All of these websites helped me to learn how to layout the website and how the fundamental things are important in order to make a better website layout. Some of them give me the inspiration to design all of my layouts.

I decided to choose the black and white theme since I thought this theme has a more dynamic taste to it and most people chose this design over the other one through critiques and votes! (thank you so much for the comments and voting!)
I took some advice from the critique from preliminary critique and I decided to stretch the name in the middle so it will look more bigger and dynamic. I made the links (resources, projects...) a few points bigger since I got a critique that it was a little too small and difficult to see. Also, I changed the placement of the paragraph, picture, and contact to make it look more balanced. I added a white bottom for the contact information for email so it will stand out better and be easier for the viewers to access.
As for the mobile design, I made the hamburger (three lines for the links) thicker and remove the other section for projects and resources since I already had a hamburger and thought it would be unnecessary to have them. I added a few shiny elements for this format since there was white space around the picture and the name. I also changed the placement of the picture and paragraph as well.

P.S.
I'm not sure why it did it, but I added the actual size of the mobile version.

Hello Hinata,

I love the direction you decided to go with for your layouts. I really like how the elements on the page are distributed throughout while maintaining a strong sense of hierarchy and unity. Good job!
My only suggestions would be to add the same stars that you have for your mobile layout and have them in your web version as well. Other than that, I believe you met the project criteria spectacularly.

Hi Hinata,
This is looking really great. Good choice going with the black and white design. I really love your typeface choices. Too, I like the twinkle stars A LOT, I just wish they were also on your web version. And on that same note, you have a cool boarder on the web version that I wish was on the mobile version for consistency. If you wanted to be extra crazy about your constancy, you may want to think about having your photo to the left of your paragraph text box for both versions?? Just an idea . Can't wait to see how it all works out for Project 2!

Hi Hinata!
I love how your project turned out! The black-and-white retro vibe is super cool and so is the placement of your name!
My only advice would be to make the navigation text a bit bigger.
Good Job!

Hi Hinata,
I love how your final turned out! Stretching your name was a cool move, I think it can be hard to stretch without making things look too distorted, but you did a great job balancing it out. Your navigation buttons can probably be a bit bigger in the web layout, they feel extra small when compared to the size increase in your name. Great work! This feels like your typical design style, but limiting yourself to black and white is a challenge I think you overcame excellently.

Yo! Hinata!

I really love what you did with your designs! The texture really adds a lot to the designs and I love it. I also really enjoy the stars you have on your mobile design and wish you had it on the web version. I enjoy the stretched name on the web version but I also like how on the mobile version its not stretched as in my opinion that would feel weird and clunky. I think to keep some consistency between the two versions you should add a little bar underneath the header on your mobile version to match your web version.

Other than that I LOVE your work! Great Job!

Hi Hinata,
I really love the final design you chose! I think that you the changes you've done have really elevated you last design and I love the sparkles. I think something that might help for your final website would maybe play with the size of your sparkles, don't be scared to try bigger! Other than that, great work

Hi Hinata,
I really like the way your design doesn't use color, it makes it look really unique compared to all the other designs. Your layout is also very nice. Keep up the good work!

Hey Hinita!

I love how your website turned out! I also like how for your phone website you added stars that makes it look more dynamic. Makes me wish you added those to the website as well!
Anyway, Good Job!

Hey Hinata! I really like the design that you ended up choosing, I think that the black, gray and white color palette that you have works really well. The only thing I would change is maybe just incorporating just a tiny bit of a color somewhere in the design and I think it would really pop. Nice job!
