1. 2. 3. 4. [Selected Design - For Comparison's Sake] |
Title: Type of Project: Design Discussion: I got absolutely no direction. I relied on my years of participation in the community, and developed a dozen options for the BBS to view and vote on. The overwhelming winner was a strongly linear design that focused on the Quartz domain as a whole. That winner is reproduced below. The three other finalists appear to the left. Rejection Rationale: Finalist #2 received more acclaim. People liked the causal text and the untamed "squiggliness" of the black. They felt it represented the off-beat nature of BBS participants, and highlighted "night-flightiness" that some participants indulge in. Finalist #3 was condemned as being "too elegant for this BBS" by some, and "too stark" by others. One person even called it "bland." The winner (#4) received near universal acclaim. The users felt that it combined the best aspects of the other finalists, with an additional sense of verve that others were lacking. |
