Preliminary Critique for Project 2 - CP

The logo commands attention, but then again I am a theatre person. good job! the subtle gradient in the left hand corner adds a very nice touch. and pulls the green colors in the website together. looking forward to seeing the second deisgn.

Hi Candace,
I really like how this design turned out even though I don’t know what their website looks like.
I like the banner sign area that looks really cool. Very flashy!
I like the color scheme you have going as it really pops off the page.
The white text looks really good on the black background and I like the green links.

I would change the color of the text on the navigation bar, as it gets lost with the green.
Really close values, which makes it hard to see/read.
I would try to get rid of some of the negative space. Just seems to be a lot of black/background.
Maybe increase the size of things to fill in the extra space or just make more color areas to give separations.

Looks like a good start.
Nice job!
Georgia

I wasn't sure what is your original site that you changed to copare your work too, but so far you have a good start on your site. Evertyhing work, but I might change your navigational buttons to all capital latters and maybe make little boxses around them to pop out. Good start!

Candace-

I really like the theme you've got going on here! The color scheme isn't bad, but what I think might work better is to pull colors from the header image used of the theatre sign- perhaps instead of green, various shades and tints of those golden yellows would pull the whole thing together? Also, I like the typeface you've chosen, the showtimes and bigger blocks of text are very easy to read. However, I would consider a contrasting typeface that's just a touch more expressive for your links and headlines. Since it's got that vintage feel, I know the drive-in thing was really more 50s, but looking at that sign makes me think of earlier films from the silent era. Anyway, this is a movie theatre website, don't be afraid to have fun with it!

Candace,

I think the layout is nice so far, and I agree that the color scheme works pretty well. However, I think that the use of the name gets a little redundant in the content box. Since I'm on their website, I wouldn't expect anyone else's showtimes or theaters. However, I think it's looking pretty good overall and I look forward to your finals!

Hey Candace.

I like what you've started with so far, the colors of it do catch the attention and is pretty organized. I'd like to see the original website to better be able to compare it to, but I think you're off to a good start. My suggestion is to play with the main body of the page more, because right now the logo of it is really drawing all the attention and the rest of the info risks being lost.

[wendy_boddy]

The marquee logo is great! I'd make the show posters all the same size there on the right or the top page.

I like the layout
That's very clean, and it's easy to find information!
Btw, copy right is option key + G ©

Good job!
