RE: [art] Request for templates for OOoCon presentations
I have put an attempt together for the template. I will put it on the art wiki page soon.

Thanks for the request - I think, there are several artists here able to create a high quality Impress template that not only contains the OOoCon logo, but use the graphical elements of OOo3 too.

Hi John, * John McCreesh schrieb: Bernard, should people use the Art wiki for their proposals? I created a wiki page for OOo Impress templates: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery/ImpressTemplates where we could upload not only the templates for Orvieto, but for general OOo related purpose too. To make it easier to get an impression of the templates, we should not only upload the Impress template files, but images, showing how they look like. On uploading the image files we could present the links to the templates in the comment area, so the user can get the template by two clicks from the thumbnail of the image in the gallery. Any comments? Best regards Bernhard - To unsubscribe, e-mail: art-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: art-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

Hi John,* ajthornton schrieb: I could well have a go at this. I have just used Impress to make slides for my talk at Software Freedom Day. I put a lot of effort into the fonts, colours etc and people liked my slides. Thanks for your offer! With regards to fonts: Please use fonts, that are more or less ubiquitous among OOo users - If your template renders differently on different computers, this might reduce the quality... So, if I could get the OOoCon logo from somewhere, I would like to put something together. The guidelines below look reasonable enough. John McCreesh posted the link twice - did you get it? It is a template? In other words people are going to fill it up with their own words, pics etc so I shouldn't crowd the template too much. That's right. If you had a look at the template for the OOoCon2007 John provided the link to, you've seen that most of the content is based in the Master Pages. I assume that I should I start with a blank impress slide and make my template on it? I'd propose to use the 2007 template as basis and replace the content by the 2009 graphics. I shouldn't worry about having those markers where pople can import pics etc onto their impress slide? If you use the existing template, these markers (included in the Master Pages) will be present in your template too.
