GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Your work gets better and better. I like the fist one where you have a picture of a roof, I like geometrical shapes that you have going on in there, the aliment is done well. Also, the changes you made on the "PostPosted: Sat Feb 08, 2014 12:20 pm" looks lot better then your original post. Maybe you can keep both of the design, and make the page with your face portrait as one of the links from you home page. In other word the first one is you main page and the link like "contacts"/"about me" or etc...can lead to the second design with your portrait. The turtals are cool, but it is little bet monotone, hard to distinguishe where is what, cool idea thought. Overall, good job!

ps. my grammar sucks, try to make the best of it

Oy there Prince Charles. I'd say you have a mighty fine crop of designs, old chap. Mighty fine indeed. Truly top hole.

I think the best of them is your very first one. It has a good lack of obvious Photoshop textures. It works with the geometry of the photo in all sorts of interesting ways. It has a great consistency throughout the design in colors and especially typography. I think the choice of typefaces and colors in your type leads the eye on a nice journey through the design. The GRC 175 challenge coin is a nice final touch.

I think it needs just a couple of little tweaks and it'll be ready to go. First, you need to play with the tracking and kerning (or is that keming?) on your name headline. It's spread out and mashed up in all the wrong places right now. Also, I would include just a bit more (say 5px) of margin on the right side of everything to give the pic a little more room to breathe.

I also like your turtles composition. It has a sense of "what is this?" whimsy. Well, that and I like turtles.

But that first design ... yeah go with that.

Charlie,

I like the first one better, the one with the celling. It catches my eye a bit more than the second design.

I am really liking the first design it looks so nice, clean and professional. I really like the background image you used. My only suggestion is to make the buttons bigger so they are easier to spot on the page.

I honestly like the first rough better. The window panes create amazing angles that work well as linear devices within your composition I saw that you revised the other rough though, so either would work great!
