So I am going to design a site off of Brassai... hes a photographer

If you can believe it there is NO relation to Doctor Who! I know shocking.

but here are my ideas






and then I changed the shape a bit and added texture.. although Im pretty solid on wanting to go very minimal so that his photos are the main attraction

I like the first designs. I think the white amplifies the photography better than the gray and it's minimalism makes the photos the star.

Both of your designs are very similar, but the first designs speaks more of photography than the second design, but it I really like the texture background you have for the second design, it gives the grainy feelings from the black and white photography...

Your designs are very similar but I do like the first design. It shows the photography off instead of it blending in.

I agree they are similar too but nice concepts. I like the frist one i think the logo and gray band behind it go better with the overall feel of the site. I know you can do responsive already but id like to see a mobile version maybe . Overall very clean design that compliments the photographer.

I like them both since they look so similar. The only real headache/annoying thing you will have to deal with is your menu isn't responsive friendly. At least you may need to add a lot of break points to keep it in a line that stretches across the screen like that. You'll see when you build it. menus that take up the full line like that are annoying to deal with.

Its true your menu is gonna be a pain. I like the subtle grey design. I thing it is easier on the eyes.

Ya thanks guys, some of the layout is changing a bit to compensate for responsiveness but itll do...

I like your designs but definitely think the round logo is better as it breaks up all the squareness of the rest of the design.
