My full comments, which are also now on the wiki comments page: Front covers for user guides: I like that you're using several bits from the v3.x design (different colours and graphics, especially), but the large empty area in the top half of the draft v4.0 cover looks strange to me, and the small LibreOffice logo in the top left gets a bit lost, I think. I prefer to have a larger LibreOffice logo in this blank area. Also, I'm dubious about the "Get involved" in the upper right, though not completely opposed to it.
Chapters: I assume these are intended for the cover pages of the stand-alone chapter files. I think they may be a bit too much when the chapters are compiled into a book, however. Pages: I find the dark colours in the headers and footers are too distracting. And anyone printing these out on a personal printer is likely to be annoyed by the excess use of ink or toner. Back covers: I like the concept, although for the print version (which is 6x9 inches, not A4) I would amend the text a bit. Also, the footer won't work on the print version because of the automatic placement of the barcode by the Lulu publishing service. I expect to have some amended versions of these ready to show people soon. -- Jean On Sat, Jan 5, 2013 at 8:17 AM, Leo Moons <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I added my comments at the comment page of the wiki page. > > Best regards > > Leo > > Op 02-01-13 08:31, Jean Weber schreef: > >> I'm looking at the draft cover and internal designs proposed by >> Klaus-Jürgen, >> >> https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:K-j/Drafts/Concept-GIn#Documentation >> >> I made some comments about the draft front covers on this list last month: >> The large empty area in the top half of the cover looks strange to me, >> and the small LibreOffice logo in the top left gets a bit lost, I >> think.
