Projetc #1 - Preliminary Critique
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 3:29 pm
For my first design, I wanted a sleek, modern look. I played with asymmetry by placing a large dominant graphic on one side and giving the other side a lot of breathing space. The coloring in the background was done with a two color gradient and I chose to go with green and blue-green because they are analogous colors.
For my second design, I wanted a subtle design with a slight vintage feel. I chose to go with a beige background with sandy texture to give it that vintage look that I was looking for. On some of my buttons, I tried to mimic the look of a scrap-booking sticker. The choice of navy blue for my graphics was made because I felt like it was a nice contrast and complement to the beige background.
I know the requirement was two roughs, but I just couldn't narrow it to two designs. Sorry.
For the last design, I wanted a clean and simplistic look. I chose to have all my information within a vertical bar, so that it's easy to find and easy to read. When it comes to my color choices, I chose to go with green simply because it's my favorite color. For the small, decorative graphics, I wanted a color that complemented the green very well, so I went with orange.
Here are the two websites that inspired me. They both have clean and simple designs, which I happen to prefer.
