Hi Mike i think these are all good starts! I like your first concept best i think it has a good layout to it. Something i would do differently might be to back your name bigger and the over arching title of the page. I also really love the color scheme you have going on in the third image.

Hey Mike,
Lots of designs to choose from, gotta say design two is my favorite. Very fun to look at and very unique. Your colors are something that you wouldn't expect to work but do. I want to see more from the text though, it seem to bunched up. I think your first design does the best job with text spread. All said good job.

Hi Mike! I like your last design the most as I think it has the best layout. I think with the addition of one color this design can really take off! I would also left-align your body copy to increase legibility. Nice Start!

Hi Michael

I like your designs you have some good contrasting colors in the first ones, but I am drawn to the grayscale one a little bit more. I'd recommend using another typeface instead of just one. I'd like to see how the layout would look in a Web format as well

Hi Mike!

Really fun designs here with lots of vibrant pops of colors (and one option that doesn't for variety). The one that speaks to me most is the third one - I feel your color combination and use of space with the different shapes really works cohesively well together where as the other ones feel a bit chunky and don't work as well as that third one. Speaking of the layouts, I am a little confused as to which ones are mobile and which ones are desktop as they're all different but none of them seem to fit the specs of desktop or mobile? Double check your specs on these whenever you get a chance per the project 01 sheet.

Additionally, I feel your black and white photo works well against the colorful background on that third option as well as the contrast of the color mixing on the squares towards the bottom (presumably for content). I definitely wouldn't go with the last option with no color as it lacks that pop your other options have. The first two options have some parts that work but I feel your boxes should be more aligned to provide the homepage with more cohesion and thats why I think your third option is also strongest because your alignment of everything is easier to follow for the eye.

Really great start here and looking forward to seeing which option you go with and build upon!

Hey Mike!

I love how you're not scared to use colors and really go bold! I also really appreciate how playful these are. I think that the designs could use a bit more organization but once you got that down I think it'll be good. I personally like your first one and the second one. I think the design ideas are flowing and I like it. It really gets my attention. The last one is good too! It's clean and organized! I just love the color though. I would also keep in mind where to put the project tabs.
