Good point, adding them to the loop with full context too. Also, some precisions: - we can't really organize some sort of artwork contest like we (try) to do for release artwork since it needs to happen pretty fast - I think layout should be release-agnostic or it'll be deprecated at one point (and smartcards are usually here to stay) - I have a few design guides from kernel concepts but interested people should contact them directly if they have questions about the layout, I guess > > > I'm not subscribed to events@ so please keep me on CC: for replies. > > > > Regards, > > -- > > Yves-Alexis > > > > [1]: http://shop.kernelconcepts.de/product_info.php?cPath=1_26&products_id=42 > > [2]: http://shop.kernelconcepts.de/index.php?cPath=22_38 > > Looking forward to buy one, > Cheers.
