Hi Guys. I'm making a soda based off of the folklore of alebrijes animals. They symbolize beauty and the magic of Mexico for me, so I wanted to make a fantasy element and have the soda give you powers/strength based on the animal design on the can. I found a cool CSS tutorial on making a carosel with a 3D element of a can and wanted to try that out for the product design.

Hi I like your first set of designs! I like how you are using complimentary colors like blue and orange. Excited to see that 3d element of your can with a carosel. I think one thing I would change is the the tracking of your type with "Aqua De" The spacing there seems a little awkward.

Hey,

I really like your product concept. it is a really cool idea!! I really like the layout of the first one but I think the only two colors with similar values is limiting what you can do. the blue and orange one is also really good I like imagery. if you mix the two concepts I think it will go a long way to your final product. I am looking forward to seeing your final!!

Hi Nancy,
I think this is such a cool idea!
I definitely like your top design, I would love to see more alebrijes

Hi!
I agree with someone else who said that you should try mixing both. As terrible as it seems!! I think the second design is too fun and visually interesting to let go of entirely, but the first design has really nice layouts to it. Maybe incorporating the color scheme and imagery from the second into the first design is really all you need to do to combine them. One critique maybe it's just me but I thought the hamburger menu was an equal sign, but maybe that was just me.

Hi, I really like your colors and layout on the first design. On the other hand, I think the second design might be easier to navigate your products. Maybe you can consider to mix between the two design as someone already suggest. Can't wait to see your final!

Hi Nancy!

Both of these designs are so clever. I'm also doing a bunch of cans, so I have a lot of sympathy for you; we are in it for the long haul. You're going to have your work cut out for you! I cannot wait to see what you do with your site.

Hey Nancy,
I really love how both of these designs look! But I feel like the first concept stands out to me the most since it feels much more balanced/cohesive and leaves a lasting impact on me with the use of complementary colors. I still really do like the concept of the second one where the visitor of the site scrolls down to follow the trail of can leading to the alebrejie, but I think that one might work exclusively better for a mobile format, you know? I also really enjoy the fonts and the type of imagery you've chosen, my only suggestion would be to maybe blend in the blue crystals in more with the background so that they are not competing with the front (maybe this is just because of how sharp and crisp the image is), but besides that, I think that you are off to an amazing start with this project! I can't wait to see how it ends up in the end, especially with that carousel css script you found !

Hi! I like the blue design better, I think it fits well with the product you are trying to advertise. The yellow design is also nice I just think it too vibrant for my personal liking and maybe could be better on a different type of product.
