Over the last few days I managed to find a little time to work on the design of the site.
The first thing I did was mess around with some fonts and color schemes for the main header of the site. I really like DaFont.com because you can view samples of the fonts using a custom string – GeoGeekTV in my case.
In the end, I stuck with the “sketch” style font I had used in an earlier mock up. With that decision out of the way, I started playing with colors, and whipped up some combinations in Illustrator.
Once I picked the color scheme I liked, I moved on and cooked up this layout of the main page.

I’m pretty happy with the design at this point (I’m certainly open to feedback too!). I’m sure it will evolve as I build out the site, but it’s a good place to start.
Up next – designing the routing and setting up the ASP.NET MVC project structure.
