> Hello from Costa Rica,

> As requested, I've added one more splash screen about the control center. I
> updated the screens to fit in 457x308. And also I removed the dots so you

> My idea when making the screens was to take the user by the hand and show
> him or her the great options that Mageia has to offer: a community that he
> or she can join, the idea of freedom of choice and the availability of
> applications for everything needed (drawing, office suites, Internet, etc).
> Thru the screens I try to convince the user that Mageia is the best choice.
> The design I use is based on the Mageia 1 interface, and give them some
> modern look and feel. To create them I used a little bit of Gimp and mostly
> Inkscape.

> Just to clarify some things, I didn't know that you already have some
> splash screens, I was finishing one social network monitoring project and
> can't follow all the threads. If you want to use them I'll will be glad and
> honored.

> This is what I tried to get Gaula to make as an example for the idea:

> 1. Esteban's blue border with the Mageia logo on the right, going across
> at the bottom of the image.
> 2. Guala's CD image on the left, with the normal original Mageia logo
> that says Mageia and has the logo, or maybe the transparent logo
> instead, in the CD itself at the top.
> 3. Esteban's information graphic with the installer text, in the centre
> of the image or where it looks correct, taking up quite a bit of space
> 4. Gaula's Cauldron image on the right or where it looks correct.
>
> I also had the idea for the CD to use an official Mageia 2 CD, but we
> don't seem to have one at the moment so hmm.

> The artwork freeze is meant to be tomorrow, but it seems going by
> Wednesday's packaging meeting that it may be ok to delay it a little bit
> if necessary. It would be good to have these installer slideshow images

> Good artwork in my opinion is very important to have in a Linux
> distribution, one reason I don't like Ubuntu that much anymore since
> 10.04 (or when it was in development sometime), because I really dislike
> the newer branding, with the exception of the newer logo, but there was
> much more to it than just that, Gnome 2 patching and so on.

> Also I really like the Mandriva 2010 series branding for example, and

> distros.

> For Esteban's text I think it could do with some improving, not sure

>
> The most powerful tools that's an opinion not a fact, and companies do

> the best, when that is an opinion. So for that text this would be
> better instead: Included in Mageia are powerful tools to create raster
> and vector graphics, and 3D animations such as The Gimp and Inkscape.
> Well The Gimp comes by default I think, but not Inkscape? Altough to get
> round the what comes by default, can say what's available instead.
>
> All the tools are available in Mageia for working with documents, and
> spreadsheets, that's not really true, So this would be better text
> instead for that image: Working with documents, spreadsheets or
> presentations in Mageia can be done using tools such as LibreOffice.
>
> Websites, e-mail, feeds, chat or ftp; Mageia includes....

> Need some changes for that text as well, ftp should be in capitals, and
