Color Mockups – Preliminary

Color Mockups
Well, we have definitely made some progress on our color mockups. One of the fortunate side-effects of working with photoshop for the mockups is a custom logo that we have uploaded the website. Because of the themes options this was done through the WordPress dashboard, keeping us from having to plough through making it a link etc. You can see the new logo here.
As for the mockups themselves, they turned out pretty well I think. So far we have done one for the “Homepage” and one for another static page called “Gaining Ground”. Here are the links for those:
The background you can see there is actually the “Denied Area” which was targeted for surveillance (I believe – David would have to confirm). The colors fall within the gray scale, which seemed appropriate as the NRO already has a site for kids and this would be aimed at an older audience, and can preserve a more “official” tone.
Leave us some comments and let us know what you think!
I think your website design is a huge improvement over the existing (or former) site. Very clean design and appropriate for the theme. All I had to suggest was going a couple of shades darker on the gray so that it stands out more against the map/blue water.
Looks great.
