Home Page Promo Graphics


Recommended Posts

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 ?

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.

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.

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) !

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.

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?

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:
