DIRECTION 01
Warm Executive Forge Brief
The closest to a polished vanilla SharePoint site: Linen canvas, strong industrial hero, compact project status, documents, events, and team modules.
Design Study / SharePoint Project Sites
Eight Ways To Forge SharePoint
Portrait 8.5 × 11 concept boards for a future ForgeFX client-project template, now including three classic ACME-inspired explorations. Each direction keeps the Microsoft 365 bar, site identity, left navigation, constrained content column, and modular web-part rhythm visible enough to remain implementable.
Vanilla FirstUse standard SharePoint web parts and navigation before custom code.
Forge PaletteLinen and Forge-black grounds with Gold and Copper emphasis.
Industrial ProofReal equipment, trainees, prototypes, milestones, and project evidence.
Client ReadyACME is fictional; the structure should transfer to future client accounts.
DIRECTION 02
Simulator HUD Hybrid
A data-dense, dark operations surface. Strong ForgeFX character, but the telemetry treatment would require the most custom styling or embedded dashboards.
DIRECTION 03
Industrial Blueprint & Requirements
A disciplined engineering workspace for requirements, decisions, approvals, and evidence. Lists, image, text, people, and documents map cleanly to native parts.
DIRECTION 04
Milestone Command Center
A balanced dark-and-light project cockpit centered on phases, risks, approvals, deliverables, and people. Practical if built from lists plus a restrained hero.
DIRECTION 05
Field Operations Editorial
A story-led project home with an immersive field image, current-status narrative, milestone cards, field notes, issues, documents, and contacts.
DIRECTION 06
Classic Desert Animation
A bright painted-cel interpretation with turquoise sky, canyon red, mustard, cream, bold outlines, prototype crates, springs, rockets, and a familiar native web-part structure.
DIRECTION 07
Mail-Order Engineering Catalog
The most unapologetically ACME direction: aged catalog paper, brick red stamps, safety yellow labels, halftone drawings, product cards, shipping milestones, failures, approvals, and field tests.
DIRECTION 08
Contraption Control Room
A darker engineering command surface where classic cartoon machinery becomes the hero while lists, milestones, documents, field notes, and contacts remain sober and actionable.
