@mkorbi mentioned that he can work on a design with a colleague who has experience designing posters

Thanks for the drafts. This looks great. I think it's a good idea to have different designs for whitepapers / webinars / etc 👍

I would love to see a common theme across the different designs. Right now there are waves / sharpe edges / circles which blend (with gradient) - it's a bit all around the place. I like slide 5 as a theme.

It would be good to add the cncf logo to the designs. Also, we have a B/W logo which can look very good too.

IMO we can just focus on light designs, not sure when we could use the dark versions?

leonardpahlke avatar May 22 '23 18:05 leonardpahlke

These designs look beautiful, thanks a lot for all the effort! I really loved slide nr. 1 and 3 for blog posts and webinars, and I think it could have been a great theme overall. I did also like slide number 5 that Leo mentioned.

One thing I think we should consider is the choice of colors. If we're a group that focuses on sustainability, we should also take it into consideration in all of the choices we make. By choosing darker color palette wherever possible we're taking a more sustainable choice, which is one of the reasons for why I like first and third slide the most.

@guidemetothemoon Sustainability-darker is better on-screen, but maybe lighter better for print (less ink) for when we have physical fliers.

@catblade @leonardpahlke short reminder on that. what to do with it next? Overall I read that we could use them as templates like that. maybe we need to add a slide with like "how to use this".

WDYT?

Thanks for the designs. I took another look.

We have multiple different designs which vary quite a bit. That's a very good starting point. Now, It would be great to find one style for the TAG and follow that. I like page number 5 a lot - we can also go for another option, but we should follow one design idea.

I like 3 & 5. 3 for ones requiring more content, 5 for funsies.

FYI @guidemetothemoon

A reminder to the comms team and our social media heroes that we have once brought up this designs/templates. Shall we keep them? modify them?

These are great! This was before I took over as WG chair but we can review use of this with the team in the upcoming issue reviews.
