Don't mind my crappy drawing :P And the colours are a little limited since I'm working with a 10-marker pallette here. A lot of this probably makes more sense in my head rather than from a picture and brief summary, so feel free to grill me here.

The home page

Some explaining:
- Big oval is a magnifying glass
- Drop down menu at the top
- Blocks in the middle are user-customizable, as in you'll be able to choose which content excerpts are available on your own home page from about... I just kinda chose those as placeholders, although there will be a default set for guests
- Isometric pixel art style (see other thread: http://www.stephthegeek.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1864 )

Content pages

- Same menu at top
- Iso style
- Main content area as an apartment building (but transition to white background)
- "Billboard" (top right) with new Steph icon and name of content section
- Right sidebar contains search, content excerpts, related content, etc.

Discuss.

:D

very... different

it will take some getting used to.. but the crappy drawing looks nice. I'm looking forward to what you'll pull off.

And.. a new Steph icon? *runs off to save the old one*
