Brill’s Content
The Brill’s Content website owed its clean design and color choices, in part, to its print magazine counterpart. Three “top story“ spots rotated bi-weekly updates, while the light blue right-side navigation provided advertorial space for partner site, Contentville. As the magazine’s web designer, I was responsible for much of the design work, as well as hand-coding all template pages and javascript navigation. Daily maintainence of the site was also my responsibility.
The All-Star Newspaper
A web-only spinoff of Brill’s Content magazine, The All-Star Newspaper was a collection of links to the best reporting on the Internet. The ASN was updated daily without the aid of a content management system, so the code on this one-page site had to be clean and easy to read.
Contentville
This design was a new take on the Contentville front page, rethinking the use of color and font size. Darker, more serious colors replace the former pastels and excessively bright colors, while smaller font sizes incorporate more editorial information in a limited space. My design was a prototype; Contentville folded in October of 2001.
