[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Draft brochure for community recruitment

I printed out the brochure on my B/W with cover stock and it is fine, 
although, I can't help but think that the photos need some tweaking, 
they are a little too dark.

BTW and FYI ... the laws in Canada are being reinforced with respect to 
group shots. I am in the middle of a "marketing video production 
workshop" and we are being advised that group shots like these need 
release forms from ALL people in the shots. Our workshop instructors 
(they own their own video production company) are advising us not to use 
any group shots or "street shots" unless you get a release form/contract 
from all of the people in the shots regardless of the number of people 
in the shot. You could try to blur the faces, but, even then, there are 
software packages now that enable the "un-blurring" of photos which 
makes blurring of faces even impossible to use (our police forces in 
Canada use "un-blurring" techniques to catch online child molesters) -- 
if the photos can be "un-blurred" then the privacy laws apply.

I am not sure how that would impact the photos if there were any 
Canadians in the shots. We may not be able to print out the brochure in 
Canada unless we had a copy of a release forms from all of the people in 
the photos or risk legal action from a Canadian in the shot who would 
object to her/his photo being published. I am sure that other country 
laws may apply here as well.

Cheers,

Marc
