Thursday Notes and Actions Items

Notes

• Logo will be flush against the menu bar; Photos in the header will have padding around them
• Want to play around with the font on the menu bar, for now make menu items in all caps
• Discussed changing map link, for now make smaller to make room for quick facts (map link will open a pop-up window)
  
• Discussed changing color of the quick facts box --> Possibly to correlate with the colors in the images we select for the header?
• Plan to make basic links in the footer for about, dtc, site map, etc.
• Change direction of the blue curve in the logo to mimic 'river' shape

Decision to swap Parks & Rec with Arts & Culture on the schedule to give Jeff time to select images and work with Emily to wrap up the design. Work on the Parks & Rec content will begin on Tuesday. Emily will attend the usability workshop (?) and the rest of us will meet to work with Ryan on the content.

Action Items

Emily: code basics of the website (it is OK if we don't have final images or the slideshow, just use placeholders)

Jeff (Lots for you!)

• Think about the notes I mentioned above and make changes as necessary
• Determine how many photos you will need for the slideshow (9, 12?) and select the ones you'd like to you from the images available on the blog.
• Determine the two images you'd like to use for the header. We decided to use on that shows people 'living' and one that gives an idea what the landscape looks like here.
  
• If the images we have from Ed are lacking in some way, let me know which shots you'd like to use and what they are missing (contrast, snow, etc) and I can work with Ed to see if he can take new shots or see if he has anything else in his stock collection.
• I'd like to send Ed the final selection by Tuesday.
• Let me know if you are able to do the slideshow so I can get back with Dene about that.

Ryan

• Prepare for a working session on Tuesday for the Parks and Rec session.
• Come with photos and copy for the different parks and trails you want to feature.
• Make a shot list of images that you may need (i.e. tennis center, firstenburg, etc)
• Make a list of links that are relevant to your section so we can discuss where those will logically fit in. We had thought we would just link the text in the copy...
• Think about how the layout will work (map with pop-ups icons? or text surround by wrapped images?) and what our final pages will be (we had discussed combing sports and possibly parks and trails)
  

If I missed anything, please feel free to comment to the post. Have a great weekend everyone! ~ Tayler
