It is only the disc designs themselves that are color-limited because of the screen printing process used to print them. So the colors are fine, but I would replace the image with one of the wallpaper pngs because it looks like it's one of the older, uncleaned versions. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Some things we should also do with the jackets: * For Live CD, include a small bit of information about how to use the media: "This disc contains a complete bootable Fedora environment. To use it, make sure your computer supports booting from its CD or DVD drive. Then insert the disc, turn the computer's power on, and follow the prompts. If you enjoy this Fedora environment, you can copy it to your computer using the desktop 'Install to Hard Disk' icon. For further assistance, visit help.fedoraproject.org." * Make sure that the printing of the design is going to be a reasonable cost for the Ambassadors bulk-ordering the discs. If there are any sort of color restrictions, we should get those figured out up-front. I believe the NA Ambassadors were working with Karlie Robinson on duplication. I'm not sure whether they are getting sleeves made by the same vendor. -- Paul W.
