*Edit 10-7-2011*
Please look at http://www.gq.com, the white background is what we are going for. As well as a slick and sophisticated design. Please use black as the primary color for text. Some additional colors you can use, green, yellow, red, blue grey. However, do not overdo the usage of these colors please.
AE Logo should pop at the top of the page. You can play around with centering the logo.
Social media buttons need to pop as well
3 columns on the page - see http://www.gq.com
We want a sophisticated font.
Slider at top of page - with featured story doesnt have to take up a large part of the page. See http://www.gq.com . The rotating top stories are not that big across the page. We want something like that. Our current site the lead story takes up a big portion of the page. We don't want that.
*Please check back here frequently as we may add some more notes*
