Hi Cole!
I like your first concept. I think the colors you chose look good and go well with your background image. I would change the color of "about me" because you cant really see it. And if i were to do anything different i would work on the typography to be a bit more interesting. I think for the second concept the layout could be worked on to be more like the first if you went with that and the typography for it could be used to make it a bit more professional too.

Hey Cole,
Cool designs you have here I like the world one, great color choices. The imagery is fun to look at. The colors make for a great use in hierarchy. If you continue with the first design I think you need to work on color and legibility for it. The colors you have get lost in the background.

Hi Cole! I like the subtle but strong design of your first layout! It is all so soothing to look at, especially with how legible your body copy is. My only critique would have to be to work more with the color pallet to really draw everything together. Nice Start!

Hey Cole,
I like the colors you used in the first layout as well as the imagery fading into the background but, I don't know how I feel about the script font you used on the header. For the second design what I like more than the first design is the contrast and legibility. You can easily navigate through the page and see everything that's going on with the white on top of the black.
Good start, looking forward to see what you do!

Waddap Cole,
Normally I would immediately recommend anything that has space in it, but now your other layout has the other thing I love: landscapes. Between the two the mountains won out because I do love me a good mountain landscape. My only problem is that you can barely see it. So I would recommend making it a little less transparent. Then you'll have to work on your colors a little bit too. I'm a sucker for good unity so my suggestion would be to pull colors directly from the image. On the other hand, you could do like I did and use the image and the only color source and use black text for everything.
On the other hand, that moon is very nice, and it has a lot more contrast. But I think you can bring that contrast into the first set with some tweaking.

Hi Cole!
Your first one is definitely the one I would pick. The colors are just so fun! Pastels are very hard to work with but I think you're doing a good job playing with them. I think some of the text colors could change so that we can see it more. Overall though the first one is really good and organized. It uses the space really well too! The second one is cool too! The color scheme is just not harmonizing as much as the first one. Both are still amazing though.
