these are my three initial webpage concepts in wireframes. i completely understand if you don't want to read all of my chickenscratch handwriting, but i highly recommend you follow the riveting user scenarios at the bottom of each sketch. (they're the ones in caps.)
first, and the crowd-favorite, the iconhappy widgetnews! highlights include: 4 priority spaces that the reader can fill with the news sections that interest her most, so she can see quick previews of these stories at first glance; and icons that turn into little widgets or a big widget depending on where you drag them. they also, of course, function as links. this is what i'm moving forward with, with moments incorporated from other concepts.
the subsection of entertainment works the same way as the main page, with priority boxes and icon/widgets.
next up, the newsstripes! this one's a little tricky... the point is, the content runs in horizontal stripes rather than down vertical columns on the page. hovering on the edges of the stripes will cause them to scroll side to side, revealing more content in chronological or popular order.
again, the subsection of entertainment works the same way the main page does.
lastly, the other one. it doesn't have a catchy name. it deals a lot with favorites, though, so there's that. there's a way to collect your favorite articles, and your favorite writers, so you can keep up with what they do. these functions are going to be appropriated by the concept i actually move forward with (iconhappy widgetnews).
the favorite writer function utilizes writer profile pages, with a headshot, bio, and links to the their most recent and most popular articles, as well as suggestions to other dallas morning news or other newswriters, based on what your favorites write about and how they write.
man, that opera must really be something. onward to digitals!
