Design (draft)

This is a draft
This update to the design team page is a work-in-progress, and will change.

About Us

The Fedora Design Team is Fedora's in-house design agency. We provide artwork, user experience, usability, and general design services to the Fedora project.

Our current team goals:

• Template and Automate - Generate templates, standards, and automation where possible for more efficient and consistent artwork production.
• Increased focus on UX/usability - Increase the amount of UX and usability work we provide to the Fedora project through both more efficient usage of current designer time and also better recruitment of UX/usability team members and better documentation of UX/usability tasks and processes.
• FLOSS Creative Tool Education & Outreach - Continue to use the very same free and open source creative tools available in Fedora to design for Fedora, and increase and improve knowledge sharing with the general FLOSS community.
• Clear Priorities - Strive to be more selective about our focus as a team and set clear priorities so the things that are most important to Fedora are done in a timely and organized manner.

Portfolio

New GetFedora Website

TODO: Need some more info on what was done, links etc. Was it F12's cycle? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign

New Fedora Labs Website

The Design Team provided a brand new design for the new Fedora Labs website that showcases targeted functional spins. These spins focus on specific groups of applications that a particular user would want to install e.g. design, robotics, science, etc. The team provided mockups and website design input.

Fedora Badge Creation

[Fedora Badges] is a fun website built to recognize contributors to the Fedora Project. The Fedora Design Team designs and create the badge icons visible on contributors' profiles. Examples:

• 

  10 cookies received

• 

  10 runs of kernel regression testing

• 

  2000 commits to Fedora Doc repositories

Anaconda Re-do

TODO: There were blog posts and mockups/screenshots, should get those and link them. Provide a timeline and explanation about what was done. Does pointing to the existing wiki page suffice or is it outdated? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign

Fedora Release Wallpaper

Each Fedora release receives a refreshing new default wallpaper. The Fedora Design team brainstorms ideas and iterates through various drafts until the final wallpaper design is delivered. Examples:

• 

  Fedora 18

• 

  Fedora 19

• 

  Fedora 20

Fedora Supplemental Wallpapers

Each Fedora release includes a collection of selected wallpapers contributed by the Fedora community. There is a submission and evaluation process managed by the design team. The final selected wallpapers are distributed with the release for everyone to use on their desktops.

• 

  The Way (gnokki)

• 

  Caracol Falls (nonamedotc)

• 

  Swimming by the Falls (kirkb)
