Oh nice! I really like that new logo, Genesis. The font and backwards "Studio" were both strong choices.

This thing, as you would expect from it's theme, makes great use of contrast, especially in the gray sky above the zebras and the comparison of the black type content to the stripes on the zebras in the photo. For all that it's a little iffy on your computer layout, your background image really works well on your mobile layout. It's a very eye catching image and serves the overall design well. Both layouts utilize margin and proximity to provide a great hierarchy. Having the logo floating in it's own little area off to the left attracts the eye to it. Your navigation is big and usable on both layouts. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be a fan of the lack of color, but here it works, both because of the contrast and because of the visually interesting background image.

You used and interesting solution for your background image on your computer layout. Basically it looks like the way YouTube handles vertical video with a blurred copy of the video behind the vertical video. It was a good attempt, but it doesn't 100% work. I think you would have been better off using a different Zebra image for your computer layout. The image works fine on your mobile layout however.

Good work!

Hello Genesis,

I think your final design came together really nicely. I really like your fonts and the off gray you used in the header. If you wanted to try another alternative rather than repeating your background image in your computer layout, maybe a nice gradient on both sides with that gray on top fading into a black at the bottom would look nice?

Nice work and really cute logo!

Good contrast and great image, but the Web version does look a little funny, maybe find an image that has a little more width to it.

Hi Genesis! Great job on your final critique. The contrast looks great and the colors are lovely with the zebras.
