So you'll have to be prepared to show why someone would want to go to the bother of learning Scribus. Showing the ability to handle SVG graphics would be good, exporting pages as images, exporting as PDF, using Scribus to create a PDF presentation are some things you might consider. A lot of the advantages of Scribus have to do with not just inserting a text frame or an image, but manipulating it once you have inserted it, grouping objects, translating to an output form that a professional printer would accept. The interaction with Gimp is a cool feature.
