pixels in dimension, or a fixed ratio of
that'. This way when designing, noobs like me can know roughly where to
start.

We have a page with specifications but it is old and in certain places 
obsoleted: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ThemingOverview

There is also a list of graphics created for F11, which is I believe 
pretty accurate: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F11/RC

Hi,

I've updated the Release artwork process page [1] in accordance with the
fedora design team schedule for F12 [2]. Feedback welcome. If there are
no concerns with the page, I'll undraft it later this week.

It would be probably nice to fill in the tasks into our trac instance
[3] (under 'F12 Artwork' milestone or something like that) and link to
it as well so that people would have a better idea about current
progress and what still needs to be done.

Thanks,
Martin
