Hi Design guys,
Charles Schulz recently requested a couple of links/banners on the libreoffice.org home page linking to the Challenge and Conference sites. After seeing that there were no proposals, I went ahead and produced a couple, which you might like to check out. Basically I hacked and re-invented some of that beautiful artwork produced from work by Paulo José and Nikash Singh for the original funding Challenge. A big thank you to you both, guys, for having made the .svg files available. I really loved your original work. If anyone has something better to offer than what I've posted, or if you feel that any changes are needed, feel free to jump in and replace them, or to comment.

Well, it's a light-colored page, so the dark banners contrast and stand out well... I could do white ones, for instance, so that people can put them on other web pages and give us publicity...

1. since the banners are really close to the LibO logo on the top of the
page, i'd not use it on the banners. 2. the space you can save by doing this could be used to make the text more readable (especially the challenge-banner isn't readable really well) 3. perhaps you should use the same font for both banners tobias 2011/7/17 David Nelson <[hidden email]> > Hi, K-J, > > On Sun, Jul 17, 2011 at 10:22 AM, klaus-jürgen weghorn ol > <[hidden email]> wrote: > > I "only" see the banners on the web page: > > http://www.libreoffice.org/ > > Do you have some source on the wiki or so?

okay, so maybe you could do a second version for the libO homepage and make
this one available for others on the wiki. are the svgs of these already on the wiki? 2011/7/17 David Nelson <[hidden email]> > Hi Tobias, > > On Sun, Jul 17, 2011 at 1:25 PM, Tobias Bernard <[hidden email]> > wrote: > > 1. since the banners are really close to the LibO logo on the top of the > > page, i'd not use it on the banners. > > The reason I included the logo was so that the banners are good for > use by other people wanting to give us publicity and put these banners > on their own websites... > > -- > David Nelson > > -- > Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [hidden email] > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [hidden email] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted |

The SVGs will be on the wiki later today. I'll work on a light-colored version as soon as I have time (this week), but can we maybe leave them as they are and wait for more feedback over the next few days?

The discussion on the website list suggested not to integrate the link to the conference site as banners, but in the news area. (Christian, Christoph, Charles - asking for banners until the news section is active -, and myself) Unfortunately nobody was able (or interested) to bring the news area to life (even if Christian integrated it in the main site's SilverStripe), so we have now the banners on the homepage. I personally dislike them, but as I can't spend the time to improve them, I can't ask for removal. > [...] > > If anyone has something better to offer than what I've posted, or if > you feel that any changes are needed, feel free to jump in and replace > them, or to comment. There have already been some comments by Klaus-Jürgen ("please replace them by light colored ones, because the black ones don't fit our general branding scheme") and Tobias ("please upload banners without replication of the LibreOffice logo directly at the side of the existing logo and keep the other ones for external sites"). As David seems not to have the time to integrate these comments in his design, perhaps someone else could step in. In this case I'd like to see the official conference logo instead of one with a different Eiffel Tower - one more point about consistency and branding language...

Yep, and I thought it would be nice to have the more official wording from the target pages as well ... so here are some quickly made proposals that should work a bit better. Especially since we currently take away much attention from the download button. Some comments: * the size of the logos is the same like the current ones - so they may serve as drop-in replacements (and nothing else) * the motif logo has been added (but needed to be tweaked to not outperform the remaining content) * the structure of the SVG file is prepared for adding translations You find all files here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/FoundationChallenge#LibreOffice_Frontpage Or directly ... ... the donation banner: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/0/09/LibOWebsiteBanners_Donation_English.png ... the conference banner: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/e/e5/LibOWebsiteBanners_Conference_English.png It would be cool (if anybody thinks the design is an improvement) to add these files to the website - I miss the time and I lack some experience here.

I think these should go out for external use also and I'll update the wiki pages (with the html snippet linked back to the donation page) appropriately, if you don't mind.

Guys,
Do as you feel best. I'm busy on other work for the project right now, so I'll leave it to the person with the strongest impulse to step forward and do the best work in their judgment to benefit the project. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [hidden email] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted |

This isn't either or, it's cumulative effort, yes. I'd like to see the graphics you put together for the web site available for folks to use also. Are the images available on the wiki? Hmm, does that even matter, or put another way - do we want to keep dishing things up from the wiki only?

I'll put the files up on the wiki in the next day or so, because that's our principal drop point and reference point for stuff right now. But I'd recommend us creating a page under the About Us section of libreoffce.org and showcase the graphics posted on the wiki, once they're considered to be fit for public use (i.e. an "img" tag swiping the graphic from the wiki rather than a copy stored directly on the CMS). <off-topic> Maybe you guys would like to check out the merits of Alfresco (http://alfresco.libreoffice.org) as a possible storage depot for stuff in the near future, and give consideration to the possible advantages? </off-topic> -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [hidden email] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted |

Although I do have the rights to do so, it would be great if anybody could check this in Silverstripe and publish the changes. These are my first steps with Silverstripe and I don't want to screw up the main page ;-) Thanks in advance!!! Two more comments: * I had to adapt the size of one of the graphics (from 440px to 400px) because the page is asymmetrical. I did not notice that before ... * I found a small "alternative text" error for one of the graphics (should be resolved) * The donations page is still called "challenge..." - shouldn't we adapt this? > I think these should go out for external use also and I'll update the > wiki pages (with the html snippet linked back to the donation page) > appropriately, if you don't mind. Well, here you are the master :-) I'm happy if we can share those graphics with others - if you have an idea how I can help, then please tell me. I think the original idea of Bernhard to collect all "agreed upon" artwork in one place might be helpful here as well. Have a nice day!

Howdy Christoph, hmm - well I've had an account on the main site for a long while and never used it..looking at the draft it looks good. I can push the publish button, what could go wrong.. > Two more comments: > * I had to adapt the size of one of the graphics (from 440px to > 400px) because the page is asymmetrical.

I think maybe we should look at some type of banner campaign management here. There will always be something deserving of some mention and a continuing need for the call for donations - so something that cycles banners makes sense, not cycle as in the screen shots cycling during a session, rather something akin to an ad banner campaign manager where we want to display different banners on some rotating session basis. Anyway, just a little quick checking and as expected the idea has been addressed in the SilverStripe world already - but that is for another day and I'll push a different email on the idea to the list with some links to SilverStripe resources that I find. > > > I think these should go out for external use also and I'll update the > > wiki pages (with the html snippet linked back to the donation page) > > appropriately, if you don't mind.
