You did a great job of sticking to the forest theme. In the first design, the text feels like its hanging out in the open and kind of scattered. The body copy takes away from the space in which the skull lies.
Your second design is really working well. I would add maybe a brown rectangle behind your navigation, and change the headline to be the same tan/gray color as the box that holds your body copy. You have great diagonal movement in this one.

Hey,

I like your second layout better, the elements work together a little more smoothly than in your first one. Good job all around!

Ohh these are wonderful but I especially love the second one!
My only problem with both is that your text feels crowded. I mean your paragraphs of body copy, specifically. They come really close to overlapping or making tangents with other objects. I think if you gave them a larger margin of space all the way around, they could breathe better and might also be more readable. They would also "fit" better with the rest of the design, as both designs are pretty spacey and open aside from the crowded feel of the body texts.

hey Sarah!

I Love both of your designs they both just scream you! I feel that your first one is bit more balance and colors are used beautifully!

My Only Critique is make the body copy a little bit bigger it's really hard to read.

Can't wait to see you finished work!

They both look very nice! I don't see any thin wrong with them, however I do think the bottom design works better the the top one.

Hello Sarah!

well done good and strong designs
I like you second post, it is balanced and friendly, the forces background keep distracting me. eye get drag to it. I suggest to play with the opacity it may be it help.

I would go with second one, I like the background image as well as the shapes you're playing with, I think more contrast would be good on it however as all the colors are faded. Good job!
