| graphical guidelines / icons / templates |

| AuniMame did it! (Thank You) |

|Maybe something like the icon you see when shutting down your XO (second row, second from the left --> XO with broken display and wrench). Actually maybe two icons, one optimized for black and white (print) reproduction and one for color (--> print media and Repair Shop web sites). And some guidelines on howto create a flyer that quickly establishes a visiual link to the XO project. Maybe even an iconic sequence reflecting the http://www.laptop.org homepage theme but using only three symbols instead of four: The - broken - XO, the arrow, and a wrench (leaving out the '1' on the left). Or just create something you feel fitting.<br> |

| Current [http://olpc.osuosl.org/templates/subSilver/images/menu_icons/icon_calendar.gif style]. We could really use some improvements on the following 5 icons: Forum / Live (IRC) Chat, volunteer global map, current events, support portal. |

| Icons; 15x15px transparent PNGs. |
|||
|| |
|||
|| I would like XO icons with a couple different basic color combos. Volunteers, Developers, Translators, Educators, XO Users, etc... Pictures should be 15x15 pixel, transparent PNGs. [http://www.bassface3d.com/phoogle/map_marker_tut.html The map marker guide] explains it all. |

|- |
|||
| [[Simplified user guide]] graphics |
|||
| Black and white or greyscale graphics of the XO to explain tasks with pictures instead of words. Top priorities are images <s>showing the opening and flipping of the case, turning it on, charging the battery</s>, plugging in peripherals, and <s>a graphic of the XO created so that screenshots can fit into the graphic</s>. |
|||
<br> Additional requirements and more requests are here [[Simplified_user_guide/Art_needed | SUG Art Needed]]. See [[user:Annegentle|Annegentle]] [[user:Sethwoodworth|isforinsects]] . |
|||
| Graphics: EPS or JPG, with text layers. |
|||
| [[user:leejc|Jon Lee]] and [[User:Gryphus|Gryphus]] have given us wonderful images. There are still more that would be appreciated - plugging in peripherals, such as perhaps using the tablet and/or an accessibility device. This would make a wonderful portfolio piece for someone. Please help. |
|||
| There are several sample photos of the approximate areas we are trying to describe, in the laptop wiki. The general concept follows the Pixter manual's style as shown in [http://www.fisher-price.com/inst_sheets/H4651a-0920.pdf this PDF]. |
|||
The tool used for creation doesn't matter as much as the ability to reuse graphics in print or web, such as both EPS and JPG. Ideally it would be a program that uses layers for easier editing later. Especially important: text later separaable from the graphic for translation. There is further information about graphics formats for OLPC on [[choosing image formats]]. However, please keep in mind that we'd like to use these for print output, not just online output |

Xavi points out [[Munsell]] with a palette! :) A richer palette would be nice. We don't need to use Munsell's colorspace-smushing coordinates. There is also a Munsell color table in the sugar source. |
