Thread: Brochure(s)
Mention was made last week about brochure(s). I've poked around a bit but I'm not finding anything. Printed materials are in our wheelhouse. Depending on what I see, we may be able to develop some alternatives and I'll bring printed samples up to Toronto. Some body point me? Thanks, Mike

Thanks Darcy, Gavin, Christopher.
Both are set up for A4 so we'll work up a couple of alternative sizes/layouts that will work with a standard window envelopes.
Part of our own little experiment for mailing to "business/computer editors" at printed newspapers. I'll bring a handful of samples to Toronto.
Thanks,
Mike

Who is the audience for that flyer? Because if it's corporate
people, it won't work. They will never read that much stuff.

Because if it's corporate > people, it won't work. They will never read that much stuff. I originally designed them for a Hacker Convention and a Linux Con 2yrs ago. The are for Techies not Suits ;-) However, I build some major new flyers and posters for NetBSD with a different design (simple DIN A4 and A5, two sided with 2 columns), so I can rework some flyers with less text and mor pictures or fancy art. If you have some Input, please send it to me, the most challenging quest is not the design, but the text.

We (Pervasive) have been working on some stuff that's targeted at the corporate audience, in the form of case studies. One should hopefully be out in the next week or two, with another to follow probably in 4-6 weeks. If someone has ideas for collateral other than case studies, Pervasive is willing to spend time on developing the content, layout, etc. The stuff we've done thus-far is laid out with the standard Pervasive graphics, but we could probably come up with something a bit more community-centric as well. And of course the content is free to be re-used. -- Jim C.

"Corporate people" may want the one which has most of a page devoted to a picture of a building. If handing something out at OSCON, I think I'd like to have a supply of the one with "that much stuff." -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "gro.gultn" "@" "enworbbc")) http://cbbrowne.com/info/wp.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #175.
