Project 03 Preliminary DR

[Danielle Roberts]

Hi Everyone,
I have two different layouts here let me know which one is more likable! I am leaning towards the lighter color scheme. I went with a straightforward composition so far as a base I might have some more creative attachments for the final. I also know the text is overlapping some images. Once I decide which rough looks good, I'll place some text warp for a comfortable read.

Hi Danielle,
I like your layouts they are very straight forward, I like the design with the lizard with the cap on. I would suggest using the darker design for the landing page and the light design for the inner pages. Just a suggestion.

Ooooh! Sign me up for that first one, Danielle. Love me some transparency and contrast.

Having a shaded background image provides such visual interest to a clean layout, as you're demonstrating here. I like the super thin typeface too. It give's it a modern, professional, forward looking feel. Very slick. It's just thick enough that your shaded background image doesn't clash with it. And the gecko adds a fun bit of whimsy to everything. I want to wave right back at him. The layout itself is very clean too. You make great use of margins. Everything has room to breathe and is nicely separated. Good call on the white TMCC logo, if it was TMCC's hideous green it might be too dark. Your navigation is easy to see and presumably to use as well.

There's a bunch of big TMCC campus photos out there. I think it'd look neat if each page had a different background photo. Also, while I think the website it pretty on point layout-wise, I think it needs more photos in the content. Look how your lizard and computer pic stand out. I think a few more like that would really punch it up. Maybe try making your paragraphs justified? See what they look like as blocks.

Good work!

Hello Danielle!

I like both a lot! The colors are great. your darker design is what I prefer, but for both I would suggest to incorporate more hierarchies so that things look less floaty, and sit more well suited.

Hi Danielle,

I like the idea of both of these layouts, and I like the use of wizard. I like the creme/green layouts the best. They are easy on the eyes and the pallet is nice. I think you can push the layouts a bit more!

Good luck!

Hi Danielle!

I love this!! It's very clean and just feels like a college site. I love the inclusion of wizard but maybe don't have him eating up the text to much on your second one!! Otherwise I love it!!
