GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

I personally prefer your 2nd home page rough. The front photo is inviting and has nice colors. You also did a good job with choosing typefaces that represent elegance. My suggestions for you: put an opaque shape behind your headline on top of the photos; align your "E" logo to the very lef...

The blue layout has a really cool style to it and the typeface is eye-catching. Your chalkboard layout is nice as well, but I feel that it targets a younger audience, whereas the blue layout targets a widespread audience. Instead of having so much space between words on the leftmost column of the bl...

I really like both of the styles of these layouts. The old photograph blended with the modern photography is really cool. Overall, I'd say your second design is stronger. The first layout is nice, but it feels cluttered and less unified. It would be cool if you could somehow incorporate that blended...

Hi everyone! The website that I chose to recreate was oj.com . Take in all of its beauty. Since this website is only one page and incomplete, I am hoping to add a few more pages to make it complete. Those pages will include a Nutritional Info page and a Products page. I am still trying to unify my c...

This looks so good! I love the addition of the drop shadows and the changes to the letters sticking out of the boxes. I am still having a hard time with the A and the E, just because the thin serifs don't create enough contrast when sticking off of the gray box. I would bring them in completely so t...

This turned out really nice! The blocked images give the layout a modern feel. I really like your top navigation and your logo in the center. I would suggest bring the headlines for Projects and Links further down so that it is closer to the images and further from the "Hello" and about co...

I love the different styles that you gave to the shapes. Your colors are nice as well. Since you changed your background color, it makes the overall type hard to read. I also feel that you need to change your Project text to white, or lighten the shapes that the text is on. The type at the bottom of...

Great improvements from the preliminary critique! The color scheme is nice. Your nav buttons are creative, too. You could try reflecting the middle buttons to give it some more style. Also it would be nice to have your about body copy centered in the box, or remove the box complete and make the type...

I love these designs! The imagery is nice and your layouts and easy to read and easy to follow. I think that for how clean these layouts are, the GRC logo still does not reflect your website. It either needs to be smaller, or you could simplify it and create a new one (although that might be more wo...

Moving the background really did fix that contrast issue. Good job! The body copy is also easier to read. A few changes I would like to see -- bring Fall 2017 on the same line and Web Design and Publishing to make it one line; make the TMCC logo less dominant.
