John's OOoCon09 presentation template

[Bernhard Dippold-2]

Hi all,

it's probably because John didn't start a new thread when he told us
about the problems uploading his template (I can't sort threads with my
web mail client, so I didn't notice it, when I replied), that there has
no comments to his work up to now.

Therefore I copy my last reply here:

Hi John, all,

thanks for your contribution!

I don't know if your template is meant as title or background for the
content of the presentations.

If you want the content to be presented in front of your template, it
might be less readable than on a white or less colorful background.
And splitting the content in parts above and below the flower seems not
so optimal...

Especially when the presentations will be printed as greyscale,
readability might be reduced too much.

And if I'm allowed to comment the graphic too:
It's colorful - a combination of sun and flower, that produces a
positive feeling when looking at it.

But the OOoCon logo is a less important part of the design, only to be
recognized at second sight. Logos normally look better, if they are not
included in other design elements - most logo licenses/trademarks
require a certain amount of space around the logo.

What you didn't know - because nobody told you: The OpenOffice.org
Conference is the most important event where OOo contributors meet and
present their actual work to each other.

These presentations should look professional - and as I like to improve
the public recognition of OpenOffice.org wherever possible, I used the
blue color from the official OOo logo and the curve from the OOo3 splash
screen as basis of my draft (you included the colored balls).

Please don't understand this mail a criticism - I just want to help you
to improve your work. If you would rather like to help me improve my
draft (I just started it when I tried to adapt the OOoCon 2007 template
to 2009 - sorry for not commenting on this list), don't hesitate to
reply to my other mail.

Best regards

Bernhard
