Project 1 Roughs

Wow! When I look at design 1, all I can say is how did you do that? It really grabs the eye. Design 2 is obviously more subdued, but I like the layout more the #1--it has my vote.

Thank you all for the ideas, Michael was right, 24 heads are better than 1. See you all in class!

I really like the first one, it catches my eye a lot more than the "typeface" one. It looks more professional as well.

Looking forward to your finals!

I'd go with the first one. I agree with making a vertical about me box and putting it on the right side. The oval shape for a photo seems a little out of place to me, and the choice of typefaces in GRC 175 is unique and cool.

The top design is much better, really pops out and keeps your eye moving. One thing I'd do differently is play with the colors for your portrait area and text box as well. Nice start though.

I enjoy the first one. The colorful graphic make the web page very appealing, while the tinted graphic in the foreground allows us to see your title. I'm not sure what you could possible fix or improve on, I apologize for that. Great design, good job.

I thought that both of them look very nice, the first one i liked more do to the painting behind it. Did you paint that? Looks awesome! All I would maybe try changing is moving the background image little bet to the left until you can see the lips, and shrink you main text box, make it more vertical then horizontal , to compromise for the space that you lost, when you reveal the face on the left.

Good Job!!

You've got two really strong designs here.

I much prefer the first one though. That multi-colored self portrait catches the eye. Very expressive and memorable. I also like the carrying through of the color scheme into your GRC 175 logo. Nice work.

However, the rest of the colors seem a little to much for my tastes. I'd say let the background painting and the GRC 175 logo do all of your talking and tone down the rest. Maybe got with some black buttons with white type (colored rollovers though) and maybe put white bodycopy over just the black semi-transparent background you already have rather than a blue box.

Still, you have a couple of very eye catching designs here. Especially that fist one. Nice work!

I am loving the first design that background image is amazing and I really like the GRC 175 logo you have. My suggestion would be to turn the text color box to white instead of blue to make it stand out more against the black one. Same for the buttons I think they would look nicer white or an even lighter blue.

Hello Danielle,
Both are very great concepts. I love the grc logo you have created! I tend to be slightly more drawn to your 2nd layout because it has dramatic asymmetric balance, which I find interesting. Also, I like the organization of your buttons and the variation in scale. I think the contact button could be included with the others. Also, the bright blue type on the purple content box is a bit too overpowering. Maybe choose black and white instead to give the eyes a rest and unify your design with your black and white portrait?
