Help Design CC's New Look!

[Roger_Dooley]

We are in the process for a makeover for our College Confidential site, and would like your input. If you want to see the designs we are considering, click here and tell us which you like best! UPDATE - SURVEY IS CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!

A few notes:

1) DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE TEXT! Yes, some of it is in Latin. (No, you don't get extra credit for translating it. ) Some text elements are repeated several times. The text is only there to fill out the design.

2) All of these are preliminary, and whichever one we use will undergo more tweaking. If you have any suggestions, let us know when you respond to the survey.

3) Comments are welcome here, but to get your comments viewed by the designers, be sure to put them in the survey itself.

4) This design effort is for the "WWW" site - any forum design changes will be a separate process.

Thanks - we're working hard to make CC better!

DO NOT RUIN THIS SITE like princetonreview ruined theirs. i wont even go on their website anymore. consider keeping it the same, the navigation is clean, easy, and not an eyesore. argg...

I'm about to finish the survey, but I would like to share about what I think about each option.

Option 1: It's nice because it still keeps the classic CC design/feeling and re-designed to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Option 2: Clean and student-friendly site. It is well-organized and the testimonials and "see what others have to say about CC" are on the bottom on the page.

Option 3: It's the same as Option 2 (anyone correct me if I am wrong) except the pictures. In this case, I like Option 2 better.

Option 4: Design is nice, but I don't like the fact that the testimonials and "see what others have to say about CC" are at the top of the page.

Option 5: I like this one the least.

IMO, the best one is Option 2. Thanks for working hard to make CC better!

option 1 has no forum highlights and wastes precious space at the top for a stupid new york times quotation.

option 2 is good

the other ones are nice but kinda tacky

I like the second one the best, although the 5th is kinda neat, too. Please don't change the forum- I like it the way it is now.

[Roger_Dooley]

Just repeating, this is for the info portion of the site, not the forums...

[raiderfan4eva]

hahaha Roger_dooley, number 1 was funny...

[catsushi]

I thought #5 looked intimidating!! The college process is intimidating enough, so I liked #2 because it looked more simple, interesing.......endearing?

[ag54]

Don't get too cheesy or cartoony! Keep the classic look, it is tasteful and refined.

[magneticpoet]

Definitely not option 4... personally I like option 1 (and am filling out the survey to say so, too!)

[glucose101]

I hate #2; it seems so juvenile

I love #4; it seems so dynamic

[sunnyflorida]

Didn't like #5.

[repzolow]

1 is best. the toolbar is awesome. 4 is disgusting imo; you got too much going there.

It'd be nice if we could see a sample of the new design for the forums, if, indeed, those will be changed also.
