Topic: Classic Throwback Design Mock-up
I was thinking about some of the things I missed from the old brickfilms website and photoshopped the current BiM design to come up with this:
The idea is to add some "Lego" to the site. I quite liked the use of illustrated lego pieces which helped determine what kind of update/post any news article was.
I also think the inclusion of a featured film would be highly beneficial. Note this is not a film of the month, as that would require moderating. Instead an occasional film (old/new) chosen by a staff member to be featured with a screen shot. this will help new comers and regulars to watch a "good" film they may or may not have seen. This lured me into watching my first ever brickfilm. It can also pose as something for new aspiring brickfilmers to desire to achieve--Having their film featured.
Although it's primitive, I thought having a latest forum post would be nice. This could be viewed by the public or something that appears following login.
I also moved the search bar to the right so it can be part of the "controls".
Just thoughts of mine, and I made a visual to help aid what I was thinking. I understand it's not super new/cutting edge, but they were features I really liked from the old site. obviously it would have to be polished and applied properly to fit.
What do people think?
