Graphisme libre

Qu'est-ce que le graphisme libre ? Encore peu défini, le graphisme libre est un domaine en émergence qui tend à se développer Le graphisme libre est un processus et une culture. Il défend les valeurs du libre et prône une culture de la liberté et de l'entraide. Faire du graphisme libre, c'est pouvoir utiliser un logiciel de création graphique ou consulter un objet graphique. C'est pouvoir voir comment a été conçu et construit cet objet, donc pouvoir l'étudier. C'est pouvoir intervenir dessus, le copier et le modifier. C'est pouvoir diffuser cet objet, modifié ou non, et le partager avec d'autres qui auront exactement les mêmes droits. Choisir de faire du graphisme libre c'est choisir une alternative, une autre façon de penser le graphisme, de faire du graphisme. Le graphisme libre est libre parce qu'il est communautaire et qu'il permet à chacun d'agir et de participer. Si la liberté individuelle s'acquiert par la liberté d'autrui, alors le graphisme doit passer par la participation et le partage pour être libre. L'un des événements importants du graphisme libre est le Libre Graphics meetings, convention sur le graphisme libre qui rassemble des développeurs et des graphistes de la scène international autour des questions d'utilisation de logiciel libre, de philosophie libre et de modèle libre dans le champ du design graphique. Ils abordent le graphisme libre sous deux angles : Le premier concerne le développement de logiciel libre de graphisme proposant ainsi une alternative aux logiciels propriétaires pour les artistes. Le logiciel Gimp (acronyme de GNU Image Manipulation Program) par exemple est un logiciel libre, principal concurrent d'Adobe Photoshop, qui permet le traitement d'image matricielles (retouche photo, dessin, animation). Il est inclus par défaut dans différents systèmes d'exploitations basés sur Linux. Le second concerne l'application des principes fondamentaux du libre dans des objets graphiques. Le collectif Open Source Publishing par exemple propose des objets graphiques libres de droit, réalisés sur des logiciels libres, et fonctionnant selon les principes de partage, de modifications et de diffusions du libre. Leur fonderie propose des fontes libres de droit dont le code source peut être récupéré sur le logiciel Github et qui sont téléchargeables en ligne. L'une d'elle, la Libertinage est basée sur une autre police libre, la Linux libertine, et a été développée pour la réalisation du FLOSS+Art book (livre traitant des l'évolution des rapports entre art digital, open source et philosophie du libre). Ils ont également créé un générateur d'affiche pour une sation de radio, radio Panik, qui permet la création d'affiches en bichromie en choisissant deux couleurs (une pour le fond et une pour le texte) et en insérant le texte voulu. Le générateur récupère alors automatiquement des images libres de façon aléatoire sur Wikimédia Commons et propose une affiche. Leur travail questionne la façon de créer du contenu libre basé sur le modèle libre et d'explorer les limites et possibilités que permettent les logiciels libres dans le design graphique.

References[edit]

  1. From the original article: There are a growing number of Wikipedia projects, some very active and others quite stagnant. I propose that we invigorate them by ensuring that they each contain a minimum amount of basic, useful information. This way, people will be encouraged to use these projects and help in their growth. I therefore suggest that we make a list of about 1,000 basic articles that we advise having on every existing Wikipedia. These articles should be very basic, and incorporate the most essential information. In some cases, it will be only a table, while in other cases, it will be a stub. This will, however, provide some impetus for the smaller projects to grow. In addition to simply listing the articles, this project hopes to eventually create easily translatable versions of these articles, possibly containing core information at wikipedia:simple:Wikipedia:List of articles all languages should have. Until then, links to the largest Wikipedia, the English language version, are provided as a translatable resource. Because this list has grown so large, it is currently in the process of being split into two levels of priority. Top-priority entries, which are especially necessary for any Wikipedia to have, are marked in bold; like the list itself, these selections should not be viewed as dictating how important certain topics are, but only as a utility for smaller Wikipedias to start from. (This feature, and the page in general, is currently being discussed on the Talk page. If you support this effort, please contribute to the list and participate in the discussion.)
  2. From the original artile:There are several different ways to use this list. The first is to translate it into the language of your Wikipedia and see whether you have articles on all of these topics. The topics will eventually all be linked to articles in the Simple English Wikipedia. If you are missing an article, or if you are starting out with a new language, you may want to translate these basic articles. You can also check the language links in the Simple English articles for more comprehensive coverage of the topics in many other languages.
This article is based on a Wikipedia article m:List of articles all languages should have under the terms of GNU FDL version 1.2 or later.
