    The hello all and the footer

    Posted on Mar 07, 2010 at 5:01 PM

    I like the first on as it is apart from:

    I would move the box with hello all underneath the text.

    Then, I would extend the footer on the left so it is inline with the "we handcraft clean &.... "

      hello & thank you for your review. underneath is a bit ambiguous. do you mean below or behind the text?

    Update the content to be more SEO Friendly.

    Posted on Mar 07, 2010 at 6:39 PM

    I know this is a Design comp so maybe the content is changing but make sure you tweak your content to make it so that your small and medium business clients can find you.

    First off, you have a very open concept yet, on concept 1, the text runs under the "postit". I prefer comp 2 for that reason, and because I prefer the blue color scheme.

    I like the treatment you used for the "postit" graphic. It has depth, you might want to think about a light source as well, and how that applies to everything.

    I noticed, also, that you have a lot of different fonts going on with this design. So keep that in mind, you don't have to go too crazy with different fonts to still make your impact.

    Overall I like it, great job.

    Details

    Posted on Mar 07, 2010 at 8:52 PM

    I love the color scheme and type choice, but there are just some small things that need tweaking. The x-height of the logo sits just below the menu system... those should be aligned a bit more. As others have said, I prefer the first version, but the "stickies" shouldn't cover up the main message. Also, the large "we handcraft..." sticks off the left side a bit (over the bottom bar) as well as the right sticky. If you're going to have a bar, you might as well align other things to it.

    The stickies

    Posted on Mar 08, 2010 at 6:53 AM

    The stickies are nice but as mentioned shouldn't hide the big message. Try to to find a workaround or just use one.

    Typography

    Posted on Mar 08, 2010 at 8:18 AM

    I like where you are going with this but don't think either of them are there yet. The overlapping text with the content blocks and the random text placement just looks unorganized.

    introduction colors / layout

    Posted on Mar 08, 2010 at 6:38 PM

    This is a great start. Ease the focus on the intro text. Try doing something inbetween the first and second concepts (ie. layout and contrasting blacks / blues.)

    sizing

    Posted on Mar 08, 2010 at 11:25 PM

    I would make the logo smaller and the navigation smaller. I like the one with the blue text better

    Show off some work

    Posted on Mar 09, 2010 at 8:31 AM

    For a web company i think you need to showcase at least one peice of work.

    I would also work on your footer, try and get more into it.

    Alignment and organisation

    Posted on Mar 09, 2010 at 11:28 AM

    The font feels really nice, and even though I like it, I think the designs somehow lacks coherence.

    I prefer number 1, but you should avoid the Post-It obscuring the headline. The placement of the two post-its, the main headline and the top-right menu all need to relate to each other. Try using a strong grid. At the moment, my eyes are not focusing on anything, I think you should develop a clear hierarchy of elements using strong alignments.

    Number 2 is more "fun", but feels a bit haphazard. Maybe try to reduce the line-heights and get all words close together so they form a "shape". This should be a recognisable element of the page, which you can then align in relation to the other elements. This would make the page hold together as a whole. You can even group the words as a single elements and have a gradient running through them.

    Would maybe use some inner Shadow

    Posted on Mar 09, 2010 at 11:34 AM

    I love the big typo on the first page. I would maybe try to use some inner Shadow with the font.

    Honestly I prefer the first one, it looks more professional, eyecatching and less confuse. The second one made me think to read the big typo text. I think you should use the "language" bar on the bottom as your main footer. Sorry for my bad english :)

    Legibility

    Posted on Mar 09, 2010 at 11:54 AM

    You're off to a good start. I'm going to mostly rehash what others have said, but if your main goal is to have your message heard, then it should be easy to read. Your tag line shouldn't be hidden behind post it notes, or have some words turned vertically. Your designs are legible, but they could use some tweaking (think grids). Keep it up, and you'll have a great design in no time!
