hey Cassandra!
I love the second design! The colors are very eye catching in way that doesn't hurt my eyes and it's very easy to navigate!
I would say work on the lighting on the foreground image it's hard to see it.
Can't wait to see the finished work!

Re: Project 1 preliminary designs
Hi Cassie,
You've got some really cool ideas going on here.
The first is nice, but I'm finding it hard to see the text in an open box. Maybe use a white transparent box over the photograph instead.
Your second website is super unique! I like it better, but it could use some lightening of the darker parts. I love the contrast of the CMYK colors on top of the gray/black, as well as that spiral design.

Hey,
I like the first one, I would maybe change the font inside the box and choose one that is more legible. Good job all around!

Both of your designs are wonderful and very nice!
The first one feels busy, is my issue. Text elements are all large and there's a lot of texture in the background image. It's hard to really focus on the text and your eye just goes everywhere.
The second design could benefit from smaller text in places, but you've absolutely nailed the nav bar and title. The rest of the text (aside from your name) doesn't really feel like it belongs and there's some readability issues with the magenta text against the background, at this smaller size. Maybe try making this text all white, shrinking it down, and using things like vertical bars or bullet points that are in CMYK colors to denote sectioning off and visual organization.

Hi Cassie,
These designs you have are both great, solid designs. I like the feel of the second one. The colors are very bright, but the pink and blue text still gets lost on the background. Cool typefaces!

The second design works best. Maybe tone down the colors a bit. Maybe use colors that would relate to the scenery of the background ex: sea foam green

Re: Project 1 preliminary designs
I really like them both, I would build on the first one or change the full CMYK colors on the second. The second design is great, but having all of those colors fully saturated is a bitt distracting, on really bright bold color against the grayscale background would look great but all of them is a bit much. Other than that your designs are amazing either could be effective.
