enhancement: release illustrations

[bubapet]

Hey, I'm an illustrator and I love this project (and reading). I've noticed that some of your releases have pictures (e.g. Yellow Daffodil). If you'd like, I could make illustrations for the future releases.

I see that 2021.09 is really close but if you've got the theme, I could try and create something. If there's not enough time I can do 2021.10 👍

Here are a few illustrations that I've done in the past: https://ljubicapetkovic.com/vectors/

Let me know if I can help.

If you can whip up an illustration within the next day or two, you're welcome to! :-D Theme… what about September Cheese? :cheese:

[Zeyadas]

Since there's an illustrator here offering his services I would suggest to change the whole koreader icon, I don't know why, but I think it's a good idea.

[bubapet]

@Frenzie I will make something cheesy for tomorrow or Monday morning (UTC) 🙂 When are you planing to do the release?

[Frenzie]

Tomorrow or Monday morning then. :-p

Edit: I was thinking probably tomorrow morning but I can just finish prep and wait till Monday morning.

[bubapet]

@Frenzie It was good fun so I made two, you can pick :) let me know if you need them in a different resolution or format.

[Frenzie]

Original vector and/or PNG are generally preferable to JPEG for this kind of thing, but they look good either way! :+1:

[bubapet]

Thanks :) here are PNGs Github doesn`t support SVGs in comments, I can share them somewhere else if you would like

[Frenzie]

GH supports zip files. :)

[bubapet]

@Frenzie Now I`ve learned :) KO september cheese.zip

[bubapet]

@Frenzie Hello, I would like to do the illustration for the next release, if you'd have it :) Do you have a theme for it?

[Frenzie]

How do you feel about seagulls? There are a lot of them this time of year, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noordse_stormvogel for example.

[bubapet]

Seagulls-yes, I like the idea! I will post some options here in the next week.

[bubapet]

Here's a seagull in PNG and SVG KO reader october.zip

[Frenzie]

Awesome, thanks! :+1:

[bubapet]

You're welcome :)

@Frenzie Hi there! Do you have some ideas for the visuals of November's release? I'm keen on making an illustration :)

[Frenzie]

Not at the moment, maybe something fall themed? (Red/yellow colors/leaves)

[bubapet]

👍 some typical fall motives were my thinking as well :)

[bubapet]

Hi! Here's little something for November. Let me know if you would like some changes to be made KO NOVEMBERLEAFS-01.zip

[Frenzie]

That's very cool! 👍

[bubapet]

Hello :) Do you have any preferred motives for this month's logo? I'd like to make it

[Frenzie]

What about something relating to Belisarius? He did some important stuff in December long ago. ;-P

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belisarius

[poire-z]

(@bubapet : you can come up with a Christmas theme logo, and pretend: what?! but "Belisarius" means "Christmas" in Serbian ! - and we will believe you :)

[pazos]

I think all this artwork deserves its own section in https://koreader.rocks/

[Frenzie]

That's an interesting idea. Perhaps I can take a semi-lazy way out (albeit at the risk of annoying Netsurf/Links2/NoScript users like myself) by using the GH API.

[bubapet]

@Frenzie What will be the release date?

[Frenzie]

@bubapet Saturday or Sunday is the current target.

[bubapet]

I can make something by Saturday later evening. Will that work for you? :)

[Frenzie]

Absolutely! :-)
