myBBC 2.0
My goal with this reboot was to incorporate two major features into a site that, simply due to its size is rather resistant to change. First, I wanted to include prototypical Web 2.0 content, which I feel I managed to do rather well with both the “From You� and the “My Places� panels. I also wanted to give a greater degree of customizability, which is evident both in the main page itself, as well as the within the “change this� page.
That said, my overriding goal was to implement these items while maintaining some degree of the “old bbc.co.uk.� I think that anyone coming to this site would have little problem with making the adjustment, but would be able to take advantage of the new features.
Unfortunately, time has proven a bit of a problem in that I am submitting merely two images. I would much rather to present my design at least as a working static model of what could be done. With an HTML design, I would be better able to implement a few other features that as of now will merely rest, never realized. An example of this would be barely increasing the text size of headings that large numbers of visitors click on, giving them precedence, much like the “glass� design has done.
