I agree with Alexandro - I prefer the more graphical look of the "Education Flyer". I think this particular flyer is good, although I think it could be improved by targeting the message better, and making more use of the available space. I also believe we should avoid proprietary software to create marketing materials, especially when the pdfs they create do not print correctly on the most common Linux pdf viewer :(
As an early warning, for our 2010 marketing work I'll be looking to source some new brochures for conferences etc. There was some off-line discussion about this at OOoCon - one suggestion that went down well was to go 'mix and match'. So, we'd have a high quality, global, 'language neutral' folder - think http://www.folderprinting.co.uk/a4-folders.html - which we would use with inserts as appropriate: - for a small event - e.g. at a university - a local team could print out / photocopy black and white A4 inserts in the local language - for a large consumer event we could have one insert per 'application' (Writer, Calc, etc) printed full colour The folder could also contain a product DVD if appropriate. Feedback welcomed - would this work?
