Jose Nunez Project 2

[mel_nunez]

Hello everyone! This is preliminary critique for project 2. I decided to redesign a website about a graffiti artist just to make this project fun and interesting to work on it. I feel like this website is incomplete and needs a magic touch to make it fun and interesting to attract the users. here are my two roughs feel free to critique me, don't be shy!!

Hello Mel,
I found most interesting the first layout, I like how you use the Chicago city as a background and how you play with the concept of the paintbrush as a foreground...it really makes a good contrast although I don not know about the guy that is stand up in the middle of nothing, like floting in space...good job.

Hi Jose - Your first set is really speaking to me. I'm so impressed how you've made those white glows leap off the dark background, and I think it's working well. My only beef is the floating man. I think he needs something to stand on, but I like how you've masked him out from whatever background he was in originally.

I really love both of your layouts. My eyes tend to lean towards the first layout but I’m not sure about the image of the man in the middle. I was thinking maybe he could be way, way bigger because he looks a bit tiny. But I do love the back drop on the page! The colors in both layouts are great and I think that you have a good eye for great design.

Cool design Jose! I like when you get to graffiti styles in your designs. U always do it so great. I love both layouts. You totally got your target audience.

[Heyyou]

Jose,

I really like your first design. The spray paint look really works against the background. I agree with Rebecca about the floating guy. Perhaps if you moved him behind the video and increase his size, he would fit better in the layout. On the second page the color work great and I like the idea of showing the murals. I think the images would look better if they were inside the paint and not coming off the edge. I think your concept is really good and you have a start to a quality web site.

Hi Jose!

I'm enjoying the first set much more- it has a beautiful color scheme and I think the navigation buttons are easier to spot because they're not black. Can't wait to see what imagery you choose for the picture boxes!
