[Qgis-user] Brochure draft for QGIS 1.1

[Mailing Lists]

Hi Anita

Great to see you refreshing the brochure. I have various comments / suggestions:

- In the heading I suggest to remove the third line of links (which
are repeated at the end of the document) and instead make the second
line read: "Open Source Geographical Information System -
http://qgis.org"

- I also suggest to center the second line under the part after the Q
logo of QGIS.

- What about moving the screenshot on page 1 right to the start so
that the first thing you see when you see the doc is the QGIS title
and a screenie, and then the text that follows?

- could you use a sans serif font for the non heading text? Generally
I find serif fonts look a bit old fashioned and not as 'clean'. It
would be interesting to see how it looks anyway so that we can compare
against the current serif version you have made.

- change "Project Administrator" to "Project Chairman"

- change the link in the box at the end of the document for qgis home
page to http://qgis.org


Great work Anita!

Regards

Tim
