Visual redesign

[pnorman]

Some thoughts on information for when asking

• An appearance distinct from the sites of other OSM companies
• Allowing the growth of the number of articles without menu crowding (i.e. use submenus or a similar technique)
• Articles within a category will have a page providing an overview of the category
• Formatting will need to allow for source code inline and in blocks, pull quotes
• Updating the current content will be done independently
• There's nothing inherently wrong with the current live design, except it's built around WordPress

What we need to do

• Add more existing content
• Prepare a message
• Write message to OSM community looking for design help
• Write to companies involved in OSM asking for time of a designer?

Message draft

Switch2OSM is undergoing a rewrite to allow a different contribution model. As part of this we had to switch from the existing WordPress design to one using Jekyll. This requires a new visual design, and we're looking for help from a designer.

This is independent of content changes, so you don't need to know anything about the subjects the guides cover.

There's some more information at #3, and the content can be seen at http://switch2osm.github.io/ with just a default Jekyll style.

If you're interested in helping, please get in touch. A company could also help by letting one of their graphic designers work on it.
