Concept previews for 86Borders
Three ways we could build 86Borders’ new website.
Pick the one that feels right.
Each direction below is a real, live website you can click into and explore, in English and Spanish. All three share the same facts and the same six pages. What changes is how they look, move and feel.

StreetscapeRisograph print in navy, orange and paper
From pick #15 of the first sketch round, a risograph clip of a neighborhood
What it is
A two-color risograph print come to life. Navy type and hand-drawn neighborhood places, a bus stop, a pharmacy, a front porch and a market, sit straight on grainy paper, with no boxes or cards. One orange line runs from place to place as the visitor scrolls, and ends in a heart.
How it feels
Quiet, human and easy to walk through: a health plan sees where 86Borders’ Care Coordinators meet members before reading a word about the measures.
Inside the live site
- A big navy wordmark header with plain links and one navy pill
- The six published outcomes as large navy figures, each with its plan type
- Interior pages that run the line down a lane of ring-marked sections
RoundelsTwo-ink riso poster in cream, navy and orange
From pick #5 of the first sketch round, a two-color riso still
Roundels
Neighborhood scenes in orange rings, on one looping line.
What it is
Bold, flat two-ink scenes, a pharmacy, a bus stop, a porch window and a market, each framed in a thick orange ring on cream paper and joined by one looping line that leaves from the Talk to us pill. Heavy rounded capitals, chunky orange pills, and an orange ink printed a hair off register, like a poster from a neighborhood print shop.
How it feels
Friendly and confident, with the energy of a community poster. The navigation sits behind a single menu icon, so the page belongs to the pictures.
Inside the live site
- The four-step model and the five populations as roundels on looping lines
- A values row of hand-drawn outline icons
- The six published outcomes as navy figures with orange underline loops
CollageEarthy scrapbook of photo prints, notes and color
From pick #10 of the first sketch round, an earthy collage still
Collage
A scrapbook of everyday moments, put together by hand.
What it is
Photo prints with white borders dropped on at slight angles, soft terracotta, sage, slate and sand shapes bleeding off the edges, handwritten notes in little speech bubbles and dashed arrows between the pieces. A warm, bookish serif for headlines, a column of plain links down the left, and a dark mode in deep warm umber.
How it feels
Warm, personal and photographic. People come first, at home, at the clinic and on the porch, and the notes read as finished tasks, like “ride booked for Tuesday”.
Inside the live site
- Handwritten notes written as completed actions, never quotes
- The six published outcomes as pinned paper notes
- Every photo labeled as a representative image
ride booked for Tuesday
Representative images, not real members or staff
