GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Hi everybody,

I really want to do scrolling parallax pages with both the light or dark versions of the website. The wind and the neon ideas that are shown, I would potentially like them to move? But, at the moment not sure of how to execute in html....

Thanks everybody,

Rachel

I love both designs, but I love the old school classic feel of the second one. The black with the neon sign looking graphics makes me think of a simpler time in our history and that is a good feeling.

I like the overall theme of the second design, interesting! I think you could move your nav bar up to the top of the page if you pick this one.

Your second designs are rad! Your neon guy is so creative, it would be cool to use him in the mobile sites too. He can be the GRC mascot! Good job!

I love the way your neon turned out!!!!

I like both designs, both great color schemes. I think the road design fits the school website better. One improvement could be to add detail to the stage, perhaps stage lights in the foreground and a spot light on the green man.

I love the look of the 80's neon design. The colors are great and you can incorporate the "arts" into it very well. Great job!

Hi Rachel

the neon layout is most appealing to me. I think the parallax scrolling is a great idea! I also like your color choices. good job!

I'm partial to the second design. It has a fun and interesting "Reno" feel to it. I think parallax is a great idea as well. The black background looks great too. Nice.

Ooooh, I like your dark second design better. It reminds me of a nightclub. I really like how each section has it's own custom neon and colorscheme. You should do a TMCC logo in neon too!

I especially like how you're using layout as the commonality between pages and changing color from page to page to separate them and make it easier for people to know where they are on the website. High contrast always appeals to me and this uses it very well. The neon logos for each section are a super strong touch. Maybe use more neon accents? One of the little details that really appeals to me is the colored main nav button that lets people know where they are on the website. Your navigation in general is very easy to see and use. Nice use of margin as well, once you get rid of the boxes behind the type. Your diagonal framing structure on the overall layout is a nice touch too. The way you have it set up, the edges are the corners. It's very organized, but it still causes the user to reevaluate what they are seeing. Certainlay a memorable design.

I don't think you need the bodycopy type in a white and blue box. I think if you just make your type white on your black background, it will show just fine. The same goes for your green footer. If you pull the green box and just have white type, it will work fine, and look cleaner too.

Nice!
