Fedora Project Sign for GITEX Demo Pod

[John Babich]

I need immediate feedback for the GITEX Demo Pod sign which Red Hat is
generously providing.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/GitexExampleSign for
the example provided by Red Hat.

Here is my attempt:

<Sign>

<FEDORA PROJECT LOGO>                                              <RED HAT>

I felt creative today, so I made a mockup of the GITEX 2007 Fedora
Project Sign:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/GitexExampleSign

If there are no objections, I will submit this to Red Hat Europe
on Monday.

Nevertheless, i wish to know what do you think about it (all of u Fedoras)..

Hisham:

Thanks for taking the time to produce such an artistic piece of work.

My very plain poster is based upon the example provided by Red Hat.
I'm not sure we have to be so conservative in the layout or not. I
will ask the person in charge of designing the demo pod if we can be a
bit more daring.

Regardless, we do need flyers, and I like your design a great deal. If
nothing else, I would like to use your design for the flyer. I think
one of the attractions of the Fedora Project is the opportunity for
people to express their creativity.

I'll let you know what the result is in a few days.

Here's the other challenge: I would like our flyers to be in at least
three languages: English, Arabic and French.

John:
I'm glad that you liked it.. now i'm synchronizing the design with the
latest one..
I don't know French language, but I will be happy to translate to Arabic ...
Hey Arabic ambassadors, support and opinion please (let us make it as good
as it could be)...
And you French ambassadors, send the translation to me... and the French
version will be available ASAP

That's great work. However, one feedback I received was that we should
reduce the font   size slightly on the list of bullet points and put
more space between the lines.

Maybe we should concentrate on English and Arabic on one pamphlet -
English on the left and Arabic on the right - or on either side of one
brochure.

As I said above,  let's concentrate on English and  Arabic - By all
means, go ahead...

Hi Hisham,

I'm afraid you're more likely to find help translating your GITEX
material in French on the dedicated French Fedora lists (also this is
the height of summer vacations right now)
