You should use another viewer.

Thanks! It makes work easier... ;->

I need a background for the upper left triangle. I could use
a lighter red, but also i thought about signal-colours like
yellow or pink. I don't know by now.

You mean the DFSG, i think. In my new work i kicked it. My
wife was confused, and she could'nt read as well, so i
thought the front-cover looks better without it. Perhaps I
place it on the back-cover for the background.

Done.

Sure. But that way, i think, the globe isn't viewable, and
the photographer would'nt be happy if we change her work so
much.

See above. Perhaps yellow, pink or grass-green? I don't know.

I'll see. I like this font.

That was also my thought, and i think we could place the
logos on the back-cover at the top and on the CD itself in
black. It could be enough honor for the sponsors.
What about the LinuxTag logo? Should it be placed on the
front- or back-cover. As long as i know, LinuxTag isn't a
sponsor or give something else to the Debian-LT02-CD. Or
what?
When we take the hand on the front-cover we must also honor
the photographer who made this work. Most likely she saw it
on the front-cover as big as we can ;). But i wrote her that
we only could place it on the back-cover (like all the other
sponsors). I'm still waiting for her answer...
Greets,
Christian
