*a place where all church journalists/authors can post events and inspiration.
*podcast links to sermons each week/month.
*address and links to directions to the church (I find this drives me crazy when there is no way to find out WHERE businesses/churches are on the website). I tried to make this as obvious as possible.
*a simple design that would accentuate images and videos (David's a big videoblogger), but not overpower their already-crispy clean and bold logo design.
I made the navigation bar at the top as SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, the authors as visible as possible (pictures and all) so you connect the bloggers face with their writings. I love the bricky/bloody red (for one, their logo is similar to the Red Cross logo), but not in a gory way--I think that's the same reason I picked serif style font to make it look large and in charge. David begged me to make an image header, but I honestly couldn't bring myself to finalize the design with an image header. I think it would distract the viewer and confuse them as to what kind of a blog it is. We came to the conclusion and compromise that any additional images will be added via the sidebar widget he could create on the right below "blog authors." Visit the site to check it out as a whole.
Also, FYI: most all the images are clickable to take yourself to the actual blog itself that I'm posting about, that I designed.
