Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Re: [libreoffice-design] Motif draft

Hi Ivan and Design!

Today is the last day for adding motif proposals to the Wiki page;
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Motif

I've added mine (at the bottom). And a very hasty description because 
I'm running short on time.
Mainly, my theme centres on the "collaboration/community" aspect. And 
some exploration of the clipped corner.
Most of my shapes occur in "six-sided configurations" to reflect the 
writer/calc/base/draw... apps.
Good luck with your own proposals. Remember, they don't have to be 
perfect, they just have to be ready enough to be voted on.
We can refine them as a team a little later.

Hopefully we can stick to the proposed timeline and go to a vote end of 
this week.
now for some feedback....

That's cool, I can totally imagine this in a letterhead and a whole 
bunch of other formats, especially if used as a narrow strip.
You actually managed to skilfully combine the application colours, which 
inspired my own attempt at mastering composition of the application colours.
And you used a TEXTURE really well, something I'd like to see more of, 
because texture says so much by impeding so little.

If you manage to make a Bokeh motif work, and we complemented it with 
bokeh photography, that would make for AMAZING compositions!

Thanks for pitching in during your busy-season Ivan.
And I too am looking forward to what gets made by the crew?
Head on over to the Motif page to catch up on what's happened so far;
