== File Formats ==

 * Use PNG format for bitmap files (ie any files in which fewer colors are repeated throughout, especially when the colors are in large blocks). Use JPGs for photos and final images in order to reduce the file size, as this format can cause visible compression artefacts.
 * Make the XCF source files available, if you happen to work with GIMP
 * Use SVG for vector art.
 * Work generated with proprietary applications like Photoshop and Illustrator is acceptable, but files in their formats are useless for many of us. To avoid compatibility issues, you are STRONGLY encouraged to use F/Loss tools such as those so abundantly available in Ubuntustudio! Consider Blender, Darktable, Gimp, Inkscape, LibreOffice Draw, Krita, Mypaint, etc.


== Templates ==

Both have a 2560 x 1600 pixel canvas to use the largest commonly offered resolution, currently. "Passepartout" layers allow to see how things will look when this space is cropped to conform to other common aspect ratios.

This simulates the effect the "Style: Zoom" setting in "Appearance Preferences: Background" will have: the image is scaled up or down such that it fills the screen without distorting it. If the aspect ratio of the image is wider than that of the screen, it will be scaled to the same height and the areas on the side will be cropped. If the aspect ratio of the image is taller than that of the screen, it will be scaled to the same width and the areas on top and bottom will be cropped.

Design Guidelines & Resources

This information is meant to provide guidance and resources to users who want to submit art to Ubuntu Studio or related projects. If including a logo, failure to use any logos other than those supplied here will result in automatic disqualification as it will constitute a violation of the Ubuntu Brand Guidelines.

File Formats

  • Use PNG format for bitmap files (ie any files in which fewer colors are repeated throughout, especially when the colors are in large blocks). Use JPGs for photos and final images in order to reduce the file size, as this format can cause visible compression artefacts.
  • Make the XCF source files available, if you happen to work with GIMP
  • Use SVG for vector art.

  • Work generated with proprietary applications like Photoshop and Illustrator is acceptable, but files in their formats are useless for many of us. To avoid compatibility issues, you are STRONGLY encouraged to use F/Loss tools such as those so abundantly available in Ubuntustudio! Consider Blender, Darktable, Gimp, Inkscape, LibreOffice Draw, Krita, Mypaint, etc.

Templates

An SVG template for use with Inkscape and an XCF template for GIMP. Both have a 2560 x 1600 pixel canvas to use the largest commonly offered resolution, currently. "Passepartout" layers allow to see how things will look when this space is cropped to conform to other common aspect ratios.

This simulates the effect the "Style: Zoom" setting in "Appearance Preferences: Background" will have: the image is scaled up or down such that it fills the screen without distorting it. If the aspect ratio of the image is wider than that of the screen, it will be scaled to the same height and the areas on the side will be cropped. If the aspect ratio of the image is taller than that of the screen, it will be scaled to the same width and the areas on top and bottom will be cropped.

Content Rules

Do not break or bend the Content Rules!

  • No illustrations some may consider inappropriate, offensive, hateful, tortuous, defamatory, slanderous or libelous.
  • No sexually explicit or provocative images.
  • No images of weapons or violence.
  • No alcohol, tobacco, or drug use imagery.
  • No designs which promote bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against groups or individuals; or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.
  • No religious, political, or nationalist imagery.

Composition

  • Generally logo use on the wallpaper is discouraged but tastefully done exceptions will always be considered.
  • Avoid high frequency images. ( A soft focus is one way to achieve this )
  • No version numbers. Some individuals may desire to use an older theme, or use the latest theme in their older version of Ubuntustudio. Let your submission be about choice and do not use version numbers in your artwork.
  • Generally avoid text, it calls for attention too much and will likely look bad when scaled. Plus it can't be translated easily.
  • Be careful with small patterns, they might become uneven when scaled.
  • Consider how the wallpaper will interact with the panels, icons and windows.

Constraints

  • The final dimension should be 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K resolution).

  • Submissions must adhere to the Creative Commons ShareAlike 3.0 license, and your emailed entry is presumed to comply with this license.

  • Attribution must be declared if the submission is based on another design.

Screen Resolution and Aspect Ratio

It is important to note the diversity of displays which Ubuntustudio needs to support. Although the desired image format is 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K resolution) the composition should support a variety of image formats.
