I think it could be great to easily produce short and catchy flyers with this information.
Some thoughts on implementation:
* it should be a template, not a one-time thing
Idealy we shoud be able to just take random text in this form

then run some script and create a ready-to-print flyer. Thus it would be easy to translate them or fill with some additional info.
Is it possible? Could we just create a latex file and fill it with text?
* it is release-oriented, thus we probably need a place for the release banner
But other then that I would vote for more text and less pictures, since content is important here.
* I see it as a flyer, thing to giveaway. But maybe we need a bigger poster-size design as well?
