Debian Website(s) Redesign Contest
The Debian websites are in need of a redesign that is both modern and unified: all of the different websites (DDPO, the wiki, the main website, et al) are disjoint in both look & feel as well as ways to login. In an attempt to unify branding and simplify the user experience, we're running a redesign contest.
TODO
- Decide what is required from designers (mock-up? full CSS? artwork?)
- I think the result of the contest should definetly be a full HTML/CSS site with all the necessary artwork. If that is too much too ask (?), we could make a first round with only mock-ups and then require HTML/CSS only from the "finalists". People are of course free to build teams where one person does the mock-up and someone the actual CSS implementation. -- djpig
- Decide on voting method (Selectricity? NOT a GR.)
- Pretty much anyone should be able to vote, as long as the votes are unique -- Erinn
- Reward? Is recognition enough?
Constraints
- Accessible.
- Degrades correctly on non-css capable browser.
- No flash.
- Static pages
- Usable with a 640 pixel wide screen (or less).
- Looks nice in 16bpp mode (65536 colors).
Graphical:
Debian logo swirl
(A new resigned logo can be proposed, but the Debian developer would be called for vote for it. But it it ))]]).Debian font for the logo only (which can be redesigned in a free font).
- Pink color (from logo, or lighter).
- The blue color is optional.
- Page main content is black on white.
- Font should be any font available in debian, but should fall back nicely on Windows and Mac.
- Page titles are text, not image. the only exception is Debian logo.
License / copyright / redistribution
- distributed with DFSG compatible ([sample list])
- redistributed online but please change the colors before redistribution.
