Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Brochure-type: General Information -- Updated to v.4 (still in edit stage by the marketing team)

Hi :)
Yes, 1st and 3rd panels look a lot better.  In the middle panel it feels like the bullet points are 
trying to sneakily slope off the page to go down the pub.  If there was a mirroring white-space on 
the right of the bullet-points to make it more like the Eiffel tower then it would look more 
deliberate or a vertical strip of artwork (using "wrap through") down the far left that does 
line-up with the text under it.  

Tbh though i think go with what we have.  It is plenty good enough given that the top aim is to 
cram information into it.

err, btw Exchange in the heading in the 1st panel should have an x in it but i think that was due 
to haste and would have been corrected anyway
Regards from 
Tom :)
