Ideas and Inspiration for Design, Layout and Content

Some more sites to add to the inspiration list:

  • I like the layout and design -particularly the 'Features and Analysis section', where links to Features are accessed by clicking on images of the riots- let's do something similar!!
  • I also like the 'background section'- we could use something similar to make our unique angle applicable to a broader context.

The Drum - has a great section dedicated just to social media news, with many focused particularly on London riots.



Content Structure (which our users would be interested in):
  • Homepage- with opinion pole, timeline and video
  • Opinion pieces (3)
  • Features (4-6)
  • Background information/Timeline
  • Expert Views section where we could include video interviews
  • Images
  • Video
  • Forum/Comments section for each written piece
  • Links to Facebook and Twitter feeds from all web pages

Articles and opinion pieces to inspire ideas for our web features and opinion pieces:

Is it weird that part of me wants to 'like' this?

The BBC News site dealing with the riots (how they spread, why, opinions etc) is most like what I had in mind for the layout, with a few updates to tailor it for our 'younger' target audience.

Also with a difference in content. Obviously.

I really like the layout on the BBC News section as well!!

I think in terms of tailoring it to a younger audience it may be a good idea to consider incorporating some user-driven interactive content as this will speak to the audience and really highlight what the feature is all about.
