Hi Jean, all moving this message to the design list where I think it belongs.
Please follow up there! just one short point from my side: I'd propose to use the Motif on the book covers. Best regards Bernhard Jean Hollis Weber schrieb:
When I published the printed version of "Getting Started with LibreOffice" in great haste last year, I put together a cover design based on the TDF logo.[1] That same design was used for the more recently-published printed version of the Writer Guide. Today someone wrote to the Documentation list to say how awful the cover looks, particularly because of the black border. I agree. I'm not a graphic designer, and I didn't have the time to consult anyone else... but the time has now come to do so. One idea I've had (and others expressed a similar idea) was to use the colour of the component's icon for the cover border colour. I think that would be an improvement, but a more attractive overall design would be an even greater improvement. Other ideas are being expressed on the Docs list. So I turn to the Marketing team, and in particular the Art Team, for guidance and, I hope, a book cover design. I know that this will take some time, so the next book (Calc Guide) will use the original design, but with perhaps a different colour than black for the border. Thanks in advance for your help. --Jean LibreOffice Documentation Team [1] http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/getting-started-with-libreoffice-33/14703788
