We maintain a backlog of things that could be address, then we explore
design solutions. We socialize the designs with the community, get feedback

Great timing, we've just captured a list of areas that could use some design

If I understand correctly, the goal is to emphasize the message and links to

Robs suggestion to create a compelling graphic makes sense.
Beyond font colour, we can use more info design and visual design to call
