Preliminary Critique #3

Post by daveryjones »

So for my website, I wanted to go relatively simple. For my first design I used a collage style that replicates the TMCC poster I made for Photoshop just because I really enjoy that design. I went with a simplistic feel on both. For my second design, I wanted to challenge myself with an accordion style drop down page from each link but with a super simple layout and color scheme because I thought it was easy to navigate. I definitely enjoy my collage design more and was thinking that I might make a similar but different collage for each inner page in relation to what the page is about. These are very rough around the edges but I only wanted to convey my layouts and ideas rather than a polished piece.

I think doing the accordion drop down page is a really neat idea. I feel that your subheads should be aligned to the left though.

I think the first one works better because the images express the GRC program better. I would just suggest using some TMCC green to make it more TMCC like.

I think the top one is better designed but that image seems disconnected from anything without a proper explanation. To be honest when I see your poster without context, and the clock it says to me; "This program will take a shit ton of time and energy." which isn't really the goal I think.

I know you're a kickass designer, you can make these really great, it's only a preliminary but I bet you can make the first read better.

I feel like it's time to get off my ass and go to college is a great idea; nice psych effect. I'd go with that one. Just blow up the logo and makit it fit more in the ^ of the hands. That will press the Tmcc idea more... No Green.....

I like the top design, I think the clock shows "time is in your hands" really strong start. I would like to see where you take it. (maybe you could add a really subtle caption under the clock to read subliminally like "it's time...")

I like your first layout more. Looks very interesting and easy to navigate. I wish the mid-top part of the hands wasn't invisible though haha. I think your inside page could be more exciting which I know you could do with your skillzzz. Nice work though.
