Hello again everyone,
I've managed to get the InDesign files and have been doing a little work on
the brochure. There's now a draft localised version for the UK. This is
attached. I really like it but wonder what others think?
Andy, I take on board your suggestion about removing the grey background in
places but I actually think it adds quite a lot to the design so I've kept
it.
With regards to freedom of panorama, as mentioned before I know nothing
about this so if anyone can take a look at the copy and suggest any
appropriate changes I'll take care of it.
Hope you like the booklet!
Stevie

Why produce a paper brochure? Because of immediacy,
e.g. in training
sessions it's more convenient for people to have something in front of them
to step through rather than opening yet another browser tab. If we want to
get our message through to staff in content projects and GLAMs, immediacy
may well make the difference when they are being bombarded with recommended
links or contacts. Good point about ink though.

A new brochure about Wikimedia Commons has been
produced. Designed to be
a companion brochure to the Welcome to Wikipedia brochure, it covers what
Commons is, how to upload files, how to use files, and the basics of free
licenses -

We would like to have a version printed in the UK as well. What are your
thoughts on the content?
The grey background of some pages will burn up ink if people print their
own copies; white would be better.
There is a lack of continuity in referring to uploading "images" vs.
"media" - at one point, it says "You can also upload audio", but
doesn't
mention video
It is misleading on freedom of panorama. It says you can upload pictures
of "old" buildings, if they're "in the public domain". (It may be
wise to
mention the difference between FoP in the UK, and in countries where the
law is less liberal on the matter.)
Environmentally speaking, why produce a paper brochure? Why not put the
material online, and hand out business (size) cards with a URL and QR code?
Otherwise, a good initiative.
