GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Decided to go with this one. I spent some time in Illustrator and made some better looking vines. I took out the navigation at the top as some of you suggested. I also played with the opacity and drop shadows on the vines in different places.

I put the text inside of the leaves and I'm definitely going to make the leaves roll-over buttons and the upstate will just add a drop shadow (as I've shown on the "Inspiration" link).

What do ya think?

I've been pretty fond of the organic feel that you have going on. All of the elements seems to be working really well together. I just can't help but to feel that your picture and name seem to be a little too close to the edge.

It's all really well done. The one thing that distracted me was the vine, it seems to be crowding your photo & text. Is is centered? Could it be moved toward the right margin?

I really like the layout and the use of A symmetrical balance that you did here. My only suggestion would be to get another complimentary color in the mix besides just one hue of green. Maybe your body copy is another color?

I really like how it turned out! Love it! Only thing I can say is why don't you justify your body copy to the right?:)

Your design is nicely put together! Its cute and to the point I am not sure I am liking P-1 P-2, as a person coming to this site I am not sure I would know what that means.

Good color scheme and nice user interface. Why is the text right aligned? Good job.

In spite of it's clean layout and white background, this design feels very tropical to me. I like the vines as accent elements. That leaf font you used on your name is crazy cool and goes with your design very well. But the real centerpiece of the whole thing is the tropical beanstalk navigation. This thing is too much fun. It's also easy to read, follow, and use. Your right aligned body copy is well placed and easy to read. The entire design also has very good margins as well.

Not sure you needed the third front you used on your navigation. I think a bold version of your body copy font would have worked just fine. Also, perhaps have the leaves change colors on rollover?

A fun, clean design. Good going. Now I want to grow a navigation vine!

Very cool how this came together. Has a nice feel to it and is interesting to look at for sure. I think if you took out the vine right above your name it would look a little cleaner and easier to read. Just personal preference though. Can't wait to see it as a real site.

you should put drop shadow on every leaf.

it will make more dimentional design
