I took a look at these files. Please don't take it as much of a 
criticism but friendly notes on how to improve it.

Here are my remarks:

The logo on top green bar is vertically aligned to nothing. It would be 
pleasing on the eye if at least the paper icon looked vertically 
centered. And if possible, center text vertically as well (as done in 
previous versions).

As for goodlooking professional texts these usually have slightly 
smaller text with greater line spacing. IMHO 10,5 pt with 120% line 
spacing and 0.14 cm spacing below the paragraph looks fine. Although I 
don't think I would ever use Liberation fonts myself.

Right now we have 3 different greens on the page (front page logo, front 
page text and border). We should reduce it to one (or two, if one has to 
be pale).

As for the white first page, saving ink is a good reason. But right now 
it looks kind of dull. Maybe if we would add a colorful image with all 
the icons flying out of LibreOffice box or something slightly fancy. Or 
use even more white (see linked file).

The panel positions on A4 doesn't exactly match, the positions from left 
should be 0,6 (was 0,51), 10,5 and 20,4 cm (was 20,48). And since you 
use panels the page text column gutter is not set, otherwise it should 
be double the border, 0,51 * 2 = 1,02 cm. Or was it to match up for the 
space lost when folding?
(29,7−8,71⋅3)/6   = 0,595
(29,7−8,71⋅3)/6⋅3+8,71   = 10,495
(29,7−8,71⋅3)/6⋅5+8,71⋅2   = 20,395

Since you use panels you could delete the bottom bar images and color 
the panel bottom border, which would make the problem of hiding images 
go away.

File with these changes is here (the colors are still not right).
