[opensuse-artwork] slides/presentation artwork and templates

Hey all, I've tried to update the first presentation to the new artwork/templates, but while the background looks OK, fonts and such are still very wrong. First of all - the color of the fonts is black. That does NOT work on a black background ;-) Also, the font itself isn't nice, and bigger than the previous one. I suggest to take a openSUSE 12.2 presentation (like openSUSE-1-min.odp) from github and to try and copy in the slides with the new template to move it over. Take a page (say the first one) and switch the master slide to the new: fail. Same for most other pages. This still needs some work ;-) Hugs, Jos

Hi Jos, Yup, I spotted the issues - I'm at the TTP EMEA conference next week and I wanted to use the template for my two presentations. I've fallen back to my 12.2 professional one in the meantime, but if I get time over the next few days (or when I get back) I'll try my best to get the 12.3 slides upto the same standard On 22 February 2013 16:23, Jos Poortvliet <jos@opensuse.org> wrote:

Ok, that mail was a little too quick. I took the "12.3 professional presentation template" file, which has indeed the issues I described. But the "Master_presentation_slides_openSUSE_12.3" file is real good, I had very little trouble moving it over to the new artwork. One comment: my presentation went from 3 to 4.5 mb - ya'll do realize that just the background of the intro slide is 1.7 mb? Can't we make that a bit smaller? /J

the Master* file has issues too, beyond the filesize one - the fonts are nice but the bottom line and logo are the 'wrong' green I'll try and take a look at this one too, when I have the time - though the 'professional' one will probably get my attention first as its the style I prefer to use.

I can take a look about making the slides leaner. Likely we just used the files as they were created and not optimized. It should not be long. I can do it this weekend.

Hi ! I think that problems with templates are my fault... Sorry. I'm cloning the artwork repo in my laptop, and I will try to improvement that... if I know how to do it!!

Richard made them the last time. Make sure you three coordinate - Richard can probably tell you what he did and then we can have it/something like that :D On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 8:13 PM, Victor hck <correohck@gmail.com> wrote:

I've just uploaded a 12.3 professional template done 'my way' - it's not the most polished but I think it's an improvement, it's what I'll be using for my TTP slides tomorrow now :) My 'trick' is to keep to two colours from the 12.3 design (so in this case, the grey for dark stuff, the green for light stuff), use the logo of that colour, and then have a cut down version of the design for the front page, then the full design from the 4:3 wallpaper for break screens My template already has all title text that is going to be shown ontop of images being white with shadows so it shouldn't matter if the image behind it is dark or light.. makes it pretty reusable as we change designs :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Very nice work on the slides. They are clearly focused on the specific meeting you made them for, which is fine, but then they shouldn't be in github imho. It'd be nice if you could make them more generic (that's slight changes, btw) and move them to 12.3 Slides. Note that in the what's new you shouldn't mention our default desktop as "Qt showcase" but "default openSUSE Desktop" and maybe contrast it as "feature driven" as you introduced GNOME as "design driven" ;-) But I'd be happy to fix all that for you if you want.

Fair point - I'll remove them, but don't get me wrong ,I really do appricate the feedback anyhow - I figured given your work on the featur stuff you might appriate the TTP-friendly version, though yes, of course it's for a specific audience ;-)
I respectfully disagree - I meant "Qt showcase" as a term of the highest praise - "Qt is awesome, and KDE a fine example of all of Qt's awesomeness implemented awesomely". I want to avoid too much discussion about 'defaults' - for this audience in particular, I want the emphasis of my talk to be our distributions choice and flexibility. "Feature driven"..I like that, I think I'll use that :) Thanks for the feedback Jos! :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
