Alright, A3 dimensions it is. I used Scribus to create the graphics. It does have an SVG export option, but it produces weird transparent borders. So instead I've exported to PNG at 90 dpi. Download the graphics here: http://www.box.net/shared/c04iezu29j They're a little too big for the wiki (max. 2MB), so I'll just post the download link. Ideally these slides would link to a page with a more detailed explanation of the slogan and the related topic. If you're going to use them, make sure you check legal.txt (inside the ZIP) to see which background images require attribution as specified by the author.

Hi In our college we use A3 size posters for all our purposes but an svg would be better so that everyone can use it to suit their own purposes or bigger sizes so that they can be shrunk later on as you suggest.
Personally for me svgs are the best option

Thanks! What should be the width and height of the material? If you don't know the exact dimensions yet, I could create big images that have a certain width/height ratio so that they can be shrunk to a smaller size later.

Nice. We already have some slideshow information, would you be willing to create a few more of those and put it online with the other marketing materials in this area:
What is the context I should be keeping in mind? Is this still for the website or is it for a booth slideshow (like your wiki link says)? Cuz I have made some booth slides a few weeks ago but I haven't posted them to the wiki yet. Download is available at: http://www.box.net/shared/mhcya0t2p9

+1 for a slideshow - that would be an attention grabber. But which format would you like to use for the slideshow? I have three ideas.
- SCREENSHOTS. Show off some of the things that are unique to openSUSE and by extension Linux. One image with a caption on each slide. - TALKING POINTS. Rotate between a few one-liners that highlight key advantages over other operating systems or distributions. Use neutral, abstract backgrounds. Here's an example I put together in five minutes using existing material: http://i.imgur.com/ob0tz.png You can link these talking points to other pages for more information.

- BOTH. Explain talking points briefly and balance out the text with an image or a screenshot. Ubuntu's website at http://www.ubuntu.com/ features a good example. This approach requires more space than is available in the website design draft however, otherwise the slideshow would look packed and wouldn't be inviting to take a look at.
I like the design, but I noticed that the column alignment isn't entirely consistent. I highlighted the table grid in blue here: http://i.imgur.com/qGMu6.png
