Your name should be more prominent in the hierarchy. It's kind of odd not finding out whose website this belongs to until I read the "about" text.

Agreeing with Charlie and adding, I think that you could put your name where the logo is. This site is about you, not so much TMCC. Also there is a tangency thing bugging me with how close the heading for your body copy is to the top of the deck/bottom of the railing. Otherwise SUPER cool design giving us the 3 dimensionality with the atmospheric perspective. I'm also wondering what it would look like if you tried using that orange in your headings for the color of your links?

I'm glad you chose this page! Colors work well and very professional too. I'm reli digging the buttons on the fence. I think thats what sets yours apart from the rest. Great job =)

Very nice page layout. Like the image, your link buttons can change to orange when you hover over it.

Ooooh I love how you made your grayscale image to purple and picked orange and yellow for the type. Love the color choices here! I still love how your text shrinks towards the horizon and creates dimensionality. I don't have much to say about your work besides Good Job!

I really like the sun shine circle that happens from the water onto the bench, creates a nice path for the eye to travel, and view all the information. Now if that was planned, genius!

Only thing I would play with would be the text in yellow, I think your links need to be on top and the largest, since they are the most important, then Spring 2014/grc 175 could be a little smaller, and maybe a different color, not sure how that would look but something to think about?

I want to see your name as more of a deisgn element and maybe have button for your email?

I enjoy your design. I bet you would have liked to use this one for grc 119. One thing you might want to try is darkening the yellow type just a little that way its not so strong it takes over your paragraph.

Glad you chose this one. I love it's geometry and the sense of vanishing point.

The whole design has such a great use of contrast throughout. It really heightens the colors when they are used. That navigation is excellent as well. I like that it's pinned to the right which is non-typical and makes the design stand out. I also really like the way your worked with the slats in the bench as your layout. Good stuff.

The type needs a bit of work though. I'd scoot down the whole type block so the headline gets a little margin from the edge of the lake. I'd also use a lighter type for the bodycopy and move it down slightly to differentiate it from your subhead. Also, I thing your email link would look better if it were the same width as your type block or were left aligned with the type block. I'd also make "Spring 2014" white to differentiate it from your buttons.

Otherwise a really neat layout and another concept that works well with a background photo. Nice work!
