Cumunity sites

Some more ideas for my community site.

A  New Zealand Scottish community, for people who have Scottish heritage. Or even just people interested in the culture of Scotland. The site will feature things like, a forum. For people to discuss interests, their families clan, organize events etc. For this site in particular I was thinking for it to have a strong charitable aspect, similarly to that of/ or work in conjunction with the Scottish Athletics club located in Wellington. Which track and celebrate Scottish events, and Scottish athletes.

Another idea I quite liked the idea of was a redesign of Adversity gaming, a New Zealand gaming community  site focused on the more competitive aspect of games. The site would need to continue its forum, with the same or similar divisions based on subject. The general aesthetic of gaming or game related sites is typically comprised of black, greys and/ or dark colours often with metal or carbon fibre textures. Often with a futuristic, technological look to them with buttons sometimes looking like little metallic objects.

Cyborg gaming, uses a sleek metallic look 

MLG (Major league Gaming) Using a dark interface with a texture

IGN, Mostly black interface (which changes with new game releases)

Machinima, Dark textured interface

Razor, Dark textured interface

Steam, dark textured interface

For a redesign I would try to avoid using a dark interface, however may retain some of the textures. To maintain a common link to other gaming sites, while trying to make the Adversity gaming somewhat more unique than it currently is.
