Tracking issue: 6.4 About page assets

[annezazu]

Due date: Oct 10

As part of efforts for the 6.4 release and related assets, this is a tracking issue to cover the work needed for the 6.4 About page features aka everything outside of the overall header image. I imagine this will overlap with the highlight grid and microsite so let’s align there! Tagging in helpers for these efforts for awareness: @richtabor @jasmussen @marko-srb but please jump in anyone who wants to help.

Definitely. I'm working on the highlight grid (#54808) today and hopefully we can reuse some of that material for screenshots.

[nudgeD]

@jasmussen Are there any screenshots ready now that I would be able to get started with?

[jasmussen]

I did not have edit access to the main 6.4 About Page Figma file, so I've been working in this one for the highlight grid, in case that can work as a starting point.

[nudgeD]

@jasmussen I've been able to use a few of the screenshots you created but felt the Font Library deserved more presence on the About page with a larger screenshot. Would you mind giving me some feedback on it? I've added you to the main 6.4 About Page Figma file.

[jasmussen]

Thanks for the ping, and the edit access 🙏

I left a ton of comments, please don't be discouraged by them, for this first iteration it was a big step to collect everything. I'm also happy to try and take a stab at an iteration, based on the notes I left, just let me know, I'd prefer to avoid stepping on any toes.

Hi @jasmussen, @nudgeD 👋 Where could I find all the About page assets so MarComms can reuse them on social media and the general release announcement in /news? Is this Figma file?

cc @richtabor, as I think you helped adapt some About page assets for the final /news post in 6.3. If you could help with this again, it would be great. Let me know, thanks! 🙏

Hi @rmartinezduque

That Figma is correct!

I also have the same assets ready for Jessica here, but the webp images still need to be reviewed by @richtabor

Sure thing!

Hi @richtabor! I just wanted to circle back regarding the About page assets for the final /news post. We would need them before November 6. Would you still be able to help? Thank you!

Sure thing. I'll reference the sizes from the 6.3 release post. Do we have content for the post written yet?

[rmartinezduque]

Thanks, @richtabor! Let me know if there's anything I can help with. If I'm not mistaken, the dimensions of those images are 1024 × 666.

Do we have content for the post written yet?

Yes, the content for the post is here—now being reviewed by MarComms. For context, the content is the same or similar to the About page and other release deliverables/comms.

@rmartinezduque I've uploaded the suite of images to the drive. Here are copies below. What do you think?

[rmartinezduque]

Thank you for these beautiful assets, @richtabor! The 6.4 announcement is live, so I think we can safely close this issue. :)

[richtabor]

Noting that the welcome banner was not updated for 6.4. As an aside, I wonder if we need a release branded welcome banner for this anyhow.

Thanks, @richtabor. @estelaris, were you able to look into this? Is there anything we can help with to get this updated with a 6.4 release-branded banner?

[annezazu]

Closing this as complete in terms of the overall assets. If more work is needed, let's open a more specific issue to follow up.
