Now you all can bash on my designs



In design number one I really wanted to focus on just a one image design and incorporate elements for a nice ui overlay that flowed well with the image. I pulled colors from the image to try and create some consistency.



In design number two I went with a heavy design element. No I did not make the BG img, I wish haha but I did find it I went with a minimalist approach for the actual ui and the circle area is for a headshot yet to be produced. The other boxes are for content.

Comments appreciated and don't be scared to tear them apart GLHF.

Also inspiration at it's finest

Herro! I both designs looks pretty cool. I'm liking the first one better because the element of design pops out a lot more. The second could be a nice page link tho =)

I really enjoy the 1st one, the natural borders from the palm trees really keeps your eye in with the rest of the elements. How the wave of the link holders goes with the curve in the water's shadow, really awesome stuff. Really clean boss, dunno what else to say, seems you know your stuff. =)

I like your first choice. That is a lovely picture you have.

I like your social media buttons on your first design, It really keeps my eyes flowing.

Design #1, not too sure about your font choices, though.

Chris,
Your social media icons are all really cool ideas. I like your type in the first layout, but I think there should be a shape where you can put more type and to break up the page. But your imagery is really pretty!

Both designs are really clean, the first one is my favorite. I really like the typeface, water, and colors. Very vibrant. Catches the eye. mmhm

oooh, and the circle thing at the bottom of the 2nd one is a really nice concept, i think it would be very interesting

Heya chris! Loving your first design so far! It's very colorful and just more interesting to look at! I love your choice of type too and that touch of color on the letter "I".
One word, Beautiful. I don't see anything that needs any improvement in particular so I can't give you any input on that. Anyway, Great job!
