Project 01 Prelim

Post by kevin_ksk »

Hi everyone. I picked the designer Tom Muller as my inspiration.

Hi Kevin,
I like your bottom second design, it feels more dynamic and relevant. I also like the space you left on the home pages, there's space for the eye to move even though its an intense red screen. I would maybe carry some of that space onto your gallery page.

Hi Kevin,

I like your second set of designs. Your homepage really catches my eye especially because of the bright orange background and the white text, it looks like a modern website. For your gallery pages I think I would try adding a bit of space between the images that way they do not clash together.

Hi Kevin, I like your second design more. I love your home page. It is striking. White text is pop out and easier to read comparing to the first design which is a bit hard to read. One thing you could consider is making the artist's name/logo on the top left corner more pop. I look forward to seeing the final version.

Hey Kevin,
Great work on these prelims! I really enjoy how professional and cohesive they are in each version, and the text hierarchy provides great readability through out it! However, the first version is a bit overwhelming with the designs visible behind Tom Muller in the cover image and his work below, especially in the mobile format (I would suggest not including his other work on the home page in the mobile version since it just adds too much immediately if opening the site for the first time, and to have them instead only on the Gallery page).

So, I'm more drawn to your second concept where it's much more breathable and well-balanced. I also find it very visually captivating with the bright orange background on the home page and Muller's face front and center behind his name--very clever to make the background for the inner pages a complimentary blue :)! Overall, I would say this concept in particular is the one that grabs my attention the most and is the one worth pursuing. But I would love to see which direction you will take in your final rendition, but for, great work!

hello, I really like the orange designs, I like the very bold orange and how the navigation is small works really well. I like how the image takes up the entire screen and its a really cool idea. I think maybe play around with his name a little, as of right now its covering his face, I think it would be cool if you managed to put it behind him or even lower the transparency of his name. I would also maybe capitalize the T, but I'm not sure if he prefers it to be lowercase. other than that, I really like your designs, good job! cant wait to see the final result!
