It seems the the second image osama generated is 2480 x 3508 pixels which will come out to just under 300 dpi if printed at 8.5x11 (std american size). However it looks like the image was generated with A4 dimensions - Osama can you create a version of the image at North American Letter size? You might even consider a 600 dpi version, the printer may have this capability. Bjoern you might want to give the printer a quick call (if you haven't already) and check if they'll charge extra to print the cover in color and the rest of the book in grayscale, or whether they'll charge you extra if you don't merge it all into a single PDF. Another important question might be to double-check with OTN that we are authorized to use the official OpenWorld logo. I suspect we're fine but might be worth checking. Also it might be worth briefly reviewing the logo usage guidelines here: http://www.oracle.com/openworld/exhibitor-services-center/oracle-openworld-logo-guidelines-1565263.pdf http://www.oracle.com/openworld/exhibitor-partner-toolkit/index.html Lastly, Osama can you (at some point) share whatever source files you used to generate this cover? This way others have the option to create future versions for UKOUG, DOAG, or other places where RAC Attack events run? -- http://about.me/jeremy_schneider On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 5:03 AM, Bjoern Rost <b.rost@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > i can work on another but it will be standard without any text effect > > I would not worry too much about how and if I like the layout (others may > see this differently) and more about how the actual print version will look > like.
