I like the idea of the name being in large letters, but I struggled to read the name at first glance. I like the color scheme of the first design better, but I think if you combine the cohesion of the links from the second design with the color scheme and look of the first design, it would improve the user experience of your site.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey! I like your use of yellow in both of your designs. I'm not sure if it is the computer, but all your type is burry/not readable. Not sure if your dock is the right size or if it is the grc175 website.

I love your web2 and mobile2 designs! Both designs are really interesting and unique but I think the design with the circles is a little hard on the eyes with all the bright colors. I love how you used typography in the web2/mobile2, and that it is still easy to navigate.

I really like your first design, Katera. It has a fun "refrigerator magnet" feel. Makes me smile.

I really like the scattered headline. It's fun and artistic. And it does look like a batch of refrigerator magnet letters. I haven't seen many radial balance websites and I like what I see here. Is that a crinkled paper texture in the background? That's pretty fun. Looks like a kids craft project. I should hate your almost clashing colors, but they work here with the exception of the bodycopy. I like that you've used colors to designate different parts of the website; headlines in green, links in purple, etc. It helps organize a chaotic radial balance layout.

I'm not sold on the glow/shadows going in every which direction. I recommend picking a lighting direction and having them universally cast from that direction. If you want to preserve a similar effect, have the light source be in the dead center so the glow/shadows all blast out from there. That would go hand in hand with the radial balance layout. I'd recommend choosing a lighter version of your bodycopy font. It's too heavy as is and would look better lightened. Make it black too. Also, justify that paragraph so it's a nice little block. Make a little margin between it and your refrigerator magnet letters, too.

Nice work! Don't forget us little people when you're the creative director for Colgate.
