M06 CP - Home Page & Navigation System, Final Project

 I completed my home page and navigation system for a non-profit organization called Operation Adopt a Soldier Inc. (www.operationadoptasoldier.org, is there existing site).  They are a local group that works with soldiers and their families as well as veterans to aid them by doing whatever necessary to help out at no cost to the soldier or their family.   I enjoyed this project as well as scavenging the internet for interesting and eye catching photos that I could manipulate to create what I was looking for.  The navigation system that I created I thought was interesting by creating most of the main page links at the top of the site and locating a volunteer link at the bottom under the main story photos.  I choose black for the organization header because it gave it a look similar to that of a top secret folder.  I put the starts together to act like radial buttons on the website menu.  Also, as with any current organization website I added social networking icons as well.

First Draft.  Did not like the text at all...





Final:  Decided on black and white for the background to really bring out the green on the "green earth" picture.  Also feel that it helped accent the text at the top allowing it to draw your attention back to the bottom text.  Thoughts ???
Revised version of final split in two with larger text:
