Here are my project 3 rough drafts. My first draft has all my pages on the same draft because it scrolls down.

Hello,
I like your first draft more than the second. I really like the idea of the website scrolling down. I also like the images you chose. I think I would change the font on the image to something bigger, and I would add more color to the background. Great job!

Now this is a clean pair of designs! They feel like fresh air moving over me. I like your first one due to it's extra simplicity and prioritization of photographs.

Your photographs are well chosen. They do a good job of explaining what the website is about without requiring the user to read one word of text. They also function as great dividers for the sections. I see you went with a stovepipe design for all resolutions. Your sans-serif type adds to the overall cleanliness. Pretty easy to read. Your navigation is easy to see and use. Good placement of the buttons and of the hamburger. That top navigation bar makes for a great framing element to the web page contents below it. Good organization and layout of everything, too. My eye moves easily over everything and I can quickly find my through it.

I think your design would be better served by a black background with white type. It would serve to highlight the colors in your images and make them much more vivid. I'd like to see a little more contrast in your typography, too. I think using either a lighter bodycopy or a thicker headline type (or both!) will really help to differentiate your bodycopy from you headings. Right now, it all runs together a bit.

Good work!

both layouts are interesting. each has its own independent feel they give off. teal is my favorite color so I am inherently biased however the alternating colored background and white background between each section is very good for creating hierarchy and distinct separation between each content without having to worry about margins and padding as much. my concern is that at smaller sizes the content, predominantly the body copy may not be readable. i like the layouts navigation over the imagery, its very clean and easy to follow.
