Design a new website landing page for BRL-CAD #8

completed by: Rohit Agarwal

mentors: Popescu Andrei, Isaac Kamga

The website of BRL-CAD is undergoing significant changes. We have a design mockup at http://cpp-tricks.com/brlcad/ and http://beta.brlcad.org but there are various aspects that we know could use improvement. One of those is the main page that will be presented when someone goes to http://brlcad.org

This style guide can be use for consistency or you can try to impress us with something different: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/work/download/google/gci2013/5844328496758784?id=5649050225344512

Redesign the front page of our web site. The only requirement is to adhere to a consistent visual style and make it impressive. Be creative. The output should be 2 design files, one for large screen, and one for small screens (e.g., mobile). The format can be images or html/css/javascript mockup.

Submit your design in whatever raw editable format you used along with a screenshot in png format. Also submit a brief write-up (this can be a txt file upload or detailed in a comment) telling us why is it an improvement over existing design.
