With all the malay of stuff we’ve had to do, I’ve been pretty much out of the loop of what i had hoped to be doing on this project. I’m still a CSS/XHTML beginner and have been kindof relegated to a project manager-type person. I guess we need something like this to hold things together and chart the course, but I was really hoping to have time to get my hands dirtier.
Here are some evolutionary designs for the new athletics site. Joel is designing the main areas, so I’m working on athletics. The funny thing is that I haven’t really designed anything in a few years with more focus being in the video production end as well as IA and User experience. So, I’m needing any feedback from anyone that is reading. Not much feedback here at work. I’ll post some details on each design and hope for some comments. Thebiggest thing that we’re working around is learning a new CMS, so we can’t be too cute with design. I pulled some inspiration from the usual suspects like ESPN, CNNSI, as well as NFL.com’s New England Patriot’s site. That and what the SID brought from local schools and features he requested. Putting that with the current design and timeline, and we have these to work with.
As far as things go here, we’re a month behind and two weeks behind from our week behind timelines. Bottom line: it’s going to be chaotic.
