Hi all, Here is a really simple "universal" ad in the brand theme. Jakub one is much more inspired than mine, but now you can compare or reuse ;) I tentatively made some test with photos from the<a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/776360@N22/pool/"> Flickr pool</a> too, but it seems embarrassing to pick up a portrait as a brand. Best wishes, Camille <div class="gmail_quote">2012/3/14 Jakub Jankiewicz <<a href="mailto:jcubic@onet.pl">jcubic@onet.pl</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> And note about the design and messages for ads that point to LGM, IMO there is no need to explain what LGM is only invitation like the one I've created but donation ad it should explain why we need money and should encourage average users of the software to donate, even for users that will not come to LGM and probably never will. So something like: LGM is the place where developers of libre and open source software meet We need you support to make this happen. <donate to LGM> <this can be a action button> - even if whole ad is clickable or larger As for colours, the site and colours IMO is not the best thing that it can be, in comparison with other sites of conferences created by professional designer, I think that it's better if colours match colours on different media like the poster. And ads should bring user attention with with white background and 2 colours I think we not do the thing we need. <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:39:30 -0400 Louis Desjardins <<a href="mailto:louis.desjardins@gmail.com">louis.desjardins@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > 2012/3/13 Jakub Jankiewicz <<a href="mailto:jcubic@onet.pl">jcubic@onet.pl</a>> > > > One idea about the banner, The logo can be removed but I thought > > that you would probably add it anyway, but I thing that logo don't > > need to be put everywhere. > > > > Hi Jakub ! :-) > > The logo is a must.
