I like the way you played with the transparency in the second one the imagery you chose is good and the overall layout of the second one is also well done. I think just some nit-pickey spacing issues and font size tweaks could make it better but great start.

Your layout 2 is very nice. The transparent container solicits a more modern look to the page. Especially if you are using a graphic background. I do like the background on the first rough... but I'm also just a Sci-Fi dork. Maybe you could try and combine the space bkgrnd and the crop circles in photoshop to create something real cool. Good work!

I really like the second design. The image in the background is very nice, maybe add more contrasting colors though.

I like the layout and the background picture of your second design so i'm gonna comment on that. The colors on your second design fits the alien theme and I also like how your box is slightly transparent allowing the image to peek through. One thing I would point though is the spacing on the sub-page but other than that good job!

Elizabeth-
I really like the background image on the second design, using a crop circle photo is so iconic when it comes to aliens and I think that was a wise choice for you as well. I do like the spaceship and the alien head but for me it is a little too cartoon-ish compared to the image behind it... Maybe just keep the spaceship at the header because it does draw your eye across the rest of the page. Great job!

For the record, that flying saucer is still cracking me up a week later...

You've got two pretty strong ones here. I like the use of alpha transparency and full screen background images. I marginally prefer the second one since the transparent header lets us see more of your background image. I also like the individual buttons a bit better as well.

I'd carry the drop shadow that's on your title through to the "UFOs. Alien. Paranormal." text to unify it. Also, justify your type. Otherwise it looks pretty darn good to me. What do you think Morbo?

Thank you Morbo! Good work, Elizabeth.

I would put on the front page "Weird Shit that Happened Recently" or something to that effect. Make it look like a magazine.

I like your second design better, especially the background image shot with the fish eye lens. The only change I'd make is to get rid of the black alien head and replace it with another image or logo.

I like both designs, although design number one is what I am leaning more towards. It really gives me the space and alien feeling, not that crop circles don't. The first design just hits home. Good job.
