Drupal Art

Hi Guys,

Sorry for being gone for a long while. It's been pretty rough lately here in my country and I hope everything is still in good shape after all those natural calamities.

For almost a year that I've been designing art inspired by Drupal, one application is always there for me -- Inkscape.

This map has a Drupal icon for iceland: http://tinyurl.com/57r8tw

It works in FF3 but not in Safari. Does anyone have some time to try to suggest a new icon so we could make the map markers all Drupalicons.

This may be useful: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/articles-customicon/custom...

Drupal droppie for the Drupal babies.

Level of cuteness can be improved for that long lasting awe factor.

<-- Zarabadoo's idea.

Mine:

Yet another Drupal baby ...

Can you guess who the parent might be?

Clue: View it!

Ok, icon drawing time! Here's my suggestions for some specs and guidelines to get started with. All feedback welcome.

In the attachment:

• an icon template file for Inkscape
• basic directory structure for organising and categorisation of the icon sources and png renders.

The directories are mostly empty, but have a look in the applications and the mimetypes folder, there are SVG files for:

• forum icons
• calendar icons
• mimetype icons (with PSD sources for 16 and 32px versions which are actually further developed then the SVG!)

Drupal Dojo guy in action.

The next generation of Dojo masters are coming.

Cypress Interactive is looking for a hardworking utility player with hands-on scripting, HTML experience and a strong sense of clean design. The ideal candidate will possess the ability to create web content independently often from pre-developed designs produced by a graphic artist. This position requires strong web production and design skills, technical savvy and great attention to detail.

The successful applicant will also possess:

• A BA/BS or equivalent experience
• Strong communication skills
• An ability to work collaboratively

Community plumbing is still not over. Now we've got more power.

I have made buttons for drupal.org users, to point to theirs profiles.

Licensing and legals issues are becoming increasingly important for our project. This year the Drupal Association picked up 2 board members who expressed an interest in working on legal issues. I'd like to lay down some "Dos and Don'ts" to help guide future work and make sure that existing work is on the straight and narrow:

1. When you start with another piece of artwork as the base, check the license of the work you are using before you begin. If it's not stated, ask the owner and assume it is not available for re-use.

I modeled the druplicon in Blender.
Here are some first shiny renders:

The female counterpart of the Drupal Ninja.
I know it's too pink and too "girl-ly" (I guess I'm not good at women's taste :p) ... the sakura is the inspiration for this one.

Kudos to Brenda Boggs.

Hey folks,

I have created the Installing Drupal 6 video in preparation for D6's release. Once we officially release D6 we will need to add a banner pointing to the video in the spotlight block. I am not of the digital art persuasion so I'm asking for help. Basically it just needs to be something along the lines "hey people, we have a video that shows you how to install Drupal 6. w00t!" but ya know, not so verbose. ;-)

I believe the only real requirement is to be the same size as the other images in rotation. Here are some examples of other banner images used:

This the premiere of the Drupal comic strip .
I intend to share all the joy and pain in my journey with Drupal through this comic strip.

I hope to tackle Drupal issues, community concerns, violent reactions, and other miscellaneous stuff that can be drawn.

We're having a design contest for the Drupalcon Boston 2008 logo! The winner gets the pride that comes from seeing their logo used on the conference t-shirt, and in promotion on the Drupalcon site and elsewhere.

There is very little time left before the conference, so the contest has a short fuse.
Entries must be submitted by January 25, 2008!

Here's a Zen-inspired wallpaper:

Part of the usability efforts is coming up with some Drupal specific icons. Icons show up here and there in Drupal core but more often in contributed modules. We should try to connect and align these efforts. Make them more consistent in application and look/feel.

Styleguides and design tips:

It's a great idea to start the art group! We're looking for a Drupalikiwi for Drupal.net.nz if anyone feels the creative urge. Kiwi's are a NZ icon.

Note that the fruit that some people refer to as 'Kiwi' is actually 'Kiwifruit' and that a Kiwi is a flightless bird.

See these links for Kiwi motivating images and details;

Hello all.

Here's my attempt to make a Drupal wallpaper.
I can't find any wallpaper resource so I tried to make my own.

I did not know that Drupal could look this good...

muy suave!

Ever wanted to see Druplicon wearing a cap? Then you've come to the right node!

Here he is...
