3D design is pretty cool, font is a little hard to read. I also like the layout on design#1. Great job!!!!

I am liking design two, I feel like the flow is there, but there is a lot of empty space that could be filled in.

I enjoy the game boy design. I like how you can put anything in your slideshow. You could even use previous work from other grc classes. If you go with the second design, I will agree with others that you need to bring down the button graphics that way there is some space between the header and the buttons.

I like the second one. I agree with bringing the graphic down and popping out the copy with a different color. The edges on the shapes are a bit hard and sharp, unlike the flowing liquid look that I think you are trying to accomplish here.

Bottom design definitely. Make your type pop more on the drops and move that bubbly bar down to separate the site more, the TMCC text gets a bit lost in the bubble.

This a fun little set of designs.
I personally prefer the second one. It feels almost ... Middle Eastern I guess. Very blown glass feeling. Exotic. A good calming set of colors as well. The buttons are well placed, if not easy to find.
Unfortunately the heavy Photoshop styling is really messing with the design. I'd scrape off the heavy, beveled marble style on the "button drops" with a palette knife (the same one I'm scraping Matt's designs with) and replace it with something a little more subtle. The glass at the top is working well though. I'd also move the button drops down by about 1/3 of the page height. I would also bold and make darker the font in the buttons.
It's an intriguing start and I look forward to seeing the finished product. Nice work.

I really love the first design it is so unique and I love the the colors you chose. The only suggestion I have would be to change the image you used inside the gameboy it slightly creeps me out. Maybe put a picture of yourself in the gameboy.
