Well, actually I'm just going to stop right here with it - it looks good, reads well - only thing I'm looking for is a nice campaign B/W graphic for the header - preferably, I guess, to fit in the space of the frames in the head of the columns. I don't know, could be textual, could be graphic's based, perhaps something along the lines of a Pennsylvania Dutch barn raising - they (some figures) builing frame in place, so pen/ink line drawing style, and a flowered design ala Amish would be, seriously it would trigger the Barn Raising metaphor I think with text maybe "The Document Foundation Founding Fund challenge!" - it would take a better graphics designer than me to put that idea to paper - here is my country kitch version http://baseanswers.com/libo/libo-challenge-en_bw-pen_dutch.pdf NO I'm not going to print any of those...just thinking out loud //drew > > Carl > > On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 4:36 AM, drew <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > With the upcoming show and the now underway Foundation Founding fund > > raising challenge, it seems appropriate to generate two items for. > > > > First - a challenge flyer - simple, B/W, What - Why - URL > > [lay up for 2 printed pages per physical page - side by side - copy and > > cut for a little cost savings] > > 2 files, one US letter and en the other A4 and de. > > > > (I would likely choose a pastel green [close to logo as I can get] > > paper, assuming they have something actually close - white otherwise] > > > > Alright - I plan to layup both items, all three files, today - for a > > first cut of text will use the same from the > > challenge.documentfoundation.org main page. > > > > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challenge-en.pdf > > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challenge-en.odt > > > > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challenge-de.pdf > > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challenge-de.odt > > > > The work will be the text only, with a space left on the header I > > suppose for some graphics treatment - guess why I'm posting this to the > > design list. > > > > If someone can help with that it would be much appreciated - for a time > > line there is a print center right at the conference site for the show > > next Saturday - so a final file isn't really needed to Friday, but next > > Wed. would be my preferred date to have it to bed.
