nice banner haha.
that green is bright, i like the layout ideal but im not srue about the color.
I do like the second layout color i also like how you have the contact us on every page, but im not sure if it working right in the middle maybe move that middle section to the right side and the body copy to the center?
Good job with making both layouts easy to get around.

Yikes! That green one? Pass on it.
The other one is quite good though. I like the question/call to action homepage. It had a really nice color palette that works well together and excellent contrast. I like the use of semi-transparency throughout the layout. The navigation is large and easy to use. And I think the contact info in the center is an interesting choice.
I think it needs just a bit of tweaking. I'd enlarge the TMCC logo and take it out of it's white box. I'd also make the bodycopy and contact copy a sans-serif typeface. Also, not to be spelling Nazi, but it's "EXCITING" and "WAITING".
A good set of designs. I look forward to seeing them be made real!

Second design for sure; I don't think that's a very website-friendly green. I like the idea behind the second design, particularly the slogan that you've created, but I'm not really understanding the meaning behind it. I don't think the contact information is important enough to warrant its placement in the center of the page. I think the biggest issue that I have with the second design is that it doesn't feel very Graphic Communications-ish to me. The splash page you have that leads into the home page leads me to thinking I'm heading into a hunting website or some sort of survivalist career rather than design.

I agree the green is a bit strong on the first design, but I like your color palette on the second. I think the transparent colors over the TMCC background image works well. I think the layout would benefit if you included your contact information somewhere other than the highlighted center. Perhaps a call to action prompt that leads to a page devoted to contacting the department, supplemented with footer /sidebar content with contact information for other site pages? Nice work! I look forward to seeing your final design.
