Problem Statement

The Ubuntu community desires to create a high quality Linux Distribution which appeals to a wide variety of user lifestyles and personal preferences. To aide in meeting this objective a selection of alternate wallpapers is shipped by default which is readily available through the "Appearance Preferences" dialog.

Goal(s)

The goal is to solicit graphic designs in the form of illustrations to be used as wallpapers from the community at large targeted to defined roles and market segments.

Assumptions

  • The Unity desktop, classic desktop, and humanity icon themes will be used
  • The collection of classic desktop themes may include themes which are generally described as light and themes which are generally described as dark

Design Inspiration

Regardless of the role or inspiration, the desired result of the successful submission will render feelings which may be described as light and bright.
