The ones -with pictures were made at 256x256, then shrunk to have text added. - -Background grey is V74. -Red for buttons is 135,13,13. - -Red background for web is 80,0,48 - -CD player buttons based on font wptypographicsymbols, point size 28, -placed at 5,2. - -Text is lucidafax demibold italic at point size 8. - -blank.xcf -- blank with correct background colour. - -Some icons I drew, some I stole from free sources. - -"Favicon" ident icon for web page: made from a 16x16 scaled down image of -the general, making background colour transparent, save as gif then: - convert pgminia.gif pgminia.ppm (ImageMagick) - ppmtowinicon pgminia.ppm > favicon.ico -Seems to work (but would be better to create both 16x16 and 32x32 sized -icons in file, for desktop links). -See http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/Author/dhtml/howto/ShortcutIcon.asp -and http://www.favicon.com - - - -LOGOS -===== - -Original text logo: - -script fu -> logos -> comic book - - StencilBT font - Browns gradient - 40pt Text size - 4pt outline (NB: size of both black and shaded portion) - -Then I filled background with web page colour, and shaded portion -with green colour. - -New text logo: same font, but made in blender file. - - -Proof general logos -=================== - -Web page: scene with canvas backdrop. Render in blender at full size, -then use gimp to scale to web size (250pix wide). This gives much -nicer result than low-resolution render: textures are smoothed out -more prettily. - -EPS (doc/ProofGeneral.eps): For texi documentation. Used another, -wider image with alpha channel to (attempt to) leave background white -on printed page. Post processing with gimp to add fuzzy border and -white background since eps (gimp?) can't handle alpha channel. - - Width 5.00 " - Height 7.87 (wrong, obviously: 3.48 is right by scaling) - - But: this is *page* size! The image size itself - was square, I think. - Size of tiff image is 904x903. - - X-offset 2.8 " - Y-offset 1.0 " - Rotation: 0 - -Actually, Y-offset seems to have no effect on page position: what -happens is that TeX compensates for the offset when it inserts the -image! Changing the offset and retexing puts the image back where TeX -wants it. Probably same true for X offset. - -Solving the size problem: original .eps is 8.4M. (Original xcf file -is missing/not saved). - -Test procedure: - - 1. render at 239dpi (original file seems to have 1200x1200 image in - it, this is closest I can get, makes 1199x1199 image). - 2. save as pnm (gives 4.1M file) - 3. Run pnmtoeps with -rle argument to get run length encoding. (4.1M) - 4. gzip -9 -> gives 1.6M file. - -Just using gzip directly gives 1.6M file anyway. -tiff is 1.5M. png is 1.2M. bz2 is 1.3M. - -Okay, so we'll distribute the original .eps file, gzipped. -(It gets compressed inside the tar file anyway, of course, but -leaving it zipped is less polluting). - -Badges -====== - -These were cut out from a close-up view of Proof General's chest. |
