Paulo José - Brainstorm

I keep doing progress in Bachianas Brasileiras templates. Last days I was experiencing an apparently rare bug of Impress, which forbid me to save more than one background in a only Open Document Presentation (ODP format). But now I discovered a way to solve partially the problem [see my comment ] and already made the first version (still Work In Progress - version 0.1). Because the bug, Impress can make few mistakes opening the file, so be patient when trying it. Download from LibreOffice Wiki page All the backgrounds are in 1600x1200px PNG format. The first color theme is Green 1, and the next will be Blue 2, Orange Accent and Purble 1 - all picked from the current LibreOffice palette . For the typography, my options are limited since I don't know how to include (or even if it's possible) a font source in the template file yet.

Hi everyone, My name is Paulo José, a 20 years old Brazilian (Opa brasucas!). I'm starting this blog to share my learning process while a -recent- member of the LibreOffice design team. Here I'll try to focus on my interesting topics in the computing world as Design, OpenSource, Usability, Accessibility, User Experience and Computer Graphics. This is my first words on my first personal blog, so I wanna make it too good as can be done! So I'm happy to show you a little piece of design that I'm working in. They are few simple templates for LibreOffice Impress, using our new branding colors suggested by Christoph Noack. I call them the "Bachianas Brasileiras No.1" (I explain after the break). Everything began when Kevin Soviero sent a message to the LibreOffice design mail listing suggesting we could make new Impress templates. I love the idea, because I usually have no time to make a good looking presentation when I need one... So I'm on my vacations...
