November 10th

I wasn't able to get my proposals on the website yet. By the time I got to that point I just didn't have the time, but I do have time to put the images on here.

I worked on this one yesterday and it's obviously not finished (I'm going to work on it more now, and I'll post an updated on later, but I'll put this up now just in case EDIT: done!). I was trying to get a more 'kinetic' feeling to this one. I wanted to convey the action and chaos that is professional wrestling. This would just be the homepage. I'm not sure how I would lay out secondary pages yet.

I just used the links from the top nav bar for now, but I think it's too little. I would have to find a way to get more information into it. I think one of the negatives would be that it would have to just be an image with links over it. I mean, I don't how bad that really is, but it just seems like it might not be the best option, so I might have to think about that.

This is a very rough approximation of my second idea. It was sort of drawn from the Zen Garden in that the user could choose how the site looks. By choosing 'appearance' on the top nav bar the user could choose a theme based on the wrestler of his choice. It would be a database driven site so that the content would all be the same no matter how you change the site. The user would also be able to choose what they see on their homepage. So if they only watch RAW, they could decide that they want to see RAW results on their homepage, but not ECW results. Since WWE attracts as many kids as it does adults, perhaps there could be specific content geared towards kids, so Junior could have his own WWE page geared towards his age group. You would also be able to rearrange the different boxes so the things that are most important to you are right up top.

The only major problem I have with this is that it's very boxy, not unlike how the website currently is.

My last proposal I do not have a picture for, mostly because as I worked on it, I liked it less and less. It basically used to image of a WWE championship belt and turned it into a nav bar of sorts. I ultimately found it limiting, however. I may try to rework it in some way into whatever design I ultimately choose.
