I would like to do my website on a foreign cultural icon in Japan, a man named Shigesato Itoi. He's very known for various reasons in Japan which include things like a copywriter essayist and voice actor, but outside of Japan he's mostly known for being the creator of the "Mother" video game series, or better known as "Earthbound," under Nintendo. The series has become one of my biggest inspirations both as an artist/designer and as a person in general. : )

My two designs I want to be playful looking, but fairly simple, with an iconic character in the series, Mr. Saturn.

I don't know if we're supposed to have mobile designs yet or not. I'm going to try designing down on this one. Let me know what you guys think : )

I kind of like the bottom one because hes peeking out and its cute. But I like the stacking of the other one too...which in the end may lend it self better to responsiveness.

Side note.. that character looks like Ziggy. ( am I aging myself?)

I like the second set of designs. The large head is more fun/dynamic. I would try to break up the large block of text though.

I think the second set will work best. I like how the character is looking up at the information drawing your eye in. But i would defiantly conceptualize mobile or tablet versions. The purpose of this site is to be responsive and I think it will help having 'wireframes' so its easier to visualize how your site flows onto a smaller screen.

I like your second concept. The image on the bottom of the page gives it a simple look but also allows it to show the inspiration of your site.

I like the second design, I think the large image is fun and unexpected.

I also like the second one, the image is eye-catching
