Re: four f's poster designs
Wonderful! I like the proposed changes in color and this has meant that art is more cheerful, leaving the intensive use of the blue. I think after the palette Remix we can use more colors in posters, flyers and so on.

Should they be reprinted at about the same transparency as the reprinted symbol for the foundation? Or something? Back on the blurbs, they can definitely be shortened.

Mairin -- these are just fabulous (IMHO, ie, not an artist or designer)! Could see these icons tell the story in so many use cases, alone and combined.

Any Fedora Ambassadors reading this, I'd especially like to hear what direction you think we should go in as you're the folks with these posters at events competing with other booths/tables. Quick thought -- how large will the two-line text be for each poster? I didn't notice it until I looked at the individual posters. If they can't be read from about 6 feet away, I think they need to be enlarged or removed... I was thinking these would be printed at maybe 20"x30" or maybe larger proportions. These are just rough cuts so they do need some padding to fit that ratio, right now they scale to 20"x~24". At 20"x24", the two rows of text together are (if I'm measuring right) about 1.5" tall so I'm thinking not readable from 6 feet away. Do you think they'd work if we just took the text out? Maybe it could be resized and the little sound bites shortened even more, into 2-3 word phrases? ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
