Hello everyone, For Project 1, I have chosen to use a minimal design with a simple background texture a few images and little color. The typefaces I have used are: Ingra (Sans Serif) for the body and Essonnes (Serif) for the welcoming message. This portfolio is a single page and the navigation will ...

Hello! I enjoyed both designs and your minimalist approach. The first rough seems more appealing to me, the black and white theme looks great with the color you have chosen. The idea is original as well. Maybe, the content (text and pictures) should take up more of that space you have dedicated to i...

Hi Elizabeth, I think the second design works best, I like how large the illustration is. For that one, I would just make your email address stand out more. The first design is also interesting, I like the navigation bar and the typeface you used for your name. If you chose to go with that one, mayb...

Hi Ivor, Both designs look great! The first one makes me think of Art Deco, the lines around your boxes and your typeface are perfect. It's clean and straightforward. How do you intend to design the content that will go in your boxes? Will they follow the black and white theme or will they be colorf...

Beautiful designs! I enjoyed both although if I had to choose, I would go with the first one. Your background image is great! I would suggest to make your navigation slightly bolder to differentiate it from the rest. The second design works well too, I really enjoy the layout, and the picture of boo...

Eduardo, The second design works best I think, I enjoy what you did with the background, it looks great! For that one I would just make your name stand out more, it blends in with the box behind it. The first design is very bright, but the contrast with the black bar at the top works well. Maybe the...

Hi Sarah, I think your first design works better than the second. I love the antlers at the top, and the way your pictures will be displayed! I would only make the color of your navigation (texts) the color of the background of the body (the yellow or light brown). Your navigation bar in the second ...

Ed, Both designs are great, although I prefer the first one. I think the typeface you chose for your name is wonderful. I wouldn't change a thing on your Sophisticated page. The Techie page is very good looking as well, the navigation bar in particular. For that design I would only make your name st...

Grace, Your second design is amazing, I love the picture and colors! I struggle to find an element that needs to be changed, maybe make your email address the same color as your name? It would make it stand out even more. Great job! The first design is good as well but the second is my favorite :) Y...

Hi Kevin, The first design is great, I like the simplicity of it and the color of your background! Will the artsy fonts remain that way for your navigation? Even though it looks cool, I thing the navigation is the one element that needs to be clear and straightforward. That is the only thing I would...
