Assignment #6

The overall plan is to have a "News" style website with 5 section pages. On each there will be articles or advertising that link appropriately to other areas that model specific 'set pieces' of the world.

For example, on the main News page there will be an advertisement for the re-branding of the city and the development of new water-front property into self-sufficient, mixed use, residential/comercial spaces. The link from the banner add on the website will take you to either a 3D model or 'virtual tour' of the building and the model home.

Also, an "About Us" page will contain any addition documentation or research.

The Schedule:

Website containing the following pages, each with articles, news ticker, advertising and polls
• News
• Health
• Money
• Lifestyle
• Classified

Models of
• The Building
• Model Unit/The Penthouse
• The Clinic
• The Dock

I really like the visual style of the recent redesign of Interview Magazine, so I would like to emulate that in the website/Atlas. I particularly like the use of black&white photos washed with these vivid swaths of color. Also the serif font gives it both a classical and modern feel. See Images, fonts and color palette below:
