Illustration Wrap Up

[sudara]

Now that contributor images and most of the "reward vs. punishment" big images are done, we are down to the small stuff!

Sudara

• [x] Export other illustrations to correctly sized png
• [x] Determine whether or not we need to redraw or color the IslandUke image re: expected size on home page (Sudara task)
• [x] Determine what other "about" illustrations are needed

Alec

• [x] Down for maintenance "reward vs. punishment" page
• [x] Remaining forum images 1) "Gear Talk" and 2) "Making Music" which is sort of a general music process/chat. I think we will use "MicChords" gnome for 1) and "Vinyl" or "harmonica" gnome for 2). Could also use announcement gnome for 2)
• [x] Deliver TIFF version of IslandUke, optionally with any changes (color accents?)
• [x] "Privacy" gnome. Could just be a sheet of legal paper gnome?
• [x] "Help!" gnome. Could be panic or being calmed.
• [x] Rework 'fly-swatter' gnome or give approval on sudara's altered square version.
• [x] Deliver TIFF of missing gnomes that we know and love, specifically alonetone-headded gnome, tuning fork gnome, harmonica gnome (might want to use this one on the forum)
• [x] Optional: more "smoke" on the 500 page so it goes offscreen and/or fades out...See screenshot https://github.com/sudara/alonetone/pull/950#issuecomment-564782453

I think the island Uke will work if we can keep it this size, checking with @smoofles if he has opinionz

[PhaseSevenComics]

Wait! I gotta redraw the alonetone logo for the sun. Gotta represent that smooth new whole note! I can update it in any of the spots that also use it (on a few gnome heads, I think?)

Thanks so much for this list! I'll try to have everything wrapped up by the end of this weekend.

Ack, sorry for misrepresenting in the mockup — the old logo is still used on the white theme, and we plan to keep it that way. New smooth/flat whole note is used only on dark theme.

I thought color might be nice on the island image? Though not 100% sure that would make sense on the dark theme...

Thoughts?

[PhaseSevenComics]

Oh, okay! Yeah, I like the idea of color for this one (subtle, just a few shades). Maybe send me high-res versions of both logos so I can fold them into the design?

[sudara]

@PhaseSevenComics

Sounds good!

Light: https://alonetone.com/images/alonetone-logo-2000px-square.png Dark: https://github.com/sudara/alonetone/files/3952603/alonetone_logo_dark.svg.zip

With the design above, light theme background for this area is #E6E8E8 and dark theme is #1D1B1B

[sudara]

Got a question on one of the forum images. I'd love to use fly-swatter gnome, but we'd need it to be square.

This might work, but if you prefer to redraw as a square, lemme know! I like the idea of the forum being 100% gnomey. :D

[sudara]

Looks like it might also be nice to get TIFF versions of gnomes on the loose, such as harmonica/alonetone-headded/tuning fork gnomes!

I updated the todo lists :)

[sudara]

Oh, and while I'm pummeling you with email notifications:

We were randomly wondering if you have any experience exporting this kind of illustration as svg. Seems like the gnomes would be a good candidate for vector export, which would make them very lightweight and easy to toggle color via css. But maybe it just looks like that would translate to svg easily, but in reality because the lines are all hand drawn, it would be a complex large file....? No stress on this, mainly curious since we've worked a lot with svg recently.

/me goes back to exporting pngs out of photoshop...

[sudara]

Woo!!!!
