Hi devs,
Regards from Paris, tomorrow will come a graphic designer here at the
code sprint, are you interested in something related to GRASS?
ciao

Vincent recently unified the logo, the startup window banner and the GUI
splash screen image. This needs just commit to trunk and 70, I think.

One of the things we need renewed are manual pages. Particularly, index
page, alternatively graphical index page (and its graphics!) and individual
module pages. Usability and the actual CSS are necessary steps but the
graphical design is an important part of it.

Hello Luca
yes we've been working on that for several months now (see below latest
developments pointed out by Vaclav). And any advice or contribution is
welcome !
Regarding the online documentation, I'm not a crack of css, but the
effort to wrap up things in a visually coherent manner (e.g. typographic
rules, logo display, colors) shouldn't be huge.
Enjoy Paris!
Vincent.

I hadn't seen the graphical index yet. Great work! I only wonder about the purpose of the images and whether the current ones serve that purpose. I would say a graphical index serves to provide a quick overview, whereby each graphic should convey an idea of what that module / category. That works for some (e.g., raster, vector), but less for others (database, display). It is a tough one, I know, but perhaps for some one could consider some more standard symbols? For example, there is a fairly standard symbol for databases, that could be incorporated in the graphic for Database. Coincidentally, I stumbled on this website of TNTmips (a software I used in the distant past), and they have a similar 'graphical' overview, also showing (i.m.o.) how hard it is to come up with good graphics to represent the different categories. I am not really (really not) qualified to come with any concrete graphics, but perhaps it would be possible to send out a call for graphics / ideas on the general grass email list (and on Google+ GRASS page) to get feedback from the creative individuals amongst us (if not already done)?

For the individual modules / functions, the graphics used in the GRASS
Tools in QGIS may be an option. I don't think there are graphics for all
functions yet, but for many there are (not saying they are all better than
the ones used now in the graphical index, but some might)

More than with images for each module I'm concerned with the overall page
design, specifically the header. The name of module should be more
prominent, there should be "GRASS GIS" somewhere and also the version (and
it should be (close to) HTML5-valid which is good for search engines).

One other welcome improvement would be to make the manual pages more mobile friendly (also good for search engines)

I gave the website to Sylvain (the graphic designer) to work a little bit on css style, he will send us a proposal to improve it

... did you receive anything from Sylvain?
In view of the upcoming 7.2.0 release it would be good to stabilize
our graphical identity.
