Re: [us-marketing] Re: Fund raising flyers for SCaLE

I like the revised PDF. A couple thoughts, though....

I don't like how the "challenge" header isn't centered over its
corresponding text. I'd probably make it left justified.

I would also try to set apart that whole "challenge" section of text from
the rest of the document. I imagine it could be set in a very light gray box
with a black border, but the box background  shouldn't be too dark that the
QR code is tough to scan. A box at the bottom would sandwich the body text
between the top banner and bottom box, as well as emphasize the fundraising
challenge by treating it differently.

I suppose the same effect could be achieved with a horizontal rule to
separate the section and/or maybe a change of font size or style.  ...but I
think I'd like a box better, even if it just had a white background..

Wish I was at my desk to help out. Instead I'm in a car in rural Michigan
and doing as much as I can on my smartphone. Isn't technology wonderful? ;-)

Everything is lookin' good! I'm impressed with how much work is being done.
