my two inspirational websites:
http://www.august.com.au/
http://www.fiftythree.com/pencil

My inspirational websites consist of giant graphics either in the background or in the heading because that was what i wanted to focus on in my designs. For rough one, I tried to create a scrapbook design, while trying to keep a simple symmetrical shape through the design. For rough two I wanted to have something silly as my giant graphic thus "Cookie Box" was born. This design also works well because it keeps the home page sweet and short while still providing all the information that might be needed.

I like the scrapbook one best! Unfortunately it needs COLOR! I've never seen so many gray crayons... haha but design wise it's great. Love the photo LOL.

I like the playfulness of the second design but I'm liking the first one btr. Just like Chris said, I think it may just need some color =)

Yeah, comp 1 is the direction I'd follow through with, as mentioned really needs color. Really would pop the comp out a lot more, be a lot more visually interesting.

I like your first comp. You have crayons in black and white which they are not.. would love to see a really nice color scheme here. crayons scream color lol set them free.. color the crayolas

I like the first one!! yes the it does need some color like the picture of you nails

Design #1 is more personable, but needs some color.

I like the crayon idea, but there needs to be way more colors to make it more fun!

wow this is going to be hard. I like both designs equally just because one has a good range of value in blacks and whites while the second rough is just so cute and playful!!
But i'll have to choose the second design just because it's adorable, richer in color, and more interesting to look at. I love the cookie and a touch f those crumbs falling off at the side. Nothing much to point out that needs improvement because it already looks good as it is in my opinion.
Good job!

I like the scrapbook, needs more colors
