French press kits

[Steven Moix]

Hello all,

Here is the first picture of an almost finished French press kit:
http://www.alphatek.info/divers/DSC00084.JPG

It was designed for Live CDs and has a little support for them in the
middle, the final version won't have the white borders and be printed on
heavy paper.

Keep up all the awesome work,
Jack

Note, for those who didn't know this, that this is a teamwork with my
class, it's not my design. The texts will come later.

The names of the culprits are on
http://www.alphatek.info/2009/04/11/bye-bye-heig-vd/ :)

So, now I have the final versions of the kits, there is only one problem
(and don't laugh): the guy who made them had the beta version of Windows
7 and Scribus was just unusable on it (+ a serious lack of time to learn
Scribus). So he used Adobe InDesign CS4 instead, and the press kits ave
this format now...

I'm downloading the trial version right now in my Vista VM to see if I
can do something about that.

Steven

[Steven Moix]

Hello all,

Bad news, InDesign CS4 has a new proprietary file format, even
incompatible with older InDesign versions. Yay! The big question now
is...do we want to use these press kits? :)

They need some professional printing, Live CD's and CD fixation dots in
the middle, which represents a cost of around 1$ to 1.5$ for each kit
(rough guess).

If yes,
1) I think the best solution is to redesign the whole thing in Scribus
for the long term, I'm searching a volunteer! Maybe the Art team?
2) It would also be great if someone could translate them to English
(Most of the 4 press kits have the same content)...any volunteers there?

The press kits are available as PDF (French) on
http://www.alphatek.info/divers/press-kit-FR.zip

Note: it looks possible to export them as SVG for Inkscape, pascalp from
fedora-fr is working on it.

Hey Steven,

Is there any way you can just copy and paste the french text to us so 
that we can translate it in the mean time?

Thanks,
Jack

This is really spectacular, Steven!  Are the sources for the designs
posted anywhere?  It might be useful for us to make the interior text
available for translation to other languages.

Nice layout. Make sure to take off widow on "réseaux" because it looks 
akward that way.
