This directory contains files for an OSM flyer (in English) that was
originally created by Frederik Ramm <frederik@remote.org> and
contributors from the talk-de list in January 2008, and subsequently
updated, translated, re-updated and re-translated over the
years. This version was made by Andy Allan <andy@gravitystorm.co.uk>
All contents are in the public domain except for those derived from OSM
which are CC BY-SA, and except for non-OSM logos.
The flyer is designed for DIN A7 as the final size (105mm high and
74mm wide), with 8 pages in a zig-zag ("Leporello") fold, and full
colour printing.
The flyer was made with Inkscape; osmflyer1.svg and osmflyer2.svg
are the front and reverse side.
Some notes in case you want to re-create something yourself:
berlin-background.png is basically a 4-year-old Osmarender rendering
of Berlin, using a standard stylesheet but with all captions removed,
and the resulting PNG file processed with the Gimp roughly like this:
First convert to grayscale, then use colors->curves to narrow down
contrast, then convert back to RGB, then use colors->colorify to give
it a nice hue.
The cover globe image was made with Marble, the technique is roughly
outlined here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Marble
