Project 1 Final

[Samson VJ Saldana Ornelas]

Good morning! After the last post and seeing the critiques, I decided to with the grey background and went for a starry night design. I changed the desktop layout quite a bit to make it easier to navigate. This project really helped me understand margins and spacing better!

Very helpful in terms of design, helped me understand the layout of a website better. It made designing a more balanced website much easier.

Simple step-by-step layout with easy-to-understand language for beginners. Focused more on the actual construction of sites, but it helped me understand what to expect and what to add.

Hi Samson,

I really like the changes you made. The pages are really looking nice. I enjoy the star design along with your artwork. The one thing I notice is that your email is really small. My takeaway from the assignment is that this is a personal webpage, so that's why I think it needs to be larger, or somehow find a way to make it call out to the viewer. Hope this helps.

Great work, Samson. The only thing that stuck out to me that could be changed is the links at the top seem too high on the mobile version. It looks more like an app than a website. Otherwise great work, I like your use of color and your artwork.

Hello Samson,

I think your web design is cool. I think the black background and blue logos look good together. Also, I think the layout is so good.

Hi Samson! I really like your design. I like all the changes you made. Your layout is fun, interesting, organized and cohesive. I like the stars and your graphic photo. Nice job!

Oh, the night sky one! Nicely done, Samson.

That blanket of stars texture continues to attract the eye and add visual interest. I don't think I fully got that your OC/'sona was supposed to be in the moon in the night sky. A visual werewolf pun. Nice! Your type is working well. Usually, I'd say something about the serif bodycopy, but here it's working well so I won't question it. Good use of colors as well. The shades of blue giving it a gothic night vibe. Also, the blues make the colors on your OC/'sona stand out, especially the gold eyes. Good margins on your computer versions as well. Everything has room to breathe. Your navigation is easy to see, find, and presumably use.

Your bodycopy on your mobile version is

a

little

too

spaced

out

and would have looked better a bit closer together vertically. It's just fine on your computer version. Also, your stars are a little close to your type in the mobile version. I like the distance between them and your copy and the distance between each other on your computer version better.

Good work!

Hi Samson,

I love the stars! They are such pretty designs and you used all the space available to you.

Nice job

Hello Samson,

I love colors you chose. The type on the mobile version is a bit too stretched out, but maybe that was what your vision was? All the space is used well. Great job!

Hello! I love your color choices. The body copy feels a bit unbalanced but other than that, these designs allow the eye to move through the layout well. Nice job!
