Re: [libreoffice-design] Scatter brained?

Hi Drew, all,

Yeah we will get through the incompatibility problems with a little 
ingenuity I think =) ... I hope =(
But in the mean time, I just wanted to mention 2 things;

1. First off, thanks for picking up the motif and running with it
2. Don't feel like you need to use the motif as a prominent feature of 
your Design, it is just support decoration.
And it doesn't have to be used the way it appears, I think every Design 
task is still going to rely on the Designer's judgement.

Having said that, I've knocked up something really quick in photoshop 
that might help communicate how I think the motif could "support" your 
postcard, rather than demand real-estate on it. I've uploaded it to the 
wiki here;
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:ROUGH_postcard_PRESENTED.jpg

I've written up some draft guidelines for the motif's use on the wiki page;
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Motif
But it's early days still.

Hope that helps?
-Nik
