Oh these are super cool, Adrian. I like the bright yellow one. It looks like a sign!

I love the rounded edges. Makes it look very municipal. Like something I'd see on a light pole somewhere. I like the way you've used a bit of skeuomorphism with that drop shadow to pop your name out up top. Great font choices, too. They're very exciting and add a feeling of happiness and excitement to your design. Really compliments the bright colors you've chosen. Good use of margins and alignment. You do a good job of making edges and shapes where there are none and everything feels like it has room to breathe. Your navigation is well placed and easy to find too.

I think playing with some dark colors against the yellow might serve you better. I like the way your name pops off the background with it's drop shadow and stroke, but your navigation, page title, and logo vanish into the yellow a bit. I'd be tempted to play with a dark orange or black for those. Make 'em stand out against the yellow. And if you're doing that, you can pull the orange box from behind your bosycopy and just make the bodycopy the same darker color. It'd stand right out.

Good work!

Hi Adrian,
I like the color schemes you chose for both designs. The blue one stands to me the most because I think it compliments the photo you chose really well. The yellow design is nice but I think it gets a bit hard to read your links against the yellow background. Maybe experiment with changing up your strokes and see if you can brighten those links. Overall both designs are very well done and legible! Great Job!

Hello Adrian!
Both of your concepts have a strong layout in both the mobile and website versions. The first one is a little hard readability wise due to the strong yellow, You can add some more contrast in your text to help stand out against the yellow background! The second design has a good use of colors and is really well done

Hi Adrian,
The use of bold typography and strong color choices makes these designs really eye-catching! The yellow and the blue themes have great contrast in them. Maybe adjusting the text spacing could improve readability. The layouts are structured well, though breaking up the large text blocks with icons or subtle dividers would make it feel more balanced. It’s already a strong and professional-looking layout. ustj a few tweaks to spacing and engagement will make it that much better!
