Site Rewrite #1

Closed glfmn closed 7 years ago

glfmn commented 7 years ago

We need to rewrite the site to better display important information, contain all of the proper links, and better reflect the branding of the hackathon.

Design Specifications

Functionality

Key Information to Convey

The entire point of the teaser site is to convey some basic information about our hackathon; namely, we want to ensure that we can start to pushing out some basic information to start building a presence for the event, and general excitement within the student body.

Category Information
Date April 8th-9th
Location Dirac Science Library
Name Building Realities
Description Building Realities is a Virtual Reality hackathon; we seek to provide students with access to VR hardware, to build their dreams into the new realities that virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technologies allow us to access. Come to Building realities and find a team, meet mentors from companies you want to work for, and build new realities.
Organized by ACM SIGGRAPH @ FSU
Email address for sponsors sponsor@building-realities.org
Signup link A link for students to sign up and get involved. Make sure they know exactly what it’s for.

Use Cases

Reasons to share the site include:

Design

Priorities

Above all else, the content (namely the key information we need to convey) needs to come across to any visitor of the site. The first and second thing their eyes see: the name of the event and the date/location.

Make it beautiful to keep them there, but more importantly make sure the design is functional. Form follows content. It might also be of value to make the site as easy to share on social media as possible.

Brand Identity

The only strict requirements for the branding of this teaser site are that it fits in with the rest of the existing promotional materials. The Prospectus reflects the current state of the visual identity of Building Realities, take inspiration from there and feel free to experiment with this .

Fonts:

Text often takes the focus of designed materials, so try to make the text an aspect of the design and not something you consider afterwards. Another aspect I like to consider is the way each font looks in white against a colored background.

These are the conventions for text I have used thus far:
