Hi Jose,

Your first website is really nice and atmospheric. I would recommend lightening the background or changing it from black -- it feels too dark to me. I know you have a vignette on the photograph, but it feels like the background should be a lighter color for the photograph you chose.
Your second design is clean and I like how spacious it is. If you do go with this design, perhaps take out one of the red rectangles or put separation. I would also suggest using a different font for the navigation than you did for your title.

Hope this helps!

Hey there,

I like the top one, it has a cleaner and more professional feeling. The second one is a little bright for my taste I do like the layout though! Good job!

Ohhh these are fantastic designs and I absolutely adore the first one!
My only issue with the first one is that the text in the nav bar nearly tangents with the borders of the nav bar itself, creating tension. Some more space above and below the text could help with breathing room. Try shrinking the test or shrinking the vertical scaling a tad. I'm also not sure that the four words/buttons are evenly spaced from each other in the nav bar space?
Your second design is playful and childlike! It's also very bright and hard to look at, however. Everything also just kinda goes into each other visually, with how they're all the same color. There isn't really a point of focus that stands out, aside from the cereal box project, is what I mean. It's interesting visually, but basically only because of the bright red color on everything.

Hi Jose!

The designs of each website are very strong. The project placer is the one I prefer, though it was hard to choose one. It flows and is easily navigable. I like the animated feeling I get from it. Try the TMCC logo in black of white to keep the color scheme flowing. Cool oily nuts and bolts box!

Hi Jose,

I really like your first design. It is really calm and has a beautiful picture. I like where you put the navigation bar and I like the type you used. Maybe make the navigation bar a few shades greener.

I like the first one the best. It has nice imagery and is overall very appealing. However I would play with font types more and maybe make you body copy at the bottom on paragraph that goes all along the bottom instead of just the lower left hand corner. You can also split it up into three columns along the bottom if you don't want one really big paragraph. Good work!

Hola Jose!

amazing Draft! I really like the forest themed website. it inspired me to create better designs, I love the simplicity on your menu bar. Wonderful background, keep up that great work. The only changes I would suggest that you balanced your body paragraph. To make it more balanced. Other than that I love it. Great Job!

These are both very good and very different, personally I would build on the nature one or change the red on the robot one as it is distracting and too fully saturated. Other than the layout is very effective on both.
