This is purely a *graphic design* job, submit your mockups and post them as attachments in the Phase 1 section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/FridgeTheme

Following phases will create HTML/CSS and a Drupal theme.

*** The goal is to GO LIVE in time for Jaunty release. ***

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?

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

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
