The ThinkQuest identity module is located at the top of user’s pages and identifies the owner of the content. We updated the module to include reward icons. These star icons are given to users with exceptional projects or winning websites. Our goal was to create a reward system for top users and highlight model curricula for new users.

New Design:

Other design improvements include:

• The old identity module was located on the left. Moving the module to the center freed space on the left and simplified access to pages, projects and messages. The move visually balanced the page.
• We took the opportunity to increase the font size of the member name and create a stronger sense of place. It is clear to visitors who’s work they have landed on.
• Since the identity of the user is clearly established on landing, we designed a smaller version of the identity module that is displayed when a visitor drills down into other pages. This gives the content more space on the screen.
• Hovering on the badge displays the detail of the award.

Post On does two things. It tells the user where a content is being saved (user feedback) and lets the user change the destination in edit mode.

Content destination is automatically set to the spot the user initiated the create click. If the user decided to create content from a page that does not store content (My Works) then the content would default to the first personal user page.

Post On needs an explicit click to activate a change so the user can continue to focus on creating content quickly and not worry about confirming or changing the destination.

Post On was released in Dec 2009 on ThinkQuest.org.

My 3 year old son was learning to sit and use the potty. I wanted to help. I did the side drawing first then one at a perspective. I couldn’t decide which drawing I liked more so I painted both.

I need to take a better photo of this one, the details and texture are washed out.
