I like the bottom design, it really seems like a website, and the layout works very well. Maybe add your profile picture from the top design to the bottom left of the bottom design?

I like the first one. Even though it may seem that it lacks some organization, I feel it shows more personality in the design. Plus the graphics your chose compliment the design well. One thing you might want to change is the banner area. Your banner appears to be smaller than the content area. Over all, great job.

And yet another case of two really strong designs going head to head. This is a pretty strong class.

Chelsea, I'd say go with your second design. It seems a little cleaner and better organized without sacrificing the fun and whimsy that's in the first design. You've got an excellent set of colors that establishes contrast and a great layout that moves the eye from one side of the page to the other very efficiently. I think you've made good choices in typefaces, though I would eliminate one as I think it gets a little busy in spots.

Otherwise a very clean layout that's easy to use and enjoyable to look at. Good work!

I really like the second design. It feels more like an informative website than a blog or pinterest board. Not that the pinterst board is bad, i just feel as though the informative website better suits this project.

The second one is also a lot cleaner and easier to read and follow.

I am loving the second design. Your color choices, type, and shapes look really great. The only suggestion I have is for the type to be facing horizontal instead of tilted because I find having to turn my head to read it makes it slightly uncomfortable and a little hard to read with that type style. It would probably be easier to read if it were horizontal.

I like your expression in both of them, very creative, they look fun! Colors are great to, have a clean and fresh feel to them. It is hard to pick one, but if I have to, i go with the rought_1, cause it has a cleaner and more organized feel to it, but which ever you go with they both look cool! I don't see anything major I would change. Just a thought, You can try putting a picture of yourself picking out instead of the cat, see what it would look like. The eyes expression u have in rought_2 look cute, maybe that one will work instead of a cat's eyes.
Anyways, Great Job on your Roughs !
