Create book cover art

[FilipeRamalho]

This Project needs some art and color, so for that we would need a cover. If you have a suggestion, post it in this issue.

The design team will take care of the final image. But we need to make the prototype.

Here is a prototype for the cover. Please leave your input.

My input: I think that the Python and Kotlin logos stand out more. So less name of language and more language icons.

[FilipeRamalho]

It's great ! Woah. 👏
The name can be changed, right ? #14

[Parou]

@FilipeRamalho the name is only a placeholder so that at least something is placed there.
I would especially need suggestions for a background of the cover. The current one is just there to get a feel for how the logo would look on an actual cover.

To add it, we could use this: https://plugins.gitbook.com/plugin/embed-pdf

Cover.pdf - The logo, updated a bit in style and to fit the current languages.

I could export it to svg if needed. But I don't see a need in it right now?

@Parou what is the red book language?

[cozyplanes]

oops

[jonasgeiler]

Cozy ffs

[Parou]

@cozyplanes Assembly since it doesn't have an official logo and the most associated thing I could find are asm file icons.

[cozyplanes]

ahh ok i thought of asp.net first @Parou

[Parou]

I'm still open for suggestions on improvement @cozyplanes

It's amazing so far. Great job @Parou

My only suggestion would be to use brighter and more saturated background colours. If you go to www.devrant.com on a desktop, you will see the saturated bright design. The rant backgrounds there have consistently bright and saturated design so i think it could be symbolic if you made the background of the book cover that way too. :)

However, take this with a pinch of salt as I'm not really a designer. Good luck :)

@c3ypt1c The background is just a placeholder to see the logo placed on a potential cover, although the others seem to like it what was very unexpected from my side...

What I thought about was to maybe ask the writers to write a short code example that I could use for little pictures placed next to each other as the background for the cover with syntax highlighting and stuff. That could be simple hello worlds or something funny.

[c3ypt1c]

@Parou I think you might be right. I think it would be a good idea. :)

Placeholder name can be replaced by: A Ginormous Guide for the Myriad of Languages - A devRant collab.

@Parou if you need anything, like those code snippets, you can ask* at the design channel in Discord.
