GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

I like simple designs, with cool color schemes, and cats, so what better way to design a portfolio website with all the things I like! After completing these two designs I have thought of so many other layout ideas and tools for navigation. My buttons are specified with drop shadows and then my links and resources can be clicked on by just the type saying exactly what that page will be. My design solves this project because it has what I like about web design and my style of designing things. I want to add a logo to the home page which will come later with the submission of project 2!

Looks great, Chelsea. People like websites with cats. I like people. Most of the time.

I think that's really well done Chelsea you really nailed all the elements of design here. This is a really minor detail but in both of your pages your banner coming down in the top left is very close to the element made by the teal colored streamer/banner thing (the teal element to the right). I think you can see that little white line that the two elements create. Ya, I know, it's just one of those little minor things but it's a little distracting to me. But, really the design is great, well done.

Amazing! Looks reli cool. I like that you have a cat on there. As a viewer its very pleasing to the eye with the playful colors and fun elements such as your buttons and design.

Great job on the colors and assorted types you used here. It's very playful and I LOVE that cat picture! I don't have anything to say that needs improvement here because I think your design already looks GREAT. amazing work.

Color scheme is great, really fun to view, can't see anything to really change. Nice job!

I like the cat themed website, the design itself in a whole looks playful and interesting, I kind of wish the cat had a different expression from one page to another but overall good job.

The first one is cool. I like the sneaky cat peaking over the type. Just be careful with the type being at an angle, most people wont take the time to read that because its not the norm, But awesome design.

What a fun little design. Makes me think of See's Candy for some reason. Maybe it's the stripes.

Just excellent use of color, contrast and layout throughout this whole thing. I like the mix of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal elements. I think the color choice was perfect. The repeating triangular elements gave the eye something to follow. And of course, Kitty. Kitty brings a sense of whimsey to the proceedings. Kitty is also helping Instructor brain bleach out Denture Bunny. Kitty is good.

In fact the only issue I have with it, really is typography. I think it's got one font too many. I'd scrap the script type and stick to variation of the other two typefaces.

Really a great design. Now I want ice cream for some reason ...

I like the first layout, nice color scheme. great job!!!
