Re: (re)Developing the Ubuntu Studio Site
I'm working an another mockup too based on a modified Drupal theme, but haven't finished it yet. But here's what I come up with today. Colors and theme based on and around Cory's early Maverick concept logo. As suggested by Scott, the most obvious of tasks should have big buttons and big clear text. Obviously, final text, size and fonts could be changed and altered to suit and appeal, but you get the general idea. What to put on the front page, well, is up to whoever has the final say I guess. http://home.comcen.com.au/foxmulder881/development/ubuntu_studio-revamp/website-mockups/draft_mockup_proposal_final1.png Or with something similar to what we have on the current UbuntuStudio.org site. Or perhaps a YouTube Video as suggested and demonstrated by Scott's mockup. http://home.comcen.com.au/foxmulder881/development/ubuntu_studio-revamp/website-mockups/draft_mockup_proposal_final2.png All comments and feedback welcome.

Re: (re)Developing the Ubuntu Studio Site
Sorry, I had some weird shit happening when posting links due to the characters I was using on my ftp server. I've changed the link characters directly on the server so it works now. Third time lucky!

I'm sorry if I missed it Chris, (i looked back but musta missed it) but can you send links of sites you've done? I wanna see what you can do graphically. -Cory K -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Although the color scheming and themeing needs work. But the layout is good and I do agree with having the most used and wanted items clearly visible and in the users' face. My layout examples are only proposals of layout. Still working on an actual website example mockup which as mentioned, hopefully I'll be able to upload and link this afternoon. My layouts are very traditional in appearance which I also thought may be of some benefit due to ease-of-use and navigation for particularly new users/members. But I guess we'll leave it up to feedback from the community and fellow Ubuntu Studio users. Here's a few I have so far. http://home.comcen.com.au/foxmulder881/development/ubuntu_studio-revamp% 5Bweb%5D/layout/mockup_example_1a.png http://home.comcen.com.au/foxmulder881/development/ubuntu_studio-revamp% 5Bweb%5D/layout/mockup_example_2.png http://home.comcen.com.au/foxmulder881/development/ubuntu_studio-revamp% 5Bweb%5D/layout/mockup_example_2a.png http://home.comcen.com.au/foxmulder881/development/ubuntu_studio-revamp% 5Bweb%5D/layout/mockup_example_3.png Obviously, they're not to any scale and are designed to give a rough idea of where things could be placed. Also, something else to consider, if we are going down the route of Drupal, what version will we using? I'm also hoping to get a test site up and running this week on my web server so I can tinker with a few things.

I'm also working on some layout mockups as we speak in OO.o Draw. I've got a couple of things to do this morning but hopefully can complete and upload them for viewing this afternoon and get some feedback from the community. Regarding, theme and colors of the site, I think if we try and tie it in with the logos that Cory K has created, that would be great. Anyway, we'll talk about it after we've seen some mockups and design proposals.

And I do think they'd tie in nicely with the new site once redeveloped. I'm working on some mockups with the other fellas as we speak. So hopefully we could get it to tie in nicely with your logo concepts theme wise. I like the effect of the second one better than the first. With the second one, it's too sharp and requires the softness of the first. Perhaps use the same first image but just add the tagline above it for a logo with tagline. But still keep them as 2 different images. Oh and I think you should ditch the 10.10 text. I don't think it's relevant for the long-term and is only going to cause disruption and confusion over a period of time among members old and new.

Keep in mind that I literally spent fifteen minutes doing this, it's not terribly pretty, but it serves as a vehicle for the concept. When I get home tonight I'll upload it and post a link.
