Waiting for the comments!
[David] Thanks Deb ! It's a really nice piece of work, I too really like the choice of colors, the idea of broken boxes, and the fonts are very good I think. I second the feedback of Xavier and he already mentioned most of the stuff. I'll just add a few of my own nitpicking : . [home page] I like the way you link the titles Participate and The studio to their text and links, and I think it does not work as well for the Play in terms of readability. With the text in the upper left and the 'Play the game !' very big and more in the center, I don't relate these 2 elements together as well as I can relate Participate and its text, and Studio and its text. We could maybe have a 'Game' title, then the attached text, then two links, one [Learn more] (as it is currently), and one big link 'Play the game' that would be more connected than currently to the corresponding title/text. Does it make sense ? In other words, I really like the sense of not organizing things in little boxes (like the current wiki) J, that your design provides, but I still need to sense the three different main zones of the page, play/studio/participate; I can feel these zone for participate/studio but not completely for the play zone. . [home page] And also, bit it's just a feeling, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to lose one third of the page in the middle of the page (the background picture) with no content. I mean I like the background picture along with the broken blue boxes, but I wonder if it would not be possible to reorganize a little bit things, and have the picture take less space at least in the center, so that we enhance more the content of the three main content zones . Partly related to this first point, the fact of very clearly differentiating the links from the rest of the text, mentioned by Xav, is very important imho. . [home page] If you remove the list of topics in the upper right as mentioned by Xav, I think that because you'll have only the three big blocs (play/participate/studio) along with the complementary elements (quick links, follow us, etc), it will be easier to display the information. . One last thing, it will be interesting, once you review the AD of the game itself, to create some correspondences between the game and the wiki; we could already start to look for references that we could use both for the game and wiki AD ? For instance, if on the game we go for something that would stand between 'real life' (sims like) and sci-fi (for instance http://www.2advanced.com/), then it could be interesting to already think how these elements could impact some visuals of the wiki. Thx J D
