Overall both of your templates are looking great, I think you could go either way between the two they are both extremely nice, and well thought out. Frankly the only thing I would say to imrpove either of them would be to work on your nav bar alittle and maybe make it stand out more.

Hi Marco,

I think your second design catches my eye the most! The only thing I would like to see changed is more unified colors. The graphic behind your portrait is really cool, but the colors don't fit with the colors of the GRC logo right above it.

Hey,

I like your second layout better, it is very clean and structured well. The color in your logo and behind your portrait really pops on the white background. Good job all around!

Marco_Horta1,
I'm going withe second one as apposed to the first because it has more expression and the images are better played out. Just remember to align and justify your type.

These are both really nice! They remind me of some older websites.
I do prefer the second design for its organization and how much cleaner it feels. The drop shadows seem excessive, however. They're so far away from the text and don't really do much for the logo aside from coloring it gray. I don't think that you should remove the drop shadows, though. They do add a nice character and some visual interest. They're just too much, currently. Try toning them down somehow, I would move the text's drop shadow to be closer to the text or I would mess with the transparency.
Your first design feels crowded by the logo and nav bar, and doesn't flow particularly well with how misaligned the elements are while still being close to being aligned. (Your "About Myself", for example. It's really close to being centered with everything else on that side, but it's not. It's just close enough that it feels off, rather than feeling intentional.)

Hi Marco,

I really like your second design. It is very clean and professional looking. I like the type you used for the "GRC 175". I think the TMCC logo would look better if you used the black one instead of the green one.

They both look kind of similar, but the bottom version use color much better.

These at nice and clean and professional feeling, my only sufgestion would b to frame the photo better, it would create some visual interest as well as make it look like you're not floating in space. Good stuff!
