They both have a pleasing use of soft colors, but like the top one the most--really pulls you in. I can see a home button on both, but can't make out much more.

Kami-
Great job on both! I like the feel of both of them, they're very inviting. I do like the top on more but either one would work great! Great job!

the 2nd layout is more practical to me, because websites that I've seen are contained in boxes. With that being said, you aren't someone that can be kept in a box, so to me your first layout works better. I'd space out your first and last name a bit more on the bottom. The sign idea is pretty creative.

I would have to go with the top composition, I like how you've incorporated childrens room elements into the design. Only thing I'd change is make the board with your buttons on the wall 30% larger.

I like the second one. The window combined with the fairy looking out gives it a deeper feeling. One thing you might want to look at is making your navigation text darker, but other than that good job.

Hah! Such a great sense of whimsey to these. Yet another Project One that has two great designs.

I think I slightly prefer the first one, though only just. I think the tiebreaker was that it was off center and broke out of the box mold that a lot of websites find themselves stuck in. I enjoy what you're trying to do here.

Be careful on your type selection for this one, as you can quickly clash with your whimsical design if you choose too stodgy a typeface. Also, look at Charlie's turtle design down at the bottom of his thread. He's got his buttons scattered around on the backs of turtles. I think it might be fun to scatter your buttons around as toys behind your doll in the design. Maybe have them be toys that are meaningful to where the button is linking.

Too much fun! Good work.

For me, the bottom one would be easier to see as a website and not have the reader guessing what to click or look at. I would personally go with that one for that sole reason.

I really like both of these designs the colors you used are amazing and I love that watercolor texture. I really like the second design more because it looks cute and fun and would be easy to navigate if it were a website. The only thing I could think of that you could do is maybe add some text to the bottom left window so it inst so empty.

I think that you could work with the top one more a lot more than the bottom one. You can use your toys in multiple ways and the fact that nothing is surrounded by a bounding box is just amazing. Great work, as always :p <3

I've always loved your style and both of these designs are very indicative of your design work. So awesome! I think I'd pick design #2, I like the window imagery, and it's a bit more universal. Great job Kami!!!
