The-Source.com
We are a community blog/news-site about Free and OpenSource Software.
The-Source.com serves as a discussion meeting point, where to exchange opinions.
We want to inform people what's going on in the it-sector and around.
We focus on those topics with a political background (Licensing, censorship, Law), covering mainly software/hardware with remotely other sciences.
some general tagwords for the-source.com:
information, free speech, community, sharing
We would like to see
A fresh look (mockup-design) of the whole page (all pages/sections will use the same layout - 1 page - currently a wordpress template) requiring
- an nice header with Logo/Font (.psd) "The-Source.com"
- a new design that goes along with the header (.psd)
The overall theme should look fresh and inviting, not too corporate/stiff/boring.
Something that we think *could* be nice is the usage of imagery like this (header):
http://fallout.bethsoft.com/index.html
But that doesnt mean it shouldn't be 100% retro-style, maybe only some parts or elements...
Generally: Make something unique and fresh!
All used images/design parts must be legally obtained and free-to-use.
The content below the header (news, comments) of the page should be easily readable.
Our current site:
http://www.the-source.com
Have fun!
