GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

I did two versions of the final for the Design that most people I felt liked more, I tried to modify the design from the needs I was receiving from my peers. The first one was the design that I started to alter immediately after the first critique, the second design is one I decided to work on after getting advice from our instructor. I personally like the first one better but let me know thoughts on either one.

I like the header in the first one (except for the contrast issue with the "R" in your logo). In the first one I also like the red gradient. I like your buttons in the second one, as well as the hierarchy. Maybe also is you could make your photo fade into the text box?

Like what charlie said, i'm liking the header on your first design. Actually, I like the entirety of your first design! The spacing is much better but i'm finding the dark-red spot in the middle of your background unnecessary. Try taking it off? Other than that, good job on the rest!

I like a little from both, on the bottom one, I like how the city is at the bottom of the page, perhaps expand it to go across the entire length? But then on the top on, I enjoy how your name looks there, but not how the city outline is, perhaps remove the city outline and enlarge your photo of yourself to use some of that open space.


If I was to pick one, with just one change, Go with the bottom one, and use the name intro you have on the top w/o the city outline.

I like the first design the most. The red in the background really helps with your over all design making it visually appealing. The only thing is you might try fitting in the tmcc logo some where.

I prefer the second design myself.

I think its layout is easier to move the eye though. Both your picture and the centered logo really stand out as strong visual markers. The large buttons on the side are easy to find/use. I think the city skyline at the bottom of the layout is a great visual anchor and helps establish the boundaries of the design. I like the leather background texture as well, makes me think of a 1930s camera case.

You need to be careful about the margins on your type. The bodycopy is a little close on the bottom of your text box. Also, where's your "Web Design and Publishing I" and "Spring 2014"?

You've got a good design that's easy to interact with. Nice work.

I'm really liking the second design myself. I especially like your silhouette of the city. I feel that the second layout would be more effect due to its design and structure.

I am really liking the second design the best. The content is organized really well and I like how the lines on your project buttons vary from long to short and the city design at the bottom of the page looks great, really great design. The only thing I could find that you could maybe change is the white semi circle around the TMCC logo. Maybe make it a full white circle instead of having the ends cut off?

Totally loving how you incorporated the cityscape to the top bar on your first design. The fonts and colors work well too. My only suggestion is play with your logo a little bit... Try making that "R" fatter inside the "D" (that sounds really weird to say to another man) Otherwise, looks good bro.

the first one its a nice read and the logo of your name is really nice. I think it does need something else just not sure of what that is yet lol
