Proposal Layout

Design Summary

My goal is to create a website that is easy to get information out of, while simple designs around the content to keep the site from not being boring.

Proposal Interaction

The first picture is the possible place for the main menu bar. The second picture could be used for a sub menu bar that will be used to navigate in the gallery.












Sites with navigation and buttons, menus that inspired me:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/
http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/
http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn

I like the use of small color blocks to help distinguish different categories on the left hand side menu bars from both bbc radio and google news. It's minimal and effective while not distracting the focus from the content. The style of the menu bars are kind of rigid but it is clear and easy to use.
