Time Bank (.org.uk)

Next stage of my research was to look at other Time Banks around the UK. The example i have found here is not a creative directed time bank. This system is volunteer based, its ' .. a national volunteering charity that supports individuals and businesses to find rewarding volunteering. We also design our own projects that give volunteers the opportunity to have an impact in the community.'
I found this site more intreeging. The design is a lot more effective, the colour pallet is minimal and works across the whole site to make it its own. I really like the layout of the site, its once again practical and easy to navigate, its informative and friendly.
The identity is simular to the Leeds based time bank, using a circle and a restricted colour pallet, however it does feel as though more time has been taken on this logo, in terms of type and colour choices.
Another point to be made is the organisation of the pods. They are performing the same tasks as the Leeds website does, however its more understandable and user friendly. This is a good example to bear in mind when the design process turns towards the website.
