Yeah, sorry this isn't meant to be definitive. Just a proposition to everyone. I probably should have explained more why I wanted to do something different. The design being used on the current /preview (the one we all agreed on) looses almost all structure as you scroll away from the top, when the side bar ends and your just sat in a white screen with text slightly of centre. I know this can be addressed without such a drastic change, but I started working on an inner page with a smaller header and it just looked so bland and monochromatic [1] so I had a play around got some terrible results [2], [3] I kind of missed the feel of the early designs [4]. So I came up with that which I posted just now [5]. > Why did the site have to get web 2.0 bandwagon-ified? Sorry not really intentional - that is to say, I didn't sit there and think, "lets jump on that wagon to the tune of 2.0" but I am very easily influenced. (be thankful it doen't look just like the rails page). If you can just see it for the header and menu. Any web 2.0 specifics cover up with sticky notes or something. Of the top of my head I'm thinking maybe the striped background and bright pink text? perhaps the blank download box and icons, but I think that looks quite striking? I can re-colour! but structurally don't you think it works better? getting more of the important information higher up. > I've got plenty of issues with this design, but I'd like to get those > out of the way first. hit me baby! :-) [1] http://koorb.co.uk/static/images/tglogos/layouts/blue-light-3-inner.png [2] http://koorb.co.uk/static/images/tglogos/layouts/blue-light-3-inner-gear-cropped.png [3] http://koorb.co.uk/static/images/tglogos/layouts/blue-light-3-inner-gear.png [4] http://koorb.co.uk/static/images/tglogos/layouts/layout-1.png [5] http://koorb.co.uk/turbogears/preview/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
