Hey Meghna,
Really like your designs I would stick with and go with the graffiti look the most. Like the pop up design, very cool choice. Font choice works really well and has the important stuff pop out.

Hi Meghna!

WOW! Your layouts are popping right off the screen - so vibrant and I love your extra screen show demonstrating the drop down navigation for each! I so wish I would've done that now looking back at mine - gives a ton more visualization of how these layouts will work when functioning as just statics can be hard to picture how a layout will function in practice.

As far as my thoughts, honestly both are excellent and what's interesting is they're incredibly similar in terms of the navigation and layout but so different at the same time in terms of look and feel and a lot of that definitely is due to your color palette and image selection for each. The first is like a firework with some attitude while the second has a more calm, earthy, chill vibe to it. Honestly between the two, it all comes down to what your personality is and which shows that better. Personally, I love the spice of the first set - I think your variation of color palette between the mobile and desktop is excellent and it just has an excitement to it! However, the softer, more sophisticated feel is really nice too so you really cant go wrong with either so long as you go with what speaks you more. In terms of the navigation (both are the same) I think you nailed it). Really well thought out and again, that extra shot of showing the drop down menu was genius.

Really looking forward to see which one you go with and where you take it. Great work!

My goodness, your designs are awesome! I like the first one very modern very colorful, absolutely love the graffiti design you have chosen. I do like your second one I'm just not a huge fan of what's going on in the corner like the page is being pulled up? But it would be interesting to see if it was an interactive page. I like the idea for your mobile design with the pull-out sides menu as well also the drop-down menu, very cool!

Hi Meg! I am LOVING your first rough! The pink pops off with the contrast of the darker areas and really looks quite professional already. I think the only suggestion I have is to take out the indent in your body copy and maybe move the TMCC logo and class info under your body copy. This is awesome!

Hello Meghna,
I think you did a great job coming up with two different designs but I am especially impressed with the first one! The layout is very clean and easy to follow and the photo you used for the background that you took making it way more personal to you and it brings in so much color and personality to the page! If I were going to say one change, it would be to left align the body text since it is on the left side of the page I think it might look a little cleaner if it followed underneath the header.

Hello Meghna,

I really like that first design. That image in the background has such lovely bold colors that stand out well on their own and the rest of the design is informative without taking attention away. The navigation is well done, and I like how the drop-down menus sort of change the colors of the background images in both designs. But I think the first really stands out in terms of color and contrast. Well done.

Hey Meghna!

I really really like the first one! It's so expressive and fun! The use of your image works perfectly with the layout, The black fade-in box is so smart and clever. It's just such a good way to make your content readable. I also love how everything is organized! It's so clean and I know exactly where to go when I need something. Your second design is also amazing! It's just more professional that's it. It's really good too! I love it too! Both are hard to pick from so good luck picking!
