Project 3 Preliminary-Katelyn Brooke

[katyroses]

Hi guys! Here is the website that I am redesigning: https://renoglamourgal.weebly.com/
My goal for this website it to make it more modern, but dynamic. I followed her logo colors to make it consistent. I played around with clean, but creative designs. I think in the end I will combine my two designs.
My first layout focuses on eye-catching, but clean design. I wanted to use bold photos and compliment it with bright colors and bold typography.
My second layout focuses on sketches and a more creative approach. I experimented with more marker/artsy base typography, but complimented it with some clean font styles. I definitely will experiment with that concept in my final.
Let me know what you think!

Hey Katelyn, you have two amazing designs for your site! They really pop out and make you say Wow! The top design with the portraits of women is your stronger design. The layout of the site is clean and easy to navigate. The pink matches the black and white that dominates the site. The images look good and are placed well. There isn't anything I could come up with that should change. Great work!

I am living the first concept! I love the layout and especially the colors you chose to use for the website. I have no problem with the fonts! Great work!

Hi Katelyn,

Great designs! The colors really work well together and make a bold statement, as well as the fun stripes. I'm really hard pressed to find something you could improve. You might consider making the nav area a bit bigger for the mobile versions. Nice job!

Hi Katelyn- I really like the first set of designs! I think it's bold and reminds me of layouts of fashion magazines. The only thing I can think of is the grey quote is a little harder to read on the mobile layout. Other than that I think it's a great fashion vibe!

I'd certainly say your achieved your goals here, Katelyn. These are modern and dynamic, your "d1" designs in particular.

I do like your "d1" designs better. They're more visually interesting to me. Both because of the photographs and also because of the layered detail, overlapping objects, and objects breaking out of their containers. It has a depth and motion your other design lacks. I love the contrast you've set up here. Everything is BRIGHT! And the Magenta just jumps off the page. Great type choices as well. The sans-serifs are bold, clean, and in your face, while the handwriting font is much more personal and subdued. A great visual contrast. I also like the brush stroke accent. It repeats in and around your design enough to be eyecatching but not so much it get's repetitive and boring. It also collapses nicely into an equally good mobile layout.

I'd add a little more margin between the quote and "Glamour Gal" on the computer home page. More like what you have on your mobile home page. I'm also curious to see what you do with the logo situation.

Awesome work!

Hello Katelyn,

Both of your redesigns are really awesome. They both greatly improve the visual interest from the original design for sure! Between the two versions I do think the 1st version works a little better here. I think the use of the model images helps it feel more 'professional' but also 'glamorous' while the illustrated images from the 2nd version make me think more 'teen magazine'.

Super good use of colors and contrast! Excited to see the final design

Both designs are good for color and layout, I prefer the first design over the second. Good work, keep it up.

Hi!

Nice job on both. I like a lot the colors you have chosen to make it pop out. Also the little quote that you put out there make it look friendly while professional. The layout with the drawing eyes is very interesting, though I don't understand the black space over there. Is is future text? Very nice. the models you have chose combine well wit the porpoise of the business.
