    Not a bad start

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 7:11 AM

    I like that you have kept the illustration style of the logo throughout the website. I think the colors work well together and that this is a good direction for you. I would have to see the final website design before I said for sure, but good momentum here.

    hierarchy

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 7:14 AM

    I would give more importance to one of the 2 blocks of text in order to define a hierarchy and guide the user in the reading of the page

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 9:02 AM

    I do like the nave... and the way you did ur blog. It has a nice orignal feel to it. The introducing wesley text is a little hard to read... but not to bad

    The handwritten text is just a little hard to read, maybe tone it down a little, other than that i think you have a great wee design here.

    Good So far

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:01 PM

    Hey from what I see it's a strong concept, however it may be tricky to pull off...

    I love the logo, and the fact that the illustration effect has been used throughout, I would say the background illustration should be similiar to that of wesley the woodlouse...

    Keep going its a great idea...

    Contrast

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:11 PM

    The contrast of the "Latest Story" and "Introducing Wesley" text needs improvement. I really like the overall style considering the target audience.

    Navigation

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:17 PM

    I loke the concept, its fresh and nice. I wonder how the sub pages look like.

    Navigation is nice, but the font can be a little tricky the read, so I would consider changing it

    colors

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:27 PM

    How about using happier colors (not so much grey), this is for children...

    spacing above the footer

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:34 PM

    I like it! Especially the handwriting, and whole impression :) I would just add more space between the footer and the rest, because it touches text box to the left. Probably font will need to be large, to be easily readable for children.

    Add a bit more color.

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 3:57 PM

    I really enjoy the direction this is going in, but I too would like to see a little more color. Brushing in a bit of the yellow you have in your logo. I really like the scene at the bottom but maybe a color change to it bc the gray makes the scene look a little dreary.

    Plan for more whitespace

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 9:18 PM

    Looking pretty good already and also very original. Are you sure though this will be engaging for kids? It seems like it will be a pretty text heavy site.

    Anyway, if you're in an early stage, I would suggest you plan for more whitespace, I feel there could be more.
