Re: [ubuntu-uk] Lucid Marketing

Hey Rob; The screenshots were taken on my Dell Mimi at about 1024x600, so scaling them up may not cause too much disorientation. As for what you said about the logo bieng too dark, you were right. I printed one off and the logo is too dark on the background. As for the screenshots, they look fine

[ubuntu-uk] Lucid Marketing

Hi It's got to be a good thing to spread the word about Ubuntu 10.4 as far and wide as is possible, especially since it is an LTS version. I do think, however, that the message needs to be targeted. I often go to meetings where I am the only self-employed contractor in attendance, which means

I think only 1-2 of the screenshots are going to be actual full screen. If they don't look clear enough at print, I'll reduce the amount visible in the screenshots (Zoom in, so to speak), or give those screenshots more space on the page.
