This is a new thread for the design details notes. Some items: progress is neat looking overall. I like the better image of crowd of characters instead of the grid that looked too much like a statistical graph of some sort. Regarding the more forest look and the city in the distance, it's got some good elements. I think the trees are a bit too stylized to figure out what's going on, what they are. They don't have enough tree-like features. I wish I could express this more clearly, but I like the direction and yet it just needs something different to make it easier to immediately recognize what we're seeing. I still would like to have more of a bank of snow on the side of the road, maybe both sides, just a better sense of dimension where one can get the idea of the snowdrift more clearly, like how my drawing on the current live intro has a sense that there's some high snow right up close. What you have is already better though vs before. I think "Join us in setting the world free!" mostly detracts from the slogan since it is the same sort of message but just more wordy and different. I also think the "Let's clear the path" text is redundant to the button text (and I like 'Let's clear…' better). I think we should reconsider the existence and details about the big landing page button. I've never really liked a wordy button that says "how we clear the path". And the "how it works" thing is prominent enough now in the navbar. The thing I think I'd like to see is some sort of indication about the metaphor that gets at "what is the snowdrift dilemma?" or something like that, where the "how it works" part describes our solution, and the key item we otherwise are pointing people to is about getting them to recognize the problem in the first place. On the pledging view and elsewhere: you have a real problem with the word "patron"? We went around discussing this a long while back and felt that term was the clearest, despite no term being perfect. You seem to be avoiding it. I see "co-donor" (which I don't really like) and "supporter" and "supporters" which is fine but isn't the term we've been using. Is there something wrong in your view with "patrons"? Anyway, the "Inkscape recieves" numbers don't make any sense to me, but we'll have accurate numbers when we have the live site working. Mostly, looking great! -- Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop <https://snowdrift.coop> _______________________________________________ Design mailing list Design@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/design
