Next Play Consulting Group was
created to supplement the public
school system by teaching practical
lie skills. With public schools oten
ocused on helping students pass standardized
tests, Next Plays workshops teach how to apply
academic lessons to the outside worldreal-lie
challenges like getting a job and budgeting that
frst paycheck. Its a great idea.
So how do you convey that on a Web site?How about by writing it on a big, bold, chalk-
board! Faster than you can add 2+2, the viewer
sees that Next Play is an educational site, what
its about and whos involved. And the board
makes an excellent ocal point.
Lets see what else we can learn.

Bold, amiliarand she even matches the logo
Even i you were napping in class, when something went up on
the board, you paid attention. Thats a ocal point that everyone
understands, and it works on a Web site, too!

Start at the top
Key to the site is a ull-width chalkboard that the viewer will read beore anythingelse. Handwritten text pulls the viewer into the story and on down the page.
Chalkboard bannerhas unusu-
ally strong associations becauseeveryones spent endless hours
looking at one. Its visual properties
only make it strongerits big, bold
(black against white), and its on
top. In this space, Next Play tells its
story literally and graphically. A stu-
dent at the chalkboard conveys the
classroom setting. The who they
are and what they do that would
otherwise be buried in the text are
now at the top o the page where
theyll do the most good.

Design a chalkboard Web banner 06785of12
(1) Select an image, and in Photoshop mask out or otherwise delete the
chalkboard. You can remain in Photoshop or the ollowing steps or move your
cutout image into InDesign.
(2) Reect the image i necessary and place it on the right. Draw a chalk-
board rectangle the width o your page, and fll it very dark gray (about 98%).
At the bottom draw a thin navigation bar, and fll it solid black.
(3) Add realism The only attractive chalkboard is a clean chalkboard, but or
some realism, you can mess up the surace slightly. We used Mister Retros
(www.misterretro.com) Machine Washabrasive flter, but an easy alternative is
to paste in a second photo (above) that has a tinyamount o dust.
(4) Add the words in a handwritten typeace to
fnish the look. Typeset the secondary message, and
color it low-key gray. Add green to highlight the com-
pany name and balance the design (right).

Design the body o the page
Blog-style three-column page is an efcient organizer; the main story is told in thewide let column, and supporting content is in the right two.
Structure (Right) The site isdivided into six sections rom big
to small, pretty much in order o
importance. Navigation bar (note
its fle-tab appearance, above)
and ooter hold permanent links
and contact ino.
Continuity
(Next page) With a strong header
and simple structure anchor-
ing the site, its time to add the
details. These well borrow rom
the logo. Because the logo hasmore permanent status than the
pages, well transer its typeaces,
colors and other elements to the
rest o the site.

Examine the logo
The characteristics o the logo will govern the details o the site. First step is to takea visual inventory. Pay attention to typeace, color, line and shape.
Typeace Futura Extra Bold is an American classic; clear, very
bold and simplestrokes are straight, and curves are almost
perect circles. For logos and short titles, set it very tightlythe
bigger the tighter; letters should overlap or nearly.
ColorYellow-green conveys vibrancy,
loudness, warmth and youth, all o
which describe the target audience.
Thats good stu. But too much o it
(top, let) is not a smart choice, because
Next Play and Consulting Group now
run together. Instead, set the descrip-
tive line in a darker color.
Angles are active. When combining two letters, ideally you want both toshare a similar edge (top, let). But because letters X and T have dierent
edges, an angled gap is used to combine the two.
Shapes change with distance (Above, let) Far away,Futura Extra Bold caps orm simple rectangles that stack
neatly. Up close reveals an energetic interplay o negative
shapes (above, right), and those circles are easy to see.

Angles
Angles are used or back-
ground lines, navigation bar
and ooter. Gradient back-
ground has abric-like texture
that adds depth and radiance
to the white page. Light
opacity sotens the look.
Typeace
Navigation titles and sub-
heads are set in Futura Extra
Bold and colored green.
Color
Navigational links, headlines,
subheads and gradient back-
ground all use the logos green,
or tints o it. Note the links
are standard blue underlines,
which yields three benefts:
Theyre instantly amiliar, they
stand apart rom the subheads,
and they cool the page.
Circles and rectangles
Nearly-perect-circle shapes
o Futura Extra Bold are
mimicked in rounded corners,
which also add a schoolroom
sotness. Below, rectangular
construction ties to the logo.
