Fridge Needs a New Theme
The Ubuntu News site, aka "the fridge" needs a new look. The site has a lot of untapped potential and a fresh theme could help it achieve that goal. You can help!
Requirements:
Here are the requirements:
Design
- A new visual appearance, harmonious with the ubuntu website but not *just another ubuntu knock off*
- My suggestions would be to stick with the colours and fonts of the ubuntu site but not feel constrained to using the rounded borders with the top right drop down nav
- Attractive, people will feel the site is credible
- A layout that looks like a news website
- Possibly include a special layout for Ubuntu Weekly News, since it is a regular item and has a different format than the other news stories
Content Types
This is the types of content people will view on the site:
- News stories
- UWN
- Events
Blocks
These side-bar items will be shown on the site, this may change over time
- Popular content
- Syndication/rss
- Events
- Search
- Video podcast
Phase 1: Mockups
Post your mockups here
http://sd.ubuntu-us.org - I just want to throw out the theme the Ubuntu Drupal team has been creating. This theme has been written very well. Some stylesheets would need to be created for the Fridge and a different banner would need to be created. Perhaps others can build off this theme and create something specifically for the Fridge?
Phase 2: Tweak design and implement as HTML/CSS
Wait until a theme has been chosen
Phase 3: Drupal theme
Wait until we have HTML/CSS
