We need a wallpaper for Fedora 25.
Back at the design FAD it was discussed to start following a theme for the wallpapers going forward. It was decided that the progrssive theme would be Inventors, and choose an inventor with a name that is next in the alphabet. Since this is the first time we have done this, we are starting with "A". Note that this is not a codename for the release, just a theme that we can use to brainstorm and develop ideas for the wallpaper.
maryshak1996 and gnokii have done some research, (and have reported back to the mailing list) and the two inventors on the short list are: Archimedes and Richard Arkwright.
'''Archimedes''': a mathematician, involved in the invention/ development of levers and pulleys, invented the Archimedean screw --> abstract spiralized screw/ implying motion
'''Arkwright''': the debated 'father of industrial revolution", pioneer in the spinning industry --> wheel- inspired wallpaper

Here is a quick idea using some dots placed on a spiral: [[Image(dotsonspiral.png, 100%)]]
Here are some of Mary's mockups... https://marygraphicdesigns.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/f25-wallpaper/
Here's a nice clean version of the concept that I think I am going to move forward with: an SVG is also attached (apologies for all of the previous trials basically being backed up to the negative space in the document...) [[Image(wallpaper_natural spiral 5.5.png)]]

just made a slightly different iteration of the design above (cleaned up some of the lines, and made a few alterations to the gradients involved). Here's the PNG of the updates: [[Image(wallpaper_natural spiral 5.6.png)]] I made it the wallpaper on my laptop temporarily too to see how it looks applied in the intended fashion; here's the screenshot: [[Image(wallpaper 5.6_screenshot.png)]]

I am loving this latest iteration! We should bring this up on the design-team list and see what other ppl think.
@duffy, Great! Ya definitely, I'd love to see what other people are thinking of this latest version!
I saw all parts from your last svg file. I like more the flowers fractall way. Why? Because this spirals is too much: point to point into the screen for user eyes. Also you can take a look at my http://www.openprocessing.org/user/57450 - some sinusoidal net with lines. Good work also.
New version looks better as the ideas before but there is still a lot of work to do and we running out of time!!!

Luya packaged this for us and it's in time to make beta hopefully - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1378971

Next step is to refine the design for final!
I've worked a bit on cleaning up quirks in the design for alpha and final packaging! I've added a slightly different background behind the spiral design and added a number of different gradients overlaying the design [[Image(f25 wallpaper_alpha_attempt1.png)]]

I'm attaching the zip of all of the files for alpha release (folks on today's design team meeting seemed pretty cool with the current design)
attachment f25.2.zip
This is done and shipped! Closing. Great work, Mary!
@duffy changed the status to Closed
Closed
Oh, do note the final version of the wallpaper is in #490, available here: https://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/f25/f25-backgrounds.tar.gz
This version removes the gradient banding. Will ship as a 0day for F25.
