Hi :) I get the impression that the brochure we have been looking at is for informational NOT marketing purposes. It's going to be for people that have already been attracted to the product and want to know more. For kids or even just normal marketing it's going to need to be MUCH less verbose and have a lot more images rather than words, and a lot of white-space too of course. Regards from Tom :)

As we do not, as yet,have any text/content for this brochure, I think the following approach would be the best way to work:[*First:*] identify the different points that we think should be includedin the brochure.[*Second:*] write up the text on this list; proof the text and getapproval of the text by the marketing team and Italo/Charles.[*Third:*] put the text on the official template and work on addingicons/graphics (may need some help from design team). Some of the text may need trimming or may need addition. Not to forget that white space in the brochure is not a bad thing. It gives the eyes a rest.[*Fourth:*] complete the official version, get final approval from themarketing/design teams (because it may have some design elements), Italo/Charles. If all OK, complete the Official A4/USLtr and Community A4/USLtr versions.[*Fifth:*] Announce on the Projects list that this brochure version isready.How does this sound?That's a great idea!If we can get the kids using LO early or get the high school [9-12 grades] and college students to start using LO, it would go a long way towards getting more of the Windows market place users. Also letting the parents know that there is a free alternative to buying/renting MSO for their kid's computer for home use or the one that is taken to college. Paying MSO "blackmail" renting policy is not something most parents can afford to do anymore. Let the kids and their parents know how well that LO can fit their educational needs and their wallets is needed. We need any ideas and materials to help. I know that there are some add on dictionaries out there meant for specific courses or fields of study. That might be useful to explore. If I can get the proper words and/or word lists, I would make more dictionaries specifically for them. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org 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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
