Updates

Dear designers -- Please don't feel locked into the exact shades of blue / brown used in the logo. We find this color scheme quite ugly and are working on a logo update. The new color scheme will probably still involve some shades of blue and brown, but we aren't sure yet. Please use your best judgement to make a beautiful design, similar in style to the modern / simple aesthetic of http://www.abingtonhealth.org/ We will be working on feedback to designs today. Thank you.

Regarding Large Rotating Graphic area and Navigation: We prefer a full-width display, rather than boxed. The navigation should be visually prominent, easy to read text that one can scan easily across the top of the page. Again, please refer to http://www.abingtonhealth.org/ for our preferred design aesthetic. Some of the designs submitted have been somewhat dated in their styling. We'd like a polished, modern, crisp, bold, beautiful design.

Re: choice of image in large rotating graphic area -- Designers, please do not use stock photography of a group of doctors, or a nursing home scene, in your sample rotating graphic areas. Although this should not affect our perception of the design, it throws off everything in the page if we don't like the image. Please try to select a bold / attractive image that you would like to set the tone for your design.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Extending our deadline to receive more designs exploring other color options containing less brown, or browns with a more attractive vibe. We would also like to see designs that are not exact replicas of the wireframe. The wireframe is just to show the elements on the page. Please use your creativity to utilize these elements in an attractive layout that we will like. We would also prefer to see use of photography that shows a younger, more cheerful, hopeful feeling in the design... and where the photographs are consistent with your design approach. Thanks!

In general, feedback for everyone is, please look here: http://www.abingtonhealth.org/ that's the feeling / vibe we want. DO NOT let the old, ugly, outdated logo determine your design. We are having the logo redesigned. DO NOT take an ugly, outdated template, and adapt it for this website. We want to see something BEAUTIFUL!!! Please give us your best effort! People who come to this website are in health crisis, and they want to be uplifted!! Their good spirits are in your hands.
