Hello Marc,

Marc Paré wrote on March 28, 2013 2:41 AM:
So, to give the impression of cooperation of all these groups (website,
docs, new-webdesigners, marketing/design), I would propose we adopt the
same half-circle for our header on all panels with perhaps as the
exception the 1st panel. We then need to discuss the font for the
pamphlet, as well as the background colour for the panels (I say this as
you seem to have included a grey-ish colour to the background).
Therefore these are the elements that we would work/suggest:

* designed header -- half-circle
* 1st panel design
* font
* panel background color

I added the background color to match that of the website's Discover page (as 
with the font and colors).
I would add font color(s).

How does this sound. This would give us an agreed-to template for the
marketing team to work with. The marketing team could then fill the
panels with the information they wish to add.

Sounds good.

The choice we would then have to make is that of font ... I am not sure
but who has suggested this but is the website font Open Sans Condensed?

Yes. Open Sans Condensed for the front page and Open Sans Condensed Light for 
the Discover page.
I think it's good unless readability is an issue.

How does this look as a template design for our marketing needs?

I thought the front page stood out less than the other pages, so I tried using 
a dark background. Also I think we need to use the full logo on the front page 
so I did that as well.
The changes are in the newest version

Looks good! :-)

We would have to also supply a link to download Open Sans so that we can 
all follow the template; Tim used the link found on the PhotoShop 
RoadMap site to download the font[1] -- it's really a link to 
FontSquirrel website


-- font family: 
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/download/open-sans-condensed
-- font-face kit: 
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontfacekit/open-sans-condensed


I also wonder if the font is good to use for all native language groups. 
Any ideas on this? Would our Arabic/Asian ... nl members be able to use 
the font?


Any other comments from the Design Team members? We should all be OK 
with this. We will use this template for LibreOffice v.4.0.x until the 
website changes and then rework the template when needed. If you are 
wondering why we are doing this, read the full thread.


Cheers,

Marc

Hi All,

I'm sorry, I'll probably not be at the IRC Chat today. I didn't have
time to change what I wanted on the color picker.

Have a good chat,

Kévin

Looks good to me, and unless anyone vehemently opposes it we should
stick to this design, at least for the 4.0.x communication.
