This is happening....

Post by c.j.jackson775 »

So I have some cool ideas. They are roughed out below. The presentation may look weird, because it is. I'm going to try this javascript thingy that I found http://alvarotrigo.com/pagePiling/ Sooooooo..... when you look at these, assuming you looked at the link I provided, try to conceive them in this kind of reality. If your too lazy than just treat each rectangle as a different page but remember these little rectangles will swap every time you scroll. The product is this thing that clips onto your shoe, it is supposed to help balance your energy by using copper, if that doesn't work, than it looks kind of cool on your shoe anyway. I need to work on unifying all these design elements I know but these are roughs. I should have made them grayscale because at the moment I'm not happy with all of the color choices but that is easily changed.

i like the second choice the best. it seems to me to be more sporty with your font choice. I dont understand about your jquery though and i looked at your link. Im sure it will be cool. Its nice and simple and to the point. I know this is a mock up but i dont see where your page buttons will go. but anyways I like what you have done.

Hi Chris, I like the layout of version 1 the best, although, I'm not too crazy about the font choice for the word "clip." The java script thingy is kind of cool but it says that it only goes back to IE8. I hope that won't impact your design. I prefer the icon buttons on the blue page of version 2, they give me an indication of where it will take me. Good designs on both roughs!

A very cool concept, I think I get what you're trying to accomplish, and your designs will work nicely with that idea in mind! I really like that you've given your product customizable options, that's always a nifty and creative feature. I'm a bit confused as to exactly what the Clip Up does, I get that it goes on your shoe, but I'm still a little foggy. A step tracker, I'm guessing? Just curious! Overall your designs are great! I'm leaning more towards the second version you've shown, primarily because the colors you choose seem more professional and visually interesting. Can't really find anything to critique, I think on the main page you should add some kind of imagery/graphic, it's just looking really simple. Maybe a silhouette or subtle pattern? Nicely done, I'm excited to see this finished!

I like the idea of the Second one better, with the simple "home" page. However, i fear that it may be a little too simple. I feel like im looking for a little more.

Hi Chris! Nice job on both of your designs! I really like the layout that you are planning on creating, as well. I think both roughs that you created are eye catching, have a sporty feel to them, easy to navigate through, & the simplicity of the one page idea is awesome. I think I like version #2 the best but I like the imagery and font choices that you used for the homepage. One suggestion that I would make is to definitely add some more information about your product instead of just images. Otherwise, great job and I cannot wait to see your final design!

Wow some awesome illustrator work! I'm really liking the first design I like the red and white theme going on looks clean and more professional. The only thing I can say to improve on the first design is the 'Up' is touching underneath the photo maybe bring in up a little so its over lapping the photo instead don't know why it bothers me where it is right now but it does haha.

I am leaning towards the first version. I think the imagery is strong and the idea is there. I would like to see more description only because I am not sure if it communicates why I would want it. Why would I buy this product? Also I think because the name is Clip Up the "UP" part should be on top to show a sense of action with the word.
