Re: f27 beta wallpaper Meeting

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi Matthew,
We did not have the amount of time we typically have (paired with a substantial workload for Flock despite having much of the design assets initially complete in April and May, trying to avoid what ended up happening with it taking over the summer) but we did in fact have open discussion on this design, we started with a poll for the theme then a collaborative pinboard and a few iterations on the ticket. This is really an alpha wallpaper and will be refined for final; it was put together quickly so we had something for beta.
We do not use the wiki for managing this process and have not for some time.
We've been doing this a very long time and appreciate your trust in our proven ability to produce a quality collaboratively-designed product once more.
Cheers,~m

Hi everyone. I didn't see any discussion on the list about the new
wallpaper for F27 beta, but I see that this hit the bugtracker:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489160, and I went ahead
and put it online here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F27_Artwork/Submissions
since it wasn't already.

MediaWiki renders the SVG wrong. The SVG also crashes geeqie. Maybe it
   can be simplified? Click through to download the original SVG.
Anyway:

It's got a jellyfish swirl kind of thing going on, in line with the
earlier-discussed aquatic theme. It seems like a good start, but I'd
really love to see this get the kind of collaborative refinement and
discussion we had here for the last one.

To me, there are two main concerns with the current image are:

1. I think the jellyfish are too bold for a great default background
   image; they're kind of busy and distracting rather than fading
   into the.. background. Maybe something like the fog in the F26
   background could help?

2. Also speaking of the F26 background, which I've earlier mentioned
   that I love... based on discussion here about the importance of the
   community working together to make the new backgrounds, I'm happy to
   see a new one developed, but I'd really like to see it kind of
   visually flow from the F26 one. Someone commented to me on Flock
   about the F26 background: "It really seems like Fedora is developing
   a distinct look, not just putting up a random image." I'd like to
   see that continue. How can we bring that into this image?

@duffy, is this next wallpaper still open to designs on the theme? If so, where would I submit them?

Absolutely, the Pagure ticket is the place.

For everyone else - Kyle and I had a discussion in IRC last night about different visuals / ways to iterate on the wall paper and push it more. We went through the pinboard and talked thru some concepts. Im excited to see what he comes up with!

Cheers,
