Hi all. Last year we were awarded an OSMF microgrant to produce some leaflets. We'd like to get going with this now. The pitch we put forward proposed 5 different designs. Please can you let us know what topics are worth covering (one topic per leaflet design as these are small A6 leaflets of 130-150 words maximum). We will then produce these and post them out.

The photo mapping leaflet mentions "the Wikimedia Commons app", however that's only available on Android. Maybe just mention it as a website, or with out any specifics, as is potentially 50% of readers won't be able to find the app.
Otherwise looks good, thank you.

That's annoying. The website upload tool on a mobile device isn't great - the app is better. I've changed the text to read "If you want to focus on just landmarks then try Wikimedia Commons’ Android app or website."

Some examples reverse side images. Let me know if you have any preferences.

Leaflets are looking really great - splendid job @RobJN. For the reverse side - is it possible to have an image of a map render?

I like the six-colour-tiles design first and the plain-ish terrains second

Oh really nice Rob, did you create those graphics?
We don't map contours (including the 3D contours), so I would only accept those if you tell me it's the "blank canvas" to OpenStreetMappers.
The 6-colour one is a good design, but makes me think of places like Gravelly Hill Interchange - OpenStreetMap and our world is a lot more than just a network of roads.
I really like the bridge/river ones. I'd be even happier if it included a road (at least part in the corner). The one with different areas (high-rise, red houses, small houses) is good too. I don't know if it could be done to be less busy around the middle where the logo sits.
I've noticed there is a tree in the middle of the road! I've been looking at them too much now. :D

Hi Gregory. No not my work on the graphics - I couldn't do that. Just stock images that I found that I liked. I had to push ahead and make a choice as we wanted to spend the money in financial year 2020/21. You can see my final choices at osmuk.org/leaflets . Next stage is to organise a way to get these distributed.

One more leaflet ready and amends made to the earlier ones. I attach the full set of four. I welcome your feedback.
If we are happy with these, I will go ahead and select images for the reverse side and get them sent off for production. We're one leaflet short compared to the microgrant application for five. I propose that we either hold the last one back for when we have big project, or we spend the money in an online promotion drive.
