Hello Caio, * CC'ing the Art project, becuase this is one of the topics related to both projects.

She proposed to give the community (especially UI and Art project) access to her OOo related materials and started this as a sub project (not yet finished) of UI, because UI developer able to support her CVS efforts are working just one room away. I'm extremely happy that she is sharing her work with us, so we avoid working on the same design in different projects. > > I would like to edit the banner, but I can't use Photoshop neither I > have enough money to buy it. I'm not quite sure which banner you mean. This one? http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/gifs/visualdesign.png Or the "Thank You" banners? http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/gifs/Images/OOoThankYou.png For the first you have to ask Stella directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), the latter can be found in the Art projects area of Issue Tracker: http://ui.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71240 I think the .psd files there are the ones you are referring to. I've been able to open them in GIMP keepin the layer information, so it is not as hard to modify them. It is not a vector format, so scaling will result in lower quality. You can't modify the text either - you'll have to replace it with your own. But I assume the font used to be Frutiger (condensed?), the commercial font used for the logo too. As this font is not available for free, I don't know if you own it. Using Bitstream vera (bold) instead, condensing it to abut 78% horizontally leads to quite similar results (most obvious difference: better kerning, slimmer "o" and rounded dots in Frutiger). > So I would like to see if it's possible to export the original do SVG or > some other format that might to be edited by someone without Adobe > Photoshop. I don't know if a vector format would be the best, as I think Photoshop is a raster based program (don't own it either). Please try GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) if it serves well enough for your purpose. If not, please come back (perhaps with even more reaction in the Art project). On the other hand: Jörg Jahnke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has been very fast in presenting translated versions of the banner. So you might consider asking in the issue for help.
