Hi design-team,
I've got some feedback from our Fedora media producer in Munich regarding the F11 disk art, that I wanted to pass along.
These guys are working on getting the artwork all settled now, so that we can hand them final bits and hopefully have finished product in time for FUDCon Berlin.
Here's the feedback, verbatim:
(1) The artwork is too big. This leaves too possibilities:
a) they adapt the artwork to the standard case they use, and therefore cut off a part of the design, which would turn up like in the file attached
b) you ask the Fedora team to reduce the measures and use the specifications attached
(2) All files related to the CD/DVD case contain transparencies and this could bring some problems by printing out the files. Therefore it would be great if the Fedora team could re-create X3 PDFs, that don´t contain transparencies. Otherwise the agency can try to rewrite the pdfs but there´s no warranty about the result.
(3) In the file "F11-livemedia-gnome-sleeve.pdf" there´s a no-embedded font ("MgOpenModata-Oblique"). If we want to use this font they need make a new pdf and embed it.
(4) In the labels is indicated a missing font ("Lohit-Oriya"). If we really want to use this font we also need new files with the font embedded.

FWIW, I think that option (a) is ok, to save you guys a bunch of extra work.
Here's a .pdf of what it would look like:

Is there some weird box appearing around the "11" on the front, or is it just my local display?

I see it, too.

Hi Max,
I redid them (well most of them I think) in both normal PDF format and in X-3 format (I think I still have to export a couple to X-3) I don't know if the X-3 format files are gonna work though. But I embedded AND outlined the fonts, and I sized down the files to their specifications, and all the transparencies (there was only one I could find and it was a stray unused layer) should be gone from the file.

I've been in meetings and my battery died so Im booting up now to try to get those last two X-3 files i think are missing in.

Okay all of the X-3 and acrobat 1.6 version PDFs should be uploaded there now!
