F27 Costeau Inspiration

[Mary Shakshober]

Hi Design-Team! 
I've done a little digging on Jacques Costeau (the STEM innovator that
is serving as inspiration for the F27 wallpaper), and made a pinboard
of some images that I think represent a good direction to move towards
in terms of the design. Costeau was as French undersea explorer of the
mid 1900s, and his underwater exploration is what he was best known
for, so I think that some sort of an aquatic theme would be fitting for
this project. The pinboard below is comprised mostly of underwater
images with interesting bright blue/ dark blue (almost black)contrast
as I think something like this would fit in quite well with the
previous Fedora wallpapers.

I love these inspirations.  I also think it would be a good idea to
avoid the final product being too close to the Fedora 9 wallpaper:
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wallpapers#Fedora_9>

That being said, it was one of my *all time favorites*!  I'm sure
there are directions to go with this theme that can complement the
collection rather than rehash it.

Also Fedora 16, which was code-named "Verne" and had submarine-inspired
wallpaper. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wallpapers#Fedora_16

Also, some of the rays-of-light motifs remind me of the F14 look, too.


Not complaining, just noting. :)

just a few things, the guys name is */Jacques/* Cousteau 
<https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=Jacques+Cousteau&spell=1...

and the 1900s was not last century ;)
Have the same hints as Matt, I actually decided for Cousteau becaus we 
seem to have better ideas with "underwater" and "space" as with steam

punk, the verne wallpaper was once a chance to do something steampunky 
and we came not up with something.

I like from yours this the most.

we could play with the fish swarm for it:
