This ticket is originally from Gitlab, see here: https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/release-artwork/default-wallpaper/-/issues/30
Project filed by me

A Beta wallpaper should be in the same format of the final wallpaper, and essentially just the rough draft.

  • Mid-April is when our final beta wallpaper should be done!
  • The recommended wallpaper dimensions are (old dimensions were 4096×4096px) (source) 6k square 6144 x 6144px.
  • Use only Open Source programs like Blender, Krita, Inkscape, Gimp, etc.
  • Please post both a screenshot or bitmap export of your work AND the source file.
  • For example, post both a *.blend Blender file and a PNG render so we can see what you did.

I guess as I'm working on the wallpaper, I'm torn between how close to reference Enigma's gears, references from online below, and leaning away from the exact layout of them for something more visually appealing and complex. The first reference photo is just one lump that doesn't evoke much movement or thoughtful composition. If I were to stay on the path of more explicitly referencing Enigma's gears, I like the idea of an expanded approach like the second reference, but from a different, less head-on perspective.

I've played around with my very basic knowledge of Blender to try to make some gears, with the goal of a 3D reference for figuring out the composition.

needs review

Needs research
 A ticket that someone new to the team could complete, but will require them to get some help/background.

Well-documented
 A ticket that someone new to the team could complete and is well-documented.

  
points
01
 A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  
points
02
 This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  
points
03
 Medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  
points
05
 A significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  
points
08
 Complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  
points
13
 Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint and should be broken down.

  
Priority
High
 This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed next sprint. It's often for tickets that are time-sensitive, align to Fedora Strategic Initiatives, or is a leadership request.

  
Priority
Low
 This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  
Priority
Medium
 This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  
Status
Backlog
 Items that have been triaged and that we aren't actively working on.

 Items being actively worked on.

  
Status
In Review
 Ticket is awaiting review by a team member or the requester.

  
Type
Epic
 Large initiatives that are broken down into multiple smaller work items (user stories, tasks, bugs). Epics represent significant features or projects that span multiple sprints.

  
Type
Request
 A ticket related to an incoming external request (not filed by a designer.)

  
Type
Sub Epic
 A smaller segment of work that falls under a larger epic, helping designers break down complex tasks into more manageable parts.
