This page reflects the current work in progress Ubuntu Studio 8.04 artwork. If your a user who would like to post your art please do so in our [wiki:UbuntuStudio/Artwork/UserContributed User Art] section. This page is for official 8.04 proposals. Please don't edit until I remove this message. BR BR With the Hardy version of Ubuntu Studio we're hoping to really so something different. This is a idea we couldn't quite do justice with for Gutsy so we decided to wait and open it up to everyone for Hardy.

This page and guidelines will continue to evolve over the next few weeks or so as we're starting this process really early and will still need some time to clearly convey what we're going for. Once they are a little clearer we will post to various mailing lists and Ubuntu Forums. Anything that's felt to not stick to the guidelines will be removed.

Concept

We want to create a D.I.Y. punk/indie/metal/whatever feel with Ubuntu Studio-Hardy. That kinda distressed, show flyer look. Attached are examples of flyers and a show pic to try to convey to you the feeling/emotion that goes into this scene. Anyone "in the scene" I feel will get this right off the bat.

General Rules/Guidelines

In my head it doesn't use gradients. Solid colors. (but I'm totally open to some use. just have to see it.)

• Final art will be chosen by the Ubuntu Studio dev team with great consideration for the community's opinion. (most likely expressed through a poll on the Ubuntu forum.)

• All submissions must fit the design concept.

• NO GLOSS!!

Look N' Feel

Logo

This is almost final and I will handle this exclusively. SVG coming soon. BR attachment:v3_proposed.png

Color Palette

This palette is what was used for Feisty/Gutsy. BR attachment:u-s_palette.png BR Here are the palettes that were used for Feisty/Gutsy. attachment:u-s.gpl BR GIMP (put in ~/.gimp-2.2/palettes/)BR Inkscape (put in ~/.inkscape/palettes/)

BR So I know there's alot of greys there that can be paired down. The palette is really a list of colors used in the gtkrc. So I'm open to some possiable additional colors.
