GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Hi guys, so I completely changed my website, but I feel like this represents me much more than the other two that I presented in preliminary critique. The Photo in the background is a photo of me that I took with a 35mm camera with black and white film. I had a really fun time with this project.

the two websites I found inspirational were:

The two sites I found useful about web design were:

Hi Elizabeth!!

Very nice! I liked your roughs as well, but this is you too. The only change that I can see needs to be made, is the typo on the word, 'because'. Great work!

Elizabeth-


Holy crap I actually almost got blinded by how awesome this looks. Seriously. Your fabulosity (yes that's a word) shines through with this cooler-than-cool layout. Seriously. Look at you, all fly and stuff. Back to technicalities, I like how simple your layout is, I can see where everything is and navigate to it just as easily. I just love the use of black/white/greyscale and the pop of pink. Just. Awesome.

Hi Elizabeth,
I love your design! Your background image does make it unique, personal, and visually appealing. What I really like about your layout is the simplicity but yet bright and eye catching. One suggestion that I would make is to up your font size on your name and title, navigation and about me paragraph. I think it might tightened it up some more to where the about me paragraph kind takes up most of the lens. Great job!

Hi Elizabeth,
This new design is fantastic and very creative. This site makes me want to know more about you and your work. A couple critiques: Capitalize "artist" to make it consistent with "graphic designer" and correct the spelling of "because." Overall very nice!

Awesome design! I love the grainy photo as the background. Honestly, it reminds me of something that could be on the cover of a book, or movie poster, or record sleeve. It definitely has a sort of intense vibe, but the pink glasses help keep it lighthearted. Confining the main text to the lens was clever, and overall, everything is very legible, despite being on a gritty image. Great job! My only suggestion would be to remove the little line breaks around your name, I feel like they aren't really contributing anything to the design, and it would be just as strong without them.

Hi Elizabeth,
I love what you did for your final project you took it to a very personal level and brought out a lot of your personality in it! However I would check your design over for spelling. I like your "about me" and as for me personally I don't like all lower case letters for buttons but that is unique to your design. We should mtn bike sometime!

I LOVE IT!
The image is very pretty, and I like your name design. That's so cool!

I think you can increase the leading on the body copy a little bit.

Hi Elizabeth,

This is really cool. I like the pop of pink with the intentionally grainy black and white. A macro shot for a personal web page, kind of genius. I think the comment about capitalizing artist is a good critique. I don't have any other critiques. Sweet design, nice work.
