Hey all,
Here are my two roughs for project 2. I'm fixing a very weird site called pixyland.org. If you have the time, I would check it out. If nothing else, you'll get a good laugh!
The biggest issue I have with the site is the amount of information the creator is trying to display. There are countless pictures of himself dressed as Peter Pan. Yes, you read it correctly. He dresses up as Peter Pan :O My main goal is to try to simplify the site quite a bit because of the amount of text that is on each page.... Give me some feedback!

Im dont think there is enough here to critique. Also, where's your second design?

I like the concept of the clock, maybe in your other pages add other elements like the star that points to Neverland, or Captain Hook's pirate ship... The colors seem appropriate for the design.

Hm. Another pencil sketch. This project is breeding them apparently. At least I can see what's going on here. Sort of. I only see one inner page (on the second design), but there are two designs at least.
I much prefer the Big Ben design. Perhaps because it's easier to see. I think Big Ben makes a great focal point and helps call out the navigation and guide the eye along it. Try moving Big Ben to the right a bit and then you could put your inner page content in the sky as well (where your home page navigation is). A good start.
Unfortunately I can't really offer critique on colors or typography as I don't really see any here.

I really like the concept of the first design I can see it going somewhere. Just add some color to it and maybe an image and description on the other side of the Big Ben clock and I think it will look really good.

you gave us color examples which is a plus. I wish I knew where they were all going though.

From what I can see, I think the big ben photograph as background is a good choice for your website. People easily relate to peterpan with big ben so smart choice. I would also like to see how you're going to incorporate the palettes you provided into your design to help us visualize your ideas.

The home page design is really cool, but other than that i can't tell what your layout is or even what your product is.
