GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Howdy everyone! I went with my sketchbook themed design, I mostly focused on trying out a couple different fonts, changed some text alignment/centering it better, and got rid of the blue and went with all shades of purple! Thanks to everyone for your feedback!

Absolutely adorable, Jessica!

Loving the way you are using the monochromatic color of purple with the white background! You've made your website friendly and welcoming. Don't forget the TMCC logo!! Otherwise, great work!!

I like how simple your design is! The color is interesting with the lime weights of the drawing and the font!

I love how you used your illustration style for your website. It is very consistent and creative. The typography is nice as well! Great job!

Hey Jessica,

I agree with the animation and the style that makes up the layout and design. It is very representative of the designer style. I would think the interactive features of the future will be like and I can't wait for the end results.

The design looks really good! I like how you made the illustrations bigger and the technique you have going here! Plus the colors are nice. Great Work!

Hi Jessica,

I love this! It's so fun and has a ton of personality. The color is interesting and font choices work well with the overall feel.

Sweet! You went with the sketchy one. Still bringing a smile to my face.

It looks really nice in the all purple color. And I especially like the little sketch frames around all the buttons and content. They isolate them out and add a bit more structure. They also reinforce the paper texture this whole thing has. I like the handwriting font you used for your name. It looks super sketchy (in a good way) and because it has no fill, seems to add extra detail to your composition. It really contributes to the paper texture. A paper texture that isn't there, but is created by the sketch look and feel of your type and graphics. I also like the wide open feel of your layout. Everything is clearly organized, but your excellent use of margin makes sure nothing is too crowded. And Cartoon You is still insisting that no one take this thing too seriously.

Seeing it with the lighter colored buttons and the thinner bodycopy makes me wonder if the footer text needed to be as bold or dark as you used here. Also, the leading of your bodycopy feels a little tight to me. I think your buttons might have looked a little better if you used that cool handwriting font from your name.

Nicely done!

Hi Jessica, your sketch is so darn cute. I really love the sketch marks around where the buttons are. Very artsy and creative with the thinking bubbles too. I don't really see any flaws. Your placement of everything looks really good.

This design is so creative! I really like the sketchy style you gave your homepage; it gives it a fun and unique look!
