Self-organized design

Everybody is free to do design for yunity, which includes the following tasks:

• create new logos for yunity and sub-projects
• create fonts
• create images for social media
• create websites using the yunity name and a logo
• create images derived from the yunity logo
• draw wireframes and mockups
• ... and more

Central repository

Published design source files (images, posters, movies) should be stored in a central repository to enable easy collaboration. A design source file can be easily edited, while some export formats are harder to edit. Export formats are sometimes easier to use, so please also publish them.

Examples:

• Publish vector graphics along with their raster graphics
• Publish a layered image file along with single layer image
• Publish movie project files along with the rendered movie

Location

Wiki design section: https://yunity.atlassian.net/wiki/display/YUN/Design+Team

Small files (Guide: less than 500 MB) can be directly uploaded to the wiki (drag and drop in edit mode)

Bigger files (e.g. movie projects) could be uploaded to Slack (2 Terabytes of free storage) or another hosting service (Google Drive, OneDrive, MEGA, etc.) and linked in the wiki.

File Formats

We prefer file formats which are well supported by open source software. Examples: SVG, PNG, JPG, GIF

We avoid proprietary and patent-protected file formats, as they hinder collaboration. You are free to use them, but please keep in mind that other creative people won't benefit from your creation as much then.

If you created a design file using proprietary software, please also publish it in an open format.

License

All the files for yunity will be published in CC0 or the least restrictive license available, as decided here.
