Hi Maria - I think your color palette and choice of white background works well with the Kids Needs website. It needs to feel happy and hopeful, and I think you accomplish that with many of your design choices.
I do have two ideas to share: 1) I would try flipping the child on the left so that the photo is angling toward the content, rather than away from it, and 2) I would use an opaque background for the content box, so that when it runs over the child on the right, you can still see her through it. I think Michael showed us that very technique, and it would work well here.
I really like that your design looks the same as your design in photoshop, cause sometimes its kinda hard to achieve. Great job! All links and layouts work well.
I like your portal page, I think it came together nicely. I think your re-design could use maybe a few more images or perhaps more information to fill the space. Kids Needs is an awesome thing, glad you decided to do it.
Yes your portal page is beautiful! When I clicked on your link for your project 2, I'm wondering if something is missing? Like some content or text or images? It kind of seems like there is a lot of white space between the kids images. But anyway, great job, and nice use of your image graphics!
I really like your website! One suggestion that I have is the title pages at the top left all seem to get cut off by a letter or two because of the black on black…maybe if you moved it to the right a smidge then you would be able to read the whole text…great job though!

Nicely done! Your homepage came out very neat and clean and I love how you put your CSS validator buttons on it! I think it'd look cool if you could find a way to put a border around your content area, to really separate it from the blue background. Your second project came out well too, though there does seem to be a lot of whitespace around and between your elements. Maybe try to tighten it up or add more in there.
