Here are some of my ideas for Project03. I'd like to take inspiration from the Adobe softwares and incorporate them into my GAMT website design. Let me know your thoughts/ideas! Thanks!
(Yes, those are my designs. Not screenshots of illustrator . Should I try to differentiate them from the actual software a bit?)
Hi Emily,
The designs you have here are very generic. And I don't see any mobile designs. I don't really know what to say about these. Sorry, but I have no critique to offer at this time.
I like this idea its super cool, just like your personal site. I wonder if there is a way to incorporate this style to a main design style.
Adobe is already confusing to navigate . Keep going, add some more texture and Id love to see this with images!
Oooh! An interesting idea you have here, Emily. I like where this is going. Very outside the box. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it in this class in all my years of teaching it. It interests me.
You've done a remarkable job simulating a fake "graphics software" for the program. Right down to the fake logo even. The grays make for a strong background for (hopefully) some more colorful images. The whole thing makes good use of margins. Nothing feels too crowded. I like the content areas as "artboards", too. Complete with marching ants! Your headlines are the artboard titles! Everything feels well placed. My eye has an easy time making it's way through it. It also makes good use of contrast. Nothing blends in unnecessarily. Typographically it's a nice blend of Adobe's branding and TMCC's. Your navigation (lol it's a palette) is easy to find and presumably to use.
I would have liked to see another design and you only needed to do a sample home page and sample inner page of this one. I think it might look better if you made it a little more differentiated from the Adobe "look" so it does not get mistaken for screenshots. You already mentioned this in your post, but I wanted to throw it in to say that I concurred. As aesthetically displeasing as I find TMCC's green, I actually think this needs a little more of it (no, I won't admit to this if asked later). Or maybe it's colors will imporve once you get a few more pics and art in here.
Not bad! I keep wanting to click it though!

Hey Emily,
Very cool concept I like that you thought out of the box on this one! Everything is well placed, I do wish there was a little more color. I like this idea and I think you should roll with it!
Hi Emily, I love your designs! They're so retro and cool looking! Very outside the box, i thought you might try and incorporate things like the mascot or the mountains but your replication of the older soft wares really fits! It'll be really cool to see how you prefect it!
