[libreoffice-design] Re: how it this brochure printed?

Hi Tim et al,

Thanks for the 1st looks.

IMO, we should just work on getting an agreed design for a community 
pamphlet template.

We need the design team (in this case Issa has graciously offered his 
help to us) to help us get an approved designed template. After this, 
the marketing team does not need to bother the busy design team. We are 
already using approved designed icons included in our text, which does 
not need to be re-approved a second time by the design team, and, unless 
we have any new design elements, there would not be any reason to bother 
the design team.

So, IMO, we should just be working towards:

* an official pamphlet template design and get it approved (this has 
been done as there were no objections -- Arabic font forthcoming). It 
can be found here: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/archive/5/54/20130402094207%21Brochure-lo-4---A4-paper-size--v4--websitelike.odt

* a community pamphlet template design and get it approved. (still in 
discussion). As per Tim's request, this template should watch out for 
ink bleedthrough and shadow from the printing process and should also 
try to minimize the use of ink; this will allow members who wish to 
print on their home printers to do so at minimal cost.

Cheers,

Marc
