Commodore Max Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I think it was suggested before, and I agree with it, that our current "box" on Neowin's home page should be improved. I drew a mockup of how I think it should look like to attract a bit more attention. What do you all think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted March 8, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2008 Man... that is great! How does everyone else feel about this? I need to show this to Steve and get his take on it also! Thanks, Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan- Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Very nice! Maybe you could try to make it flow a little better with the rest of the page though somehow. But yeah, I like where this is going! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I do like this, but don't you think it looks too much like an advert? The current box kind of "fits" with the rest of the page, which I think is nice because it says that Shift is a part of Neowin. This seems to say to me that Shift is moving away from it's Neowin roots and is becoming it's own entity... ... but maybe that's a good thing? I'm undecided about it, really.

Cosmin Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It's impressive & simple and sure will attract people :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted March 8, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2008 This seems to say to me that Shift is moving away from it's Neowin roots and is becoming it's own entity... Hmmm... well, that isn't the desired effect. Neowin has given us our roots, so we need to remain partners with all of the great folks here (as well this is a Neowin community project) !

Commodore Max Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 I think even though we are a Neowin project, Shift has to stand out. The older look didn't really catch people's attention, and a refresh makes it look new and interesting. The point isn't to make it look like we're separated, which is why it's inside the Latest News section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted March 9, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2008 Steve has approved it and it is posted! (Y) **Edit: Steve has asked if we can do the following: would your graphics guy consider making the recent forum posts area a bit better so it evens up, atm the shift ad kinda looks out of place with the recent forum posts bit.. maybe if the background to recent forum posts was a different blue, with the links being white? i dunno Any way to do this?

Fish Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I don't know if it's my screen resolution or some wierd Fx setting somewhere, but it doesn't quite display correctly for me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted March 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think it looks brilliant! I wonder if it's meant to have the text flow over the right-hand logo... I've got Firefox 2.0.0.12 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
