The first design I am tending to lean towards, I feel the grey scale works here, but throwing some color in the design could make it really pop.

Nathan-
I am leaning more toward the top design. I love the layout and the scrapbook idea of it. Although I am a fan of grey, I think that adding splashes of color would really bring out more of the design. Maybe playing with the font a little bit more, it doesn't add to the design.
Great job!

I think the first one looks cool. Personally, I'd look at some typewriter style typefaces to make the page slightly more gritty, but that's just personal preference.

The first design is really creative, I like how you used the lines to mimic crayon lines. The photo needs to be cropped portrait though to fit the bounding box it is in. Also, a bit of color would help as well. Nice start

Hah! I really like that second one. Such a weird, weird idea. Amusing.

I like the colors, the layout and the concept. The only thing you have to watch out for is to make sure all your button type is the same size, also watch your margins on your buttons, the Project buttons in particular are pretty tight and need to be widened slightly.

Too much fun!

I like the first one a lot, the crayon idea is really nice and unique. I only suggest to maybe add some color to make it pop more.

Both are creative, and funny, i like the second one cause it is something I haven't come across before. Looks like it would be a fun page to create. I like the fill of color paper, and how u incorporated the real picture of cookie in to it. I would do something a little bet different to buttons, maybe make them as baby boxes (kids of cookie box) or make buttons as cookie bytes....or just live them the way they are..lol.. Good Job on being innovating and for making us smile.

ps. pardon my grammar

The craziest, most unique, bizarre, off the wall design in this class as of yet! I love that! #2 certainly caught my attention. It seems you have established a sense of depth with the buttons on the top of the box. The 2 in the center appear further away than the others so I can see the need for the variation in scale for the type to maintain that illusion. The thing I noticed is you haven't included your name. Perhaps you can find a clever way to integrate it into your design? I'd suggest some way but...well it needs to be clever. Hilarious! Great job!

I'd go with the first design as well. I would trying using color to accent anything you want to pop out, but as minimal as possible because I like the concept of your black and white layout Great job!
