The Inkscape tool is used to create and -manipulate scalable vector graphics and export them to PNG format; it -also provides a command-line interface that we use to perform massive -exportation from SVG files to PNG files in automation scripts.

Visual manifestations implement the corporate identity -concepts by mean of images. To produce these images, we decompose -image production in @emph{design models} and @emph{artistic motifs}. - -Design models provide the structural information of images (i.e., -dimension, position of common elements in the visible area, -translation markers, etc.) and they are generally produced as scalable -vector graphics to take advantage of SVG standard, an XML-based -standard. - -Artistic motifs provide the visual style (i.e., the background -information, the look and feel) some design models need to complete -the final image produced by automation scripts. Artistic motifs are -generally produced as rastered images. - -The result produced from combining one design model with one artistic -motif is what we know as a @emph{theme}.
