I would prefer Cholla/5th leg for the headlines. IMHO the flyer would stil look serious (hey, Cholla is not Comic Sans ;-) and would match the openSUSE branding much better.
Well, Cholla is IMHO pretty close to Comic Sans ;-)
No, it isn't ;-) - it looks very different. Most lines in Cholla are exactly horicontal or exactly vertical, the only exceptions are the the corners where two lines connect. Basically you can re-create Cholla with a ruler. OTOH, Comic Sans has nearly no lines that have been drawn with a ruler (the "lines" are more like curves), and nearly none that are exactly horicontal or vertical. Hey, and even if Cholla doesn't look as serious as the sans-serif font (LucidaGrande?) - wasn't there somethink like "have a lot of fun"? ;-)
However, as it seams that you are serious about this topic, here is a Cholla-Hedlined Version.

Much better :-)
I'm ... OK with it :-)
:-)
Perhaps a minor thing: the lines should be at the same position (measured from top) as on the "Free software" page (german: "Registerhaltigkeit"). This basically means: - make the headlines (including free space) exactly as high as n "normal" text lines (n to be defined by you, n = 3 lines might be a good value)
I'm not sure if i get you right. Maybe we can talk about this in german on IRC?
Just ping me tonight if you want ;-)
I went through the paragraph spacing and found some c&p mistakes. The font size is in general 10pt, the line height is 14pt. The paragraph spacing is 7pt.
The paragraph spacing is probably the problem - it should be 14pt (= line height). Since pictures say more than words, I editet the [screenshot of the] flyer a bit, see www.cboltz.de/tmp/opensuse-flyer-line-position.xcf Open it with GIMP and play a bit with the visibility of the four layers: - current flyer - screenshot of the PDF - how it should be - after I moved the text around - lines - the red line grid - headline markers - help lines to position the sub-headlines The inside of the flyer basically has the same problem, but it is less visible because of the pictures/screenshots. If it is still possible to make changes, I'd propose to change the paragraph spacing to 14pt.
However, the "Operating system" page looks very empty. [...] I'm not the best in writing english marketing texts, but let me try: (based on Portal:Distribution text)
openSUSE has everything you need to do your work and play. Browse the web with Firefox, send email, write documents with OpenOffice.org, enjoy media with Banshee and Amarok, and much more.
I wrote me your suggestion down. But it's to late for text changes.
Too bad :-(
We definitely need to discuss the content for the flyer much earlier next time. This time we had to hurry. Sorry.
ACK ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz --
Stimmt, das wäre deutlich besser. Einziger Haken: --percent wäre nicht mehr so genau ;-) Einwand korrekt - aber ein Systemcrash wegen mangelnder Ressourcen ist deutlich ungenauer in seinen Resultaten. :-) [> Christian Boltz und Ratti in fontlinge-devel] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
