personal website

I don't know if I'm sold on this design. You obviously have talent and I 'm not sure that this design really sells it. The typography, on the first page especially, seems to be lacking a bit. The design also seems to be just based off of squares and there is no real interest in it. You have a clean look going but don't follow it completely. I just think we might be able to see something better out of ya. That being said, the site design is by no means bad, just could be better.

Last but not least, I'm really struggling with your logo. What does it mean/say. Colors are a bit random and subtle. The "FourSevenDesign" definitely fades into the background.

These are just my opinions, I hope they help you out in some small way!

Overall great design.

But I have some notes.

• Welcome page is a little subtle. Its good to have some catching images here. And I don't think I like that welcome text< that looks like tag cloud.

• Sum logo idea is good. But I think u must play a bit with reflections on it if u want to go that way or make it solid color, it may work.

Anyway it's a very good start.

LOGO

Logo is nice. As another member said, it feels too big spanning across the entire website. I have to move my head across my monitor, before I fully SEE the whole logo. Then my brain has to process it to understand that it says IV.VII -- so, that slows everything down.

I don't like the huge kerning in FourSevenDesign, and I think it would, once again, improve legibility of the logo to somehow distinguish Four from Seven from Design, instead of making it appear like one word.

INDEX PAGE

The lines are way too long. Body writing really shouldn't go beyond 480px. It slows down reading.

Also, I don't like how you emphasized some words. It makes it look like a Tag List. Body writing should flow naturally. If you want to emphasize certain words, put together a mosaic or something stylish. But creating that much variation in your body writing makes it look really cheap and illegible.

You could use some more content on your home page. Or go completely simplistic, and just have your logo and navigation menu,

I agree with most of the other comments, so I won't reiterate

Your landing page is a little "texty". Users should be able to 'see' what you do, not 'read' what you do. Especially as a designer.

Always to the walkby test. Look away, and look quickly at your design. What impression do you get? I don't get designer... I actually see hearts...

Keep at it. I think you're on to something ...

I think it's a great start :)

I actually love that the logo is huge. I really like that geometric logo but I think that legibility needs improvement. Maybe try to make the bottom of the Vs more pointy and tapered?

I also think that carrying the colors through from the logo to the different specialty areas in the site is very clever, but it's too bad that you don't have that connection on the landing page.

The navigation changes from the landing page to the other pages - I would just keep it at the top like the landing page. Where they are now on the interior pages doesn't read as navigation to me at all! You should also link the logo in the interior pages back to the landing page.

The text on the landing page is way too long - people are receptive to small nuggets of information, so I would shorten it a lot. It's too light next to the big dark logo - I would enlarge the text size, use a bolder weight and maybe try using all caps with color for highlighting certain words instead of size.

Pay attention to the text size throughout your site - you tend to use it too small with leading that is too tight.

The one thing I'd pick on is the mainpage text, not sure the formatting looks best like that... also you've got great artworks, why not some teaser cropped image or something like that...? Also the colours from the logo are nice, but subtle, so the page looks grey overall. But I love the huge logo, I think it looks great and punchy, and I do like your website design very much :)...

but i think that it looks pretty good. I don't like the white border around the homepage and i think the glow looks a bit awkward. all the text isn't well placed on the home page. I think you might want to split that up a bit.

but your inside page pretty cool :)

and also like your logo concept of four as "iv" and seven as "vii"
