Hola Sandra!

I love how you include using negative space in your first design! Very unique! I love both designs, very beautiful to look at! In my opinion, I like how the second design is arranged. It feels more clean than the first design. However, if you can rearrange the first design (while still having that negative space), maybe it can work out! Overall, you did a beautiful job!!

Firstly, I love all the colors you used in both layouts. I think the fall leaves is slightly stronger.
I really like how you pulled a red that matches the leaves to use for your header fonts. I really like the green you chose for the color behind your nav buttons.
I think both pieces could benefit from adding a little bit of a margin on the sides. If you brought in your elements I think it would help balance the space more, especially in the fall leaves computer rough.

Excited to see how your design develops from here!

Hi Sandra!
The photos in both of your layouts are beautiful! I'm partial to the first because I love fall themes, but I feel the second desktop layout looks more cohesive, so maybe a combination could be nice! I think for your first layout possibly erasing the white on your portrait for a transparent background would help your photo fit in better (and show off more of the lovely background!)

Hello Sandra.

Your designs give me a sense of professionalism and free spirit. I think you got good ideas over here. I would choose the one with a fall theme. I like the picture you chose ad how you made a combination of your personality and what you do. In the first rough, I think you don't really need those white boxes around the type. Try making the type lighter than the background to create contrast. Nice Job

Hi Sandra,

I like the nature theme of your designs. I think the 2nd one looks better because the colors are a little calmer on the eyes. I do think you could experiment with other fonts a bit more. Otherwise, looks nice.

Hey Sandra, I really like the first design with autumn leaves as the background, the positioning of text is great, they are easy to read. I like the transparent boxes to allow the cool background bleed through. A minor suggestion I have is stretch the box about you to include the image of you and wrap the text around it to fill in some empty space. I think that's the design you should go for.

Your second design has a spring feel to it which is always nice and calming. Right side of the top half of the page is empty, you can spread those links across the page. There is also empty space in the bottom half of the page, maybe add some images or increase the text about you.
