Thanks a lot for the effort Adonay. Here's a summary of all the comments I and GNUtoo wrote on IRC.
1. Bullets on the back side need to be reworked. Problems: - "The Bad subjugation" has fast graphics rendering. But it doesn't have fast graphics rendering with only free software. - "The Bad subjugation" has support from manufacturers. Just not the kind of support we are thinking about. - "The Bad subjugation" has "all software up-to-date", to a certain definition of it. For instance Apple releases new iOS versions to a few of their phones (they drop the older phones though). - The "Ugly Hack" doesn't have "free/libre modem firmware". - The "Ugly Hack" has free drivers, but doesn't have free firmware. Perhaps that should be broken in two. - "The Ugly Hack" has upgradable drivers, but doesn't have upgradable firmware. Perhaps that should be broken in two. Taking the above into account, here's an attempt on reworking the sentences. After the dash (-) I list the versions on where it would be checked as present. * Hardware design available under a free license. - GOOD * Hardware documentation available under a free license. - GOOD * Modular and replaceable hardware. - GOOD * Modem isolated from memory. - GOOD, UGLY * Drivers are free software. - GOOD, UGLY * Firmware on all chips is free software. - GOOD * Bootloader is free software. - GOOD * Fast graphics rendering. - GOOD, BAD * All internal devices are supported. - GOOD, BAD * Receives software updates. - GOOD, BAD * Shares software components with GNU/Linux distributions. - GOOD Still, IMHO, having different sentences on each version conveys the message much much better. Here's an example: GOOD * Firmware inside all chips is free. Can be modified and updated by the user. * Hardware is free and comes with schematics and manuals. * Hardware is modular and replaceable. * All components supported by free software and upstreamed drivers. * Shares kernel, drivers and userspace with GNU/Linux distros. * System runs up-to-date software on the entire stack. * Modem connects to a network that doesn't track users. BAD * Firmware in all auxiliary chips is proprietary and cannot be modified. * Bad modem isolation allows it to access all data in the main memory. * Hardware locked with proprietary screws. * Non-replaceable battery. * All components soldered to a single PCB. * Drivers are proprietary and opaque. * Drivers can include bugs and/or backdoors, intentional or unintentional. * Drivers are written once and forever forgotten. Time to market is king. * Kernel is years old and riddled with bugs. UGLY * Hardware chosen to minimize freedom hazards. * Modem firmware is proprietary but the modem is physically isolated and cannot access main memory. * Bootloader is locked. * Hardware manuals are proprietary and exclusive to official repair shops. * Some hardware parts are replaceable while others are soldered to a single PCB. * Removable battery. * All drivers are free software. * Some internal devices are unsupported due to lack of free software drivers. * Graphics are slow as rendering must be done on the CPU. I reckon that this wasn't made to the the difficulty of converting text to paths in Scribus. But IMHO, this is so much better that I will strive to find a way to have the automatic path conversion working. 2. The app icons label should have a different style for the app name and for the app description. It should make it easier to understand that "Linphone" is the name of the app, and that "encrypted voice caller" is the description. GNUtoo suggested something like: - Encrypted voice caller, example: Linphone - Package installer, example: a liberated version of F-droid - Web browser, example: a union of Tor Browser and IceCatMobile 3. The background image on the front of "The Good Enough" should be mode less bright/more transparent. The white text is hard to read on top of it. 4. Do not use CAPS in the bulleted list in the back. CAPS make reading harder. Use regular sentence casing: "Free/libre hardware design.", "Modem isolated from memory.", etc. 5. The phone bezel in the back should be of the same colour as the front. That makes it easier to perceive the subject is the same. 6. I would remove the camera from the back side. The camera on that position makes it look like as if it is the front side. Ideally it would be positioned somewhere else, like in the middle, tough as such space is not available, better remove. 7. "This QR goes to a page…" > this is too verbose. We should find a better way to convey this. Perhaps just placing the link besides the QR is enough. 8. The Bad Subjugation should have the Bezel in other colour instead of blue. Blue is heaven. Here's an imagine summarizing colour theory in design: https://www.blackbeardesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/BBD-Color-Guide.png Ideally the "Bad subjugation" should be red. That leaves us with a problem around "The Ugly Hack", since Replicant logo is red. Still I would have "Bad Subjugation" as red, and "Ugly Hack" as black. 9. The background of the bulleted list on the back should be of a neutral colour not used in the phone bezels. Since we are using green, red and black for the bezels, that background could be something like paper yellow, to make it look like a post-it glued to the phone (?). 10. The background image of the front of "Bad subjugation" should be hellish like. A beach is too nice of a place. I would place a photo of a jail or similar. 11. The style of the bulleted list on the back of "The Good Enough" and "The Bad subjugation" makes it hard to perceive that all/none are selected, because there's nothing to compare against. We should find another type of bulleted list. Perhaps we can simple use striked-through text vs a check mark.
