You did three designs, you absolute maniac! I always appreciate students who go the extra mile. You've got a couple of good ones here too. I like your third one, both for the contrast and for the sine wave shape that you've put your contact into.

I also like that you use yourself as the label. You look so nonplussed. Lol! As mentioned, I like the sine wave shape and how all of your images are drifting along with it. The contrast serves to really make the colors pop out and all the content pretty easy to see and read. Your margins aren't bad either. You play nicely with alignment in a couple areas especially with your other photo and your bodycopy. Your navigation is easy to see and use as well. It's prominently placed in both versions.

I'd recommend using a lighter weight font for your bodycopy, shrinking it a couple of points, and adding some space between your lines. Also, watch the space between your bodycopy, your contact information, and your navigation on your mobile version. Maybe see what the nav buttons would look like in TMCC's green, if you're going to use it in your composition.

Good work! Is that your YouTube channel, BTW?

Hi Jonnathan, all three designs are super cool and very dynamic!
Out of all of them I'm the most drawn to the blue one, I find it interesting and the layout is easy to understand. The contrast on that design also fits really well.
The black layout is a bit out there and can be hard to read visually, not entirely negative you could easily fix it by moving around some of your objects!
The orange layout is the easiest to read but I do enjoy the others because there is more going on!

Hi Jonnathan,
I love how these designs each have a distinct style! The first, with its black background and neon highlights, feels sleek and modern. Although the text could use more spacing for readability. The second, with soft pastels and a duotone effect, has a fresh, artistic vibe, but maybe adding subtle shadows could make the text stand out more. Small touches like hover effects, etc would add depth and make the site more engaging. All 3 are strong concepts, just a few refinements to text and interactivity will make them even better!
