Fantastic concept, the rendering of the mobile is awesome.
cheers,
Thanks for the feedback, Helen, and I totally agree on the QR. Here's another "draft" to chew on. This one I tried to focus on what I would want to put up, that would entice other people to check out openSUSE. And again, the package list is a large component, rendered in the QR (and yes its perfectly legible at print-quality). http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/97434921 I leave it up to the community to decide which way this ends up.

Now THAT is COOL. Love it to bits. What about using a small black&white geeko-head on bottom left, with your awesome 'have a lot of fun' script, so it's all just monochrome and quite simple. I think the abstract QR design is so striking, you almost don't want anything else, you know? It's got huge impact. I'd even consider not using the geeko at all, just 'openSUSE' with 'have a lot of fun', because the sript contrasts nicely with the hard edges. The 'everythign you like about Linux....' slogan is fabulous too, with the QR code... great, really really great. cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

I tried to add a geeko in the middle of the geeko without messing with the code, but I was not able to play with a lot of colors, so have a look at it download and play with it :)

Absolutely awesome. Would you be willing to turn this into a PDF according to the requirements set by LinuxMagazin: Specs for print artwork are: Size: 400 mm * 574 mm, plus 3mm additional bleed on each side, Hi-res PDF, 4-colour, CMYK. And send it to me somehow? I haven't seen a response from Robert Lihm in a while but I'm assuming he has followed this discussion. I think this is pretty cool, haven't seen anything else so I guess this will be our poster :D Cheers, Jos
