Back in July, Jacob from Mutiny.in contacted me, asking if I would be interested in redesigning Mutiny.in. Being a fan of the site, and in a generous mood, I decided to take on the project. The initial plan was to do a complete overhaul, including re-branding the site, and launching it on August 15th, coinciding with India’s 60th Independence day. But, due to the time constraint, decision was made to keep the old identity, and move on with a new site design.

The point man for the project at Mutiny was Woke, Mutiny’s editorial head, and his creative input was a tremendous help in shaping the final design. I tried to follow Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain’s process for tracking the stages of design; and you can have a look at it here: Mutiny.in Project

As for the final site, it seems a little off from the final mark up provided, but their technical team is working on resolving some of the issues. Overall, they got the site up on August 15th, Jacob and team are happy with the new design, and favorable but some mixed reactions from their readers.
