New client opening page - concept

Concept Art:

This looks great !!

That looks awesome, I assume this is a prototype that's not available yet right? Also I IMO it would be nice for the client to default to the news page when it opens, so that most people at least get to glance at current developments before they go play a match. I know I used to forget about the news and just go create a game.

Sorry yes it is just concept art. It's part of a pitch I am doing to revolutionize the newsfeed.

There is a setting to remember the last opened tab, you can turn it off, to land on "what's new" at every launch.

That setting definitely should be auto turned off if the whats new tab gets its update. It will result in hundreds if not thousands more ppl that will check out the news.

Guess i'll grill you a little bit in hopes your pitch will end up being better.

- You have 3 columns of varying size and shape here, why? do you intend on seperating certain news by column?
- You have some sort of reddit "flair/tag" system, but no menu options to be able to quickly filter by tag?
- Also, ladder gets a gold bar? And why does a ladder cast not have a gold bar but the description text does?
- Where will you get your copywriters/imagery from, or who?
- How are you expecting this to go on a 1080 wide screen, or worse; the poor souls using 4k?

I get that it's just a rough draft but at least it's something to think about.
I can throw this onto a proper grid/other layout if you want, you know where to find me.

you can add your pov on this issue if you want

So, this is a nice concept, and playing devil's advocate, may I ask how long it would take to code this and get it set up?

It is a very very much improved idea, though, love where your head is at.

Thanks for all the hard work but it is too crowded and confusing. Like reading a tabloid - not my cup of tea
