Oh rad! More skeuomorphism. This one feels like an animation cell out of cartoon. Super 2.5D or later 16-bit look. A fun direction to take it, really. I like how you basically made your navigation the site layout. I find the way you divvied up the buttons interesting and I generally agree with your ...

Oh this one's rad! There's some textbook skeuomorphism going on here. Love the visual texture of the whole thing. That distressed paper texture is doing so much work here. It adds such visual interest and depth. I feel like I'm peeking in someone's scrapbook. Love that subtle drop shadow too, to add...

What a nice, clean design you have here, Fiona. I like this fun whimsical branding you have with the little emoji people. They reflect your logo at the top and tie a lot of the design together. Makes me think they're all little reflections of you. Your sense of contrast serves you well here. The who...

Awww yeah! The cityscape one. This one's got such an atmosphere to it. Definitely the right pick, Kym. I love the detail in it. It has a Gotham feel to it that's just rad. Well, either that or the opening frames of the 1980's Ninja Turtle cartoon. That gradient night sky and that silhouette moon are...

What a fun little design you have here, Kai. It feels like peering into a notebook or scrapbook or sketchbook. I find the guideline that moves the eye through the composition especially strong, if a bit challenging to execute for Project Two. Everything feels very hand done and crafted. Your typogra...

Looking good, Quentin. I like the color changing backgrounds between the mobile and the computer layouts. Both work well and use contrast well. You certainly succeeded in making it super clean. Great use of margin throughout. And your use of proximity to group things is really working. A design this...

I like the handcrafted aesthetic you have going on here, Kendra. The shoe sketch makes for a great background image. It feels very personal and inviting. The rest of your layout is clean and presents it's information well. I like the use of the top bar as a framing device for your shoe background. M...

Yeah! Rockin' the Mufasa head in the clouds. Nice move, Jacobo. The cloudy night sky makes for a great background image that does quite a bit of the visual lifting of your composition. I especially like the way it displays in your mobile version, allowing us to see the full gradient and the cloud. A...

These are a real leap in quality over your preliminary designs, Jose. That computer design is 100% embracing it's destiny as a coffee table book cover. Expanding that image out and letting the endless sky and mountain horizon do the talking was a great call. Using your header and footer as framing d...

You've got yourself a nice clean design here, Adrian. This layout is razor sharp. A place for everything and everything in it's place. You've created some greta alignments and shapes that aren't there using the edges of your objects. Good use of proximity to group things together too. Really organiz...
