#435 Poster design for Fedora @ Red Hat Summit
Closed: Fixed Opened by mattdm.

Hi all. We've been asked to make a Fedora poster for our space at Red Hat Summit. There's a template (which I'll attach shortly), so that all of the various open source projects share a similar look.

It's to be uploaded somewhere and Red Hat will take care of actual printing and etc. I'll take care of the uploading.

The deadline is April 29th.

CMYK is preferred, by the way.


I just uploaded the templates from Colleen in RH Brand.... The final output needs to be CMYK, just asked on the file format (hopefully not EPS but we'll see :) )

These are simple enough I think it'd made the most sense to do in Scribus but whatever works!

Printer prefers EPS, but high-res PDF is okay too!

Ryan, I just forwarded you an email from Colleen that has a link to a slide deck that has the brand standards for the community room posters... you are going to want to take a look at that. I'm not attaching it here bc I'm not sure that it's public.

I have also talked to Colleen, the main part that really needs a design is the artwork in the diamond shape in the middle of the poster. I have done up a quick idea of what the rest of the poster will probably look like, but the middle graphic is the one with the most leeway.

Here is the fedora-ized template design (source SVG available for contributions on pagure here: https://pagure.io/designassets/blob/master/f/Posters/2016_RHSummit_CommunityPoster):

Kies, also had a pass at a design for the middle.

It's added to the SVG in the pagure repo.

It's quite rough, but tried to channel the four f's and the inspiration source material.

updated it a bit, making the background darker, and adding a few more stars:

Added a little more detail to the trails, and made them weave in and out of each other.

reordered how the rockets are shown, so the colours follow Freedom, Friends, Features, First ordering

Final design, CMYK, prepped for print (0.25" bleed)

The deadline for this is tomorrow and it came up during a OSAS meeting.

I had to make some edits to the design - multiple of the other posters had a less bold, softer palette an gradients, so I made some modifications to fit better with that kind of visual style (while keeping it Fedora.)

Preview below. Final print-prepped PDF attachment above.

Use the version I just attached - I had to redo it with the corner template bc we're a corner booth. it's all ready to go prepped for print.
