The Amarok Live team is searching willing artists for the artwork of version 1.4 of their famous Amarok Live CD. Amarok Live is a live cd system based upon PCLinuxOS, shipping latest major version of Amarok bundled with free music and optimized for ultimate rediscovering of music. It is meant for everyone who's not able to install a system which is supported by Amarok and therefore this live cd is a essential medium for convincing people to use Amarok and one of the supported operating systems, such as Linux. Latest version 1.4 is still missing artwork though, which is the only reason for release delay. So if you want to support the Amarok Live team and speed up release of Amarok Live 1.4, have a look at the Amarok Wiki. There you can find a list of images missing and what to take care of when doing artwork for Amarok Live. Submissions are allowed until September 1st. If you have skills in raster or vector drawing, read further information in the Amarok Wiki

A wallpaper should:

-be consistent in terms of style with the other desktop artwork.

-appear rather neutral in terms of taste. In other words a default wallpaper should be appropriate for both corporate and home use.

-use the current Oxygen color palette.

-not be distracting. This means that it shouldn't be too colorful and shades shouldn't change too rapidly. This is especially valid for the upper left area.

-be designed with the desktop icons and the kicker in mind. Ideally a default wallpaper should show just a single color on the upper 30%, the left 30% of the screen and the kicker area. The reason is that people place their icons in these places and having a single color without any other shapes and picture elements makes it easier to recognize them. Simplicity in these areas is very important.

Splash Screens give us something nice and informative to look at while KDE is being loaded.

A splash screen should:

- use the Oxygen color palette.

- use icons from the default icon theme.

- must NOT use icons that are associated with a particular platform or distribution (e.g. a tux icon).
