Nebraska highway marker

File:N-Blank.svg

Article(s): Used as the image on {{Nebraska-road-stub}}, but was used as a template for the files in commons:Category:Nebraska State Highway Shields

Request: This is already an SVG, but it has issues. My concern is with the drawing at the bottom. I'm not even sure how to accurately describe what's wrong with it, but there are lines which seem to be extending randomly from the oxen and wagon and some color is missing. This image shows what the image should look like. –Fredddie ™ 05:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Those are artifacts from auto-tracing. The signs will likely need some tender loving care (i.e., drawing from scratch), given the Nebraska state's highway collection doesn't include this figure. It would be of tremendous help if there are clean, high-resolution raster image of this - all the ones I could find on the web are quite low resolution. Jon C (talk) 18:48, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once you delete the artifacts you'll find the stroked paths much cleaner than usual auto-tracing results. The file looks funny, but still salvageable, although it'd take some time to do. If tracing from scratch is not possible, here's what you can do: The black-filled areas and some rogue paths should be deleted, the stroked paths are for some weird reason divided into small segments, you can select segments that are supposed to be one path and use 'join' function to combine (obvious example would be the text), or you can lock them and trace above them (with smart guides on) with the picture linked above an additional reference.

Creating Scribus Template for "Wikipedia Tutorials"

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:00, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Hi there, I need to get File:DYK Tutorial.pdf, which was created in PowerPoint using minimal graphic design skills, into the Scribus format. Basically, this document will be used as a template for future "Wikipedia Tutorials" for the US Public Policy Initiative, which is working with numerous college classes to include Wikipedia in their curriculum, so the students need quick, easy-to-read, and easy-on-the-eyes tutorial documents to help them out in their early days. So if this could be made in Scribus, that would be great.

Also, use your design judgment to make the document better if you'd like. I'll also need a 2nd page template (i.e., the pdf I linked before is only a one-page document; for multipage documents, I'll need a template page for those other pages, too). You've got a good amount of graphic freedom here, I'm just giving you a starting point. The ultimate goal is to have a recognizable format so that when a student sees one of these documents, they know it's from the same source as the rest of the documents we're handing out to them. If nobody here is familiar with Scribus, if you could point me where else I should try, that would be great. Thanks! upstate NYer (Ambassador) 01:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"New" icon

Resolved

A little "new" icon
A bunch to get the conversation rolling.
Generation 3 (may need to refresh browser).

Template: {{New icon}} Template:New icon

Request: I just made a little template for marking things as "new" (for highlighting new instructional screencasts on a page full of them). This was the only relevant icon I could find. It's good, but it looks bad at small sizes. I'm hoping someone can create a version that is simpler and looks better at 35px or even smaller. Thanks! Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 03:11, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Not sure which pages/dimensions you're doing this for, I quickly threw a couple together to get the conversation started. Is there any of them that you think would be a good lead for the final design? Jon C (talk) 03:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The page I want it for now is here, although I think it would be handy elsewhere too. I think it ought to be bright, contrasty, and solidly colorful, along the lines of the stereotypical "new" star/explosion icon, kinda like this, and also have more points than the stars you drafted, like at least 7. I think the current one would work well if the text was a solid without an outline, or something a little more optimized for small size. The size of your drafts are perfect, I'd say.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 03:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS, your second link killed my eyes :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkwchui (talk • contribs) 04:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. The red-on-gray is tough to read at the proper small size:

Maybe if the text was horizontal and a little bit wider? And sorry to spring that gif on you. I looked for something closer to the archetype in my mind, but that was the best I found on a quick Google search.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 04:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take 3. I've overwritten the last version with larger (but lighter) font - I think it's readable at the small size now (it wasn't before). I prefer the slanted text; the slant and the red will help catch attention on an otherwise horizontal and black/blue/white environment. Taken the liberty to change the template, and it looks sorta OK in the page you've mentioned. I'm not ready to make neon-green/party pink on Wikipedia :) Jon C (talk) 04:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! I like it. It's a huge improvement over the other one. And don't worry about the colors; I can probably figure out how to change them to hot pink and neon green on my own. :D --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 04:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been collecting instructional videos for helping newcomers learn how to edit: Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Resources#Videos. The gallery is getting large. The template is just a way to insert a small image into the gallery to a video as being a new addition. That way, if you've seen the older ones already, it's easy to spot what's new.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 15:06, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I also used only a few points to keep the curves smooth, and tried to make opposite curves of different feathers go somehow parallel to one another. Once I figured out the first couple, the rest became much easier. -- Orionist ★ talk 19:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
