GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Here are my preliminary roughs for project 1. I love minimalism and vintage designs, so I wanted to incorporate a bit of both into my designs. My goal was also to create easy to follow and organized designs for my web pages. Any suggestions to improve or change anything is appreciated. (:

Some websites that inspired me include:
http://lizmorrowstudios.com/
https://www.modcloth.com/
https://www.anthropologie.com/
https://huset-shop.com/

Ok! I love that cats are your passion.
I seriously love these two roughs, if I had to pick I’d go with the black and white. I have been into it lately! One of my roughs is black and white also. But you’re so good,that I think you’re playing it safe.

HI Kayla,
I like the silhouette of the mountain in the background. My eyes were right on it. I would work on the type to possibly emphasis the content of the layout and engage the viewer. There is an opportunity for a hint of color or the difference with the colorful website, to draw the viewer's eye to where you want it to go.

I really like the one with the mountains. It is light and airy and reminds me of the Sierra Nevadas.

Hope this helps,
Terri

Hi Kayla,

These are stunning! The first designs remind me of a book cover, the gray-scale creates a mystical feeling. The second design is lovely, the over all pink/gray tone really pulls it together. Great job!

Wow, you are such a great designer I am jelly. The first pair looks great but strikes me as more appropriate for print somehow, idk, just doesn't look like a website to me, looks like a book jacket. The second one really works though. your choice of colors and your introduction are intriguing and spot on. Great job so far. It looks like you worked hard on it and it shows in quality.

I especially like your second design, your colors are really nice. I think you should rethink the font you have for your name.....your name should be the MOST dominate on your own website. The font that you are using kind of blurs it in contrast with the other very legible fonts.

Hi Kayla,
As always beautiful job! I like both and I know that whatever you go with it will be amazing!

Hey, Kayla! I really like both of your designs. Very clean and organized!

For your second design I would suggest possibly switching the font colors around or just make your name a little darker so it stands out more!

Great job! Can’t wait to see your final design

THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!
I'm so jealous these are amazing, my favorite has to be the second one. The colors really tie in the whole aesthetic and it looks professional and it is all super easy to navigate! You should try centering your text on the mobile version though!
