Making leaflets

Here is some info about making leaflets. Please add information, links to source code and source files that others can use as a starting point for making their own leaflets.

3-panel A4

Tex and LaTeX are notoriously bad at producing this format.

• Scribus [1]
• LyX [2]
• OpenOffice.org Draw [3]

White background

Possibly the only project that uses Tex/LaTeX for this type of flyer is NetBSD:

• The NetBSD flyers page
• The .tex source code

Here's one done in OpenOffice:

• http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lars/Flyers/Trifold-A4-gNewSense.odg

Glossy, borderless

Most home/office printers can't print right to the edge of pages, so you'll almost surely have to go to a print shop to make these.

Example of a nice looking leaflet: Open Rights Group "We Protect Your Bits"
