Hi Spencer!
I really like your first concept with the mountains. I think the colors go well with your logo and make it stand out even more. I think one thing I would do differently would be to change the colors on top of your projects, resources, references section to match the colors that are in your logo. I really like the layout you have for that part though especially in the desktop version!

Hey Spencer,
My favorite design is the Mountain design. The background is very fun to look at. Very cool header with your name. I like the website version alot. Your black and white is also nice, I like the layout for that one alot.

Hi Spencer

The first design you have has a great layout but I'm not crazy about the colors. The background does clash with the RGB one used to highlight the main tabs. I think that's why I'm drawn to your second set of designs just because the colors pop more. I think the second design has a more definitive color palette that's easier on the eyes. Aside from that, I'm a bit confused on why your text is aligned differently for the mobile designs not that it looks bad it's just an odd change. But what I'm most intrigued by is the use of typography. The fonts you used are legible and work well with the designs you created.

Hi Spencer!

First off, I really dig your logo - the play of the cyan, magenta and yellow (nod to CMYK) into your logo is super clever!

In terms of your layouts, very nicely spaced and organized. I had no trouble understanding either layout and both seem fairly easy to navigate. Personally, I think your first set is stronger though. I love your background image for the second set as it shows you and gives the viewer a read on your fun personality but because of the image quality, the first layout looks much sharper and professional. Also, your mobile version is better laid out in the first set mainly because the way that your logo is stacked, it pushes the navigation too far down into the middle of the homepage which could work but that logo would need to spread itself across the top of the screen in order for it to feel less awkward OR perhaps a graphic/image to fill that top portion that would give the stack logo more belonging in terms of being stacked over to the left. That's why I feel the first set just cohesively fits better with the elements and your logo how you have them.

Great job on both of these though - they each presented two similar yet very different aesthetics you could go with. Really looking forward to see what you do with either of these!

Hey Spencer!

I like both the designs but the first one is the one. I think I prefer the first one because it's cleaner and somewhat more organized. The second one would've been the one if it was a bit more legible. I also think the mobile version for the first one is just more organized and less crammed. But overall they're both super cool and scream Spencer. If I would change anything it would be the color of the project, resources, and references to the same colors as the one on your header/logo.
