Eclipse mockups

Did mockups for Home, Who We Are, and Videos section (Images and Podcasts are pretty similar to Videos anyway, and Contact Us is gonna be pretty similar too, so I'm not doing it for now....).

I don't really know if the mockups meet the image we are trying to present.....

HOME PAGE/EVENTS - All entries for events link to a separate post in the forum (I'm thinking we can host the articles there, so people can comment too, instead of opening up a blog... besides, we can make the forum more active, too)


WHO WE ARE - profile of key members, personal page of these key members still not done yet... profile of other members will the profile they have on the forum....


VIDEOS - no comment.... see for yourself... this is gonna be template for podcast and images page tooo (similar, at least)

There you go, for the first stage of mockups I'll just show these pages.

See ya guys tonite.

WEB CONTENT

Hey web guys!!!

here's some ideas for some content on the Redsun webpage.... let me know what you think... if there's any changes or additions let me know.......


Mission Statement
To help those in need
To heal those whose heart’s bleed

Vision
The Redsun’s vision is to have a society without sadness, without pain and without depression. The Redsun believes that the ideals of hope, charity and community, are achievable through the power of brotherhood and fellowship. No matter what race or age or class, the Redsun welcomes all to follow in their vision of a happy and united society.


History
In the late 1940’s a small group known as the Redsun was formed, by Bernard Peterson. It was formed after the end of WW2 as a support group particularly for young people who had been involved in the war or had husbands or wives die in the war. Peterson himself was a war veteran who had lost many friends, and his fiancé in the war.
The group welcomed members though, from all walks of life, particularly people who were lost or depressed. The Redsun discovered their mission would be to help these unfortunate people, and they would regularly go out into the city streets, to find homeless children and adults and take them into their support group.

Before long the group had many members, and was unable to sustain the shear size of their small community in Melbourne. The Redsun, were fortunate enough to receive funding to build a small commune in northern Victoria, in which all the members moved to. During 1965 Chairman Clarke was installed into the community, and since then the group has grown and grown to present day, into a very large/self sufficient community, with branches in New Zealand and Indonesia.


Characters
Dr. Gregory Clarke (62)
Chairman of the Redsun Board of directors

Dr Clarke has been the Chairman of the Redsun since 1965, he is widely seen as the main driving force behind the passion of the Redsun. Chairman Clarke is seen in society as a well respected and gifted man
Chairman Clarke regularly holds seminars in Melbourne and Sydney to spread his vision of the Redsun.


Kerry Hargraves (45)
Chief Operations Officer of the Redsun

Kerry has been a member of the Redsun for 20 years, and the COO of the Redsun for 10. A well loved member of the community and a devoted family woman. Kerry once battled with depression but is now an avid supporter of banning anti-depressants. Kerry found that her battle with depression was only made victorious, not through drugs, but through the power of the Redsun’s help and guidance.


Brendan Underwood (30)
Chief counsellor

Brendan joined the Redsun at the age of 15. Brendan’s father had left he and his mother when Brendan was 4, and Brendan’s mother had been in and out of work since her husband left her. Brendan was found in the inner city of Melbourne drunk and disorderly in 1992 by a counselor of the Redsun, and was taken under their wing. Since then Brendan and his mother live at the Redsun community, and Brendan has now become a well respected member of the community, and was recently instated as the Chief counselor.

Greeting to web group.

Hi web team,
Everyone should have received an email from Kyle yesterday about assign concept team members to every other team, and I have been assigned to web team.
As Kyle refered in the email, this change is not going to effect the existing team managers. I will be more focus on concept managing, and Abe will be more like a production manager.

I had a good look at the web blog so far, and here is my understanding of what web team is doing at the moment:
-- redsun website
to promote redsun as a positive, professional image
-- eclipse website
to promote against redsun, with a less professional and rebellious image.
-- chain mail
(in the early stage of the blog, it planed the chain mail is from eclipse members, but what I saw on the presentation was from red sun. can anyone confirm with me about this?)
-- myspace profiles
these fake profiles will work with the forum, to get more people involved

About the forum, Kyle and me will make around 40 different stories for everyone to start with, they are like 40 different background and identities, each student will use 2 stories as their identity for their forum posts. It'll be out by the end of this week.

cheers

Website Monday

Hey Kids,

tomorrow (monday), we the print group are going to be putting out posters of the red sun logo with the website url on it. So on theredsun.org site if its not done can u just upload a page with the logo or something instead of the very 90's Under Construction.... So if ppl go to the site tomorrow they will be at least greeted with a redsun logo or a date to when the site will be launched.

Thanks, Web site you had the other day looked awesome by the way. nice work.
