    I'll make the texts old style

    Posted on Mar 27, 2010 at 8:34 AM

    I like a lot the design and the hard drives in the background :D

    But i think the text are too modern for this design.

    amount of "Samsung"

    Posted on Mar 27, 2010 at 8:44 AM

    Looks nice, but is there enough "Samsung" in it? I mean the only thing about Samsung is their logo in the corner, maybe you should at least use the blue color of the logo in the "5" icon.

    I like the look of it

    Posted on Mar 29, 2010 at 7:52 AM

    I'm torn on this one. I do really like the look, but if I picked this up would I read it. When I first saw it, it wasn't apparent that it was for Samsung. I think you need to make this look more like Samsung's branding, simple and clean. To me this doesn't say samsung, it says rock concert.

    Overused Style

    Posted on Apr 03, 2010 at 12:35 AM

    First of all: well done, looks great BUT (sorry to say)...

    ... i can't see these kind of tattoo-style anymore! They appeared years ago in the design-industry and i loved them in 2005 but now in 2010 it's an overused look!

    The copy seems way too hard to flow with.

    Hard to read

    Posted on Mar 26, 2010 at 6:49 PM

    I love the artwork on the top of the page, The brown text over the brown lines made it really hard to read. I kept loosing my places and had to backtrack. So probably a bad thing since it's only three lines.

    Also, is the statement "5 Years Warranty" the right phrasing? Shouldn't it read "5 Year Warranty"? I'm not good with proper grammar, so maybe someone else can comment.

    Should HDD be spelled out? Hard Drive makes more sense to a consumer than HDD.

    Okay last bit of feedback. The links for know more, and visit website... have you tried those as a nice styled button? The call to action is so lost in the design, I almost didn't see it.

    copy

    Posted on Mar 26, 2010 at 6:52 PM

    Agreed. The main text does not stand out enough and gets lost in the illustration behind it.

    I think the action links need to be more prominent with a solid red background or try tying in the illustrative scrolls by placing them in that negative space on either side of "know more about this product | Visit samsung website." The whole text area below "imagine the center..." needs to be broken up somehow and needs more contrast.

    Really great illustration and colour scheme.

      I also think that the obligatory subscribe/view/unsubscribe section should be in a smaller font size so more focus can be brought towards the main information.

    Copy

    Hi! The copy text is really hard to read, as everyone else has said. I also agree that the unsubscribe, etc. links should be smaller.

    I think that it might improve the design to make the "Samsung" logo grungier so it fits better with the theme.

    Great artwork and good concept!
