Re: [gNewSense-art] [Gnewsense-dev] Greetings, and a small project?

[George Roberge]

Greetings!

Below are the links to the files that I was working on today.  One is
the brochure, and one is the area where I tooled around with graphics:

http://www.andforthelamb.org/docs/GnewsenseBrochure.odt
http://www.andforthelamb.org/docs/GnewsenseArt.odg

These are only the barest rough drafts, and I'm not sure that I can use
the FSF logo (although I'm not sure why I wouldn't) on the brochure.
The last thing that I did on this is add the blue fade behind the
gNewSense logo on the inside, and it made all of the difference in the
world.  I think that every heading, paragraph, or pane could maybe use
some sort of color to liven it up, but I haven't been able to play
around with it yet.  It could also use maybe a different font or
something to polish it up a bit.

I'll get back to it when I have a chance, tomorrow or Sunday I think.

...and don't kill the non-graphically-inclined messenger!

Thank you,
George R.

Once it's in better shape I'll put it there.
