Here are my roughs for project 2.

I really like your second design. It has alot of info, but is so well organized that it doesn't overwhelm me. It's very professional and manages to convey the health and exercise vibe as well. The layout, use of imagery and text are all working to encourage me to buy the product.

I'm no sportsman but looking at your pages makes me thirsty for your product and makes me think that if I drink that drank I could be good at sports things. Branding is consistent with your previous pages. The contrasts are fantastic. Layout is easy to follow. Lookin' good, Joe.

The second one is much more visually appealing. The first one, while it mimics your one of your original project 1 roughs, feels really bare and uninviting.

Both designs turned out really well! I can't really tell you which one to go with because you'll need them both on your site. I love how the colors pop of the page. You did a really great job with contrast. The only thing I would say is maybe work on your visual alignment. On the design for the specific product your body copy looks a little weird with how it is aligned with everything else. Otherwise everything looks great!

I think you could incorporate both roughs into your website.

Yeah, I definitely need to get a little more specific in the project instructions. I was looking for two product page roughs, but I didn't specify that in the project handout so you're fine with these.

You've done a great job expanding your already existing branding and design with these layouts, Joe. Once again, these use contrast extremely well. The use of color, plus black and white really helps establish a strong visual hierarchy. The product page in particular is a great layout. The type is easy to read, it's easy to navigate and it's a textbook use of margin. Also, due to your colors, I know exactly where to click to buy the product.

My only issue is I think there's a little too much white space on your product category page. I think the images can be enlarged and locked together a bit. I'd also enlarge the product titles and move them closer to their product images so they're not quite so free floating.

Excellent job!

I really like how you've displayed the product itself but I feel like you could somehow make the products page more visually interesting. Maybe adding alternating background colors to every other row of items. Idk I really like the branding and everything else is working really well. Good job
