GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the great feedback! After reading your critiques I have decided to go with my cityscape design for my final design. I made some subtle but time consuming changes (omg, I got totally sucked in with selection tools while zoomed way in). I removed all of the artifacts in the...

Hi Courtney: I like both of your designs. I think the all red works great, but I am drawn more towards the purple/red one. My only suggestion, and this would be for both of your designs, would be to align & space out your nav buttons/links evenly. Maybe for the buttons, just make the buttons all...

Hi Jared: I love your "rough2.png"! It is so simple and clean. Maybe I am being biased because it brings up nostalgic feelings I can't quite pin-point. I would keep this one just as it is. Suggestions for your "rough1.png" would be to maybe change the background for your large te...

Hi Allie: I really like your "rough_1.jpg" the most out of both roughs. Everything is very clear and easy to see. Your bio text color is perfectly visible. I like that the lighter image of the blowing bubbles is in between the darker header & navigation areas. Looks very nice. I like t...

Hi Eduardo: It's good to see you in another GRC course! As far as your color choices, I love blue!! I like the saturated look of your "rough_width.jpg" a lot. I think using that bluish text for your bio instead of a white color is nice. This home page is simple and clean, but man it really...

Hi Kevin: I like to colors in the one with the pink stripes. Maybe some FX on the text in your header to make the dark on dark colors stand out better. I do like the light color of the TMCC against the lighter background at the bottom of the page. Usually I would say to avoid that, but on your page ...

Hi Grace: Love both designs. I'm really drawn to the "project1_prelim1.jpg" design. This is the type of designing I hope to eventually be able to do. I will often start with a background like the one in your "project1_prelim1.jpg", but I get overwhelmed and start defaulting to my...

Hi Ivor: I do like your black & white page, but the other page is visual comfort food for me. The colors of the page (I do love blues) blend perfectly with the colors of your image. It's clean, clear & crisp. I feel like I'm at the beach! :lol: The suggestion I have is for your black & w...

Hi BreeAnn: Your designs are great! the "stonge_prelim2_proj1.jpg" blows me away. I really, really like it! Maybe it's because I'm a HUGE fan of clean black & white! You even managed to include a busy image without sacrificing what is so visually pleasing about black & white. Your ...

Hi Michele: I love your 2nd design, project_01_prlim_02.jpg! The use of black, white & red (my go to is black, white & blue) & the layout is extremely visually pleasing for me. I wouldn't change a thing. I like where you are going with the other design. The layout breaks away from the no...
