Project #1 Final Critique

Hello Everybody,

This is my final design. It reflects what I have already done in Dreamweaver but I know I still have a few tweaks. This still frame also doesn't depict how my transitioning background and rollover links interact. My spot color is what my links turn into after they are hovered over. Still a lot of coding to do but looking forward to showing you all the final product after project 2 is done. Please give me any feedback you have! :)

I really like the direction you're going, this looks really good. However I would totally ditch the gradient on the footer and buttons, the one you used looks really dated, like a gradient done in the 1990s. I would maybe keep the button shape and copy it and change it to that blue of your logo, then put it behind the button so only a sliver of blue outlines the top or bottom of the button.

I really liked your old one, but you went in a different direction and I think this works even better. I do have to agree with Tucker though. The buttons would look better without the gradient.

The color on the button rollover/hover will be a nice addition, Avery. The gradient issue also was a distraction for me. Great stuff!

This is really well done. I know you said spot colors would be used in the rollovers, but I think the whole design could use a little more color than just the symbol in your logo. I don't know what that would be to color though

I like how you change this from rough. I would keep having a black box to the bottom and see how it works. Also you might wanna change the font of links? Overall looking nice and feel good!

I really enjoy your composition, it reminds me a lot of mine. I enjoy the layout, as well as the signature at the top. I maybe would work with the font you have your body in just a little. Great job though!

It looks amazing and having seen the interactive background in class, (really nice touch by the way) I’m excited to see more. I think the only part that looks off is the footer; I get that you’re making it line up with your other buttons but I think since it’s so long it looks off. Also it looks like the container and the footer doesn’t match, I can see some of the container on the right side, maybe that’s the reason. Great job though :D

Nice work avery!

Th only one thing I can say is that button is pop up too much, my eyes goes to the navigation first. I think header should be the first place my eye goes.
