New Design for Website

[bjett92]

I'm working on redesigning my state association of BPA's website. I made a layout in Photoshop and before I start slicing up the design and turning it into a Joomla template, I wanted to get some feedback. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks!

I would scrap the tan background, replace it with blue/white, and emphasize the red.

haha. I live in Michigan and was part of BPA for four years 3 time state champ, 4 time regional champ, and 2 time national champ. BPA is a really great opportunity and I am glad you are taking an initiative to support the organization

Thanks! I was thinking there was too much tan.

Yeah this is my fourth year in BPA. I'm a state officer for Indiana this year. And i just placed 2nd at nationals this year. Did you just recently graduate?

Yes I just graduated.

What event were you involved in?

Yes I just graduated.

What event were you involved in?

I placed 2nd in fundamentals of web design and then my web design team placed 8th... which we should have placed higher I think but they didn't seem to like our presentation.

lol! I was in fundamentals of web design but I failed at reading the test. I understood the test within the last 15 mins, but that wasn't enough time. That event was for kicks and giggles though. I placed 11th in that event.

I am a two time national champ in the web application team. I've led two separate teams

Hahaha BPA makes that test completely confusing every year... I thought I did bad because a lot of I had no idea what they wanted. And the proctors aren't even helpful.

Congrats! My school's web app team was awful....

Thanks! congrats to you too! Yea, to succeed in web app. team, you need to be able to implement as many features as possible, and give a good presentation. We smoked the competition this year by winning by 12 points. 12 points is a lot

Haha yeah 12 points is a huge gap in judged events. We lost state by like 4 points because we didn't turn our documentation into the judges.

So we probably saw each other at nationals!

Yes we probably did

NLC was fun this year. Dallas was okay, but not as fun. Anaheim was more of a vacation, and we didn't have the swine flu problem
