Project 1 Final

Post by kirin »

Hello, this is my final design for project 1. I went with my cookie eating design over the prefered crayon design because I enjoy the second design more. But I did try changing some of the color design, also using the grid system i make sure my buttons were symmetrical. I also gave my box some crazy looking eyes to help represent the cookie craving. In order to incorporate my name I had the left hand waving a cooking above his head that has tag including my name.

btw, i hope you all enjoy the pokemon ipsum.

I like this a lot. Its cute and fun! It plays with the viewers which is great. If I may, I think it would be btr if there were no box around your text and just do white text. In a way, I'm kinda feeling the box need not be there heehehe... but overall great job!

Is the box eating your text as well a the cookies, or is it speaking the text? This seems more of an illustration than a web design.

hmmm. while I love the colors, with a white background, now there's just a huge empty space around the cookie-eating-box-thingy. Your textbox looks a little bit out of place so maybe taking off the white box behind it would help? Also, watch out for typos. Otherwise, good work!

I feel the text you added at the bottom in white is squished in there, if this is the webpage, just make like a black gradient at the bottom, small think, and the width of the page, and then add that information there, and have it spaced out. I dunno about the text in the mouth, I feel it should be off to the right or at the bottom of the cooking eating box. Perhaps too give it a background for the box to sit in, right now I feel like its just floating in open space.

Heh.

That's an amusing design. I like the sense of whimsey throughout. It's a cookie box! A very fun design that makes me want to explore your website further. The navigation is easy to see and read and I like the use of 3D perspective.

I see just a couple of things that need improvement. One, the text in the mouth doesn't need to be in a box. I would have enlarged the mouth slightly and reversed the bodycopy out in white, no box necessary. Two, I don't care for the brown box on the cookie. I think the type would be visible on the cookie just fine. Three, I'd pull the type out of the black box on the bottom and put it as black type on the white background. Watch those margins.

Very fun. Very high on the readability scale! 8-) Good work.

Really cute design, it's really unique and I the colors you used and those cookies look so real! My only suggestion would be to maybe remove the box around the type in his mouth the rectangle shape just seems to clash with the shape of his mouth.

I have to agree with Elizabeth about the type in the mouth, it doesn't seem to look right... But overall, its starting to look good. The colors are nice and the idea is unique. Maybe some more work on the scaling of the boxes on top as well.

the cookie eating box is cute. I don't like the text in the mouth maybe find a better spot for it.

Yes! I think it's great you decided to choose this concept out of the 2. It's hilariously unexpected! Loving the crazy eyes, nice touch. Maybe change your background color to black for a higher contrast? Also, the incorporation of your name on the cookie is good, although the box bounding it seems unnecessary. Maybe get rid of that and make your name larger to bring more attention to it.
