I was going to give some feedback on this, but after catching up with the rest of the thread, I'm a little afraid of my comments being misinterpreted or being taken badly. Anyway... >From a graphical point of view, less text would be better. From the point of view of being a template design for meet-ups & developer events, some space should be lefy for the various questions which need answering for people to show up (what, where, when, why). In fact, event flyers typically need nothing more than an eye-catching image or two with the four Ws. Then again, perhaps I misunderstand the word "flyer" in this sense, and this is intended to be a general informative pamphlet. In which case, in addition to the image of the N900, it might be good to have some screenshots of community-created apps, and reduce the text to the key-words you want to emphasise: * Community development & collaboration * Open platform * Free software (please please don't use the phrase "open source freeware") * maemo.org And, I agree with Quim, you have to be able to answer some basic questions with a pamphlet: who is it for, and why should they be interested. It's a mini-presentation, and the same rules apply as those I addressed in my lightning talk on good presentations. First, audience & motivation (who is interested, and why?). Second, narrative (what is my story?). Third, presentation design (how do I present my story?). Fourth, delivery - getting your story into the hands, eyes & ears of the people you feel should care. Cheers, Dave. -- maemo.org docsmaster Email: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] _______________________________________________ maemo-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-community
