The website of BRL-CAD is undergoing significant changes. We have a design mockup at http://cpp-tricks.com/brlcad/ and http://beta.brlcad.org but there are various aspects that we know could use improvement. One of those is the main page that will be presented when someone goes to http://brlcad.org
This style guide can be use for consistency or you can try to impress us with something different: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/work/download/google/gci2013/5844328496758784?id=5649050225344512
Redesign the front page of our web site. The only requirement is to adhere to a consistent visual style and make it impressive. Be creative. The output should be 2 design files, one for large screen, and one for small screens (e.g., mobile). The format can be images or html/css/javascript mockup.
Submit your design in whatever raw editable format you used along with a screenshot in png format. Also submit a brief write-up (this can be a txt file upload or detailed in a comment) telling us why is it an improvement over existing design.

there was a design guideline given in the description. do we have to refer to the same color schemes, font-styles etc.
and i wanted to know from where can i get some images...
Hello utkarshsingh,
You can find a set of logos here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Logo . As a rule of thumb, you should use a color scheme that contains the colors from the logo or go well with them. You can use online tools such as http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes/search?query=red+black to find palettes that go well together with BRL-CAD's colors.
Other than that, you have absolute creative freedom. If you include images, make sure they're free images for commercial business use which means they're available under a Creative Commons (CC) license or are royalty-free.
Good luck!
can i change the color of the logo.... or it just has to be the same as original?
It's not encouraged to change colors of logo, but if your design demands you can do it.
Else if changing color beautify logo, then carry on, do it. :D
can i put all the informative part in a word document instead of a txt document

utkarshsingh,
This is amazing. This is easily one of the most comprehensive and complete landing page design tasks that we've ever had submitted. Your attention to detail and stylistic taste are very impressive.
Please join our IRC channel and hang around there as I would love to talk with you more about this design and more. I sincerely hope you are interested in taking on other design tasks as you are clearly quite capable and skilled. Also, know that we will be adding 100+ more tasks in a few days so keep your eyes out for new topics (we have a few different websites that need to be designed).
Cheers!
Sean (aka brlcad)
