In Response To: Re: Draft 1 Wireframe (Johannes Gunnar)

: I must say what I find bad about this structure is that it's way too busy.
With it all the same black on white, I agree that it looks busy. I was planning on drawing emphasis between different parts of the page with color and style later.
In particular, I'm thinking that the header area would say "Marathon at Bungie.org" in the same fonts and arrangement as the "Marathon Infinity" splash screen (big Modula Tall over small Bank Gothic) against a rotating backdrop of various Mullins art, to catch the eye and land you there.
The sidebars and top nav would be modelled after the M1 HUD and terminal/recharger/switch texture types, white metal with black screens inset and green text on them. And each news post would be modelled after a terminal page, back background with red headers and footers and green text. (I would spare the Courier font, however).
: And will make things hard on the brain once it grows. (when more and more
: links are added for example)
More links will just make the right sidebar get longer, filling in the negative space there. Why would that make things hard on the brain?
: Everything there is competing for the attention of the visitor, making it
: difficult for more important content to shine.
: We need to ask us, what is the main focus of MBO going to be? In my opinion,
: the highest focus should be put on advertising the game/s. News should be
: second, and links would be the third important.
The thing is that there are multiple focuses of the site. It needs to serve as an introduction to Marathon for people who are brand new here and have no idea what this is about. But it also needs to serve as a news site for people already familiar with it, without the "Hey this is what Marathon is" jumping in their face every time they visit. And Hamish made it clear that he wants it to function as a portal site as well, so I think pushing the links to the bottom would defeat that purpose.
: I made this rough sketch design do showcase my idea of how I would structure
: the site.
: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79608/mbodraftjgth1.html
No fair cheating with color and fonts and and rounded corners when we're just doing wireframes right now :-P
Aside from everything above, I dislike that fixed menubar style (does nothing but reduce available screen space one you've scrolled down), and you seem to be missing several links, such as the Spoiler Guide and Marathon:Arena.
Which brings us back to the point of this sub-thread in particular, which was to discuss what content gets priority; what deserves to be a main nav link and what just goes in with other links elsewhere; or whether we should even be making such a distinction.
For instance, you added Open Source to the main nav. I think that MOS (i.e. the SourceForge project) is not a major section of this site; it definitely needs a link along with Get Marathon since that's where you Get Marathon from, but it doesn't belong together with the Story / Spoiler / Wiki / Archive / Forum division. Do you disagree? If so, why?

	Message: : With it all the same black on white, I agree that it looks busy. I was : planning on drawing emphasis between different parts of the page with : color and style later. : In particular, I'm thinking that the header area would say "Marathon at : Bungie.org" in the same fonts and arrangement as the "Marathon : Infinity" splash screen (big Modula Tall over small Bank Gothic) : against a rotating backdrop of various Mullins art, to catch the eye and : land you there. : The sidebars and top nav would be modelled after the M1 HUD and : terminal/recharger/switch texture types, white metal with black screens : inset and green text on them. And each news post would be modelled after a : terminal page, back background with red headers and footers and green : text. (I would spare the Courier font, however). : More links will just make the right sidebar get longer, filling in the : negative space there. Why would that make things hard on the brain? : The thing is that there are multiple focuses of the site. It needs to serve : as an introduction to Marathon for people who are brand new here and have : no idea what this is about. But it also needs to serve as a news site for : people already familiar with it, without the "Hey this is what : Marathon is" jumping in their face every time they visit. And Hamish : made it clear that he wants it to function as a portal site as well, so I : think pushing the links to the bottom would defeat that purpose. : No fair cheating with color and fonts and and rounded corners when we're just : doing wireframes right now :-P : Aside from everything above, I dislike that fixed menubar style (does nothing : but reduce available screen space one you've scrolled down), and you seem : to be missing several links, such as the Spoiler Guide and Marathon:Arena. : Which brings us back to the point of this sub-thread in particular, which was : to discuss what content gets priority; what deserves to be a main nav link : and what just goes in with other links elsewhere; or whether we should : even be making such a distinction. : For instance, you added Open Source to the main nav. I think that MOS (i.e. : the SourceForge project) is not a major section of this site ; it : definitely needs a link along with Get Marathon since that's where you Get : Marathon from, but it doesn't belong together with the Story / Spoiler / : Wiki / Archive / Forum division. Do you disagree? If so, why?
