Project One Roughs

Jonathon-
I like the feel of the black and white design. I think that it has a mysterious feeling to it. I also really like the logos that you used, simple but modern. What would happen if you used a color photo instead of a black and white? Great job!

I'm drawn more to the bottom one. Last week in class when your green shirt was reflecting off the screen, turning the design green, made me think it would be a really nice color for it.

I like the bottom design the best, it really seems classy. The only thing that needs work is your information at the bottom of the page. Seems to be too light and gets lost in the image. Maybe put it in its own bounding box like the buttons?

I like the second one. The graphic in the background gives a mysterious vibe. Also, i like how your logo includes your initials. One thing you might try to is changing the navigation bar color, maybe a grey or black with a lowered opacity.

Ooof, two great designs here. So tough to choose. They both look like book covers to me. The first a software manual and the second a mystery/horror novel.

I'd have to give the nod to the second one ever so slightly. It comes almost entirely from that wicked cool back to back "J" logo your rocking on the second design. I do really, really like the diagonal high contrast name on the first one as well. Such a strong set of designs.

I'd say a couple of tweaks you could to to your second one to tune it up a little bit is to enlarge your text box to give your type a little more room to breathe. Add a bit more left and right margin on your type to open things up a little bit. Maybe add in a bit of paragraph spacing as well. Possibly look at a thinner body copy, though not headline.

If you want to play with color, use it sparingly. I'm not sure I'd use it at all. A little goes a long way on such an atmospheric design.

Great, great work!

I am really liking the second design, the large logo is very eye catching and the layout is really nice and neat. My only suggestion is to maybe add a little color.

I like the black and white concept a bit more. It has an eerie vibe to it, which is pretty interesting. I feel like I'm about to watch zombies walk out from the fog lol Great job

The second seems to be the one my eye likes. the first seems a little busy for me. i thinks its all the bright colors lol

Great roughs. I do like your 1st rought, like the JJ logo, also looks like the smile face. I would probably change the fond on your bottons, the serifs on all capital letters look crowded, maybe use a same fond as your text in the box below.
