Website redesign for Paper | Publisher Industry

Really like the design, layout and colors....great start!

Dont care much for the logo, feels out of place.

I really loved the bg, its awesome.

I don't feel that the site deals in book though. The logo is what is not merging with the site at all.

I wonder what are the splashes meant in the green bg...

Not really sure what the site does at first glance. Perhaps some verbage at the top somewhere to say what theydo.

I love the color pallette, works well. The rainbow colored balloon is really detracting from it though. I think the balloon looks a bit cheeseball anyways.

I love the design you have here, every single element complements with the others. Althout I agree about not knowing what this website is about.

I would also like to see an inside page, just to see how well it merges together

I agree with everyone, that the logo doesn't fit with the design. The design is however awesome!. I also agree with others that this doesn't say paper to me. I add some kind of statement about this being a site about paper.

The overall look and feel are great, this is a really nice design. However from a usability point of view I think it doesn't really say what your company is all about. I also find the navigation in the middle of the page sort of confusing. It gets lost. There needs to be a more clear call to action for users visiting the site, like a learn more button for example.

As most have said the logo doesn't really fit, but you are working on that, so thats good.

My only concern is that it doesn't say Book/Paper to me, which is a darn shame as the design is unbeleiveably good.

The top of the green cloud - I think the white glow is not needed, I think a flat texture is good, and I think adding an outdoor shadow to it

This is beautiful! I really dig the color scheme and textures. It's unclear to me what the purpose is however. The girls holding up the phone make me think technology right away, even though nothing else in the design indicates tech. The green/brown combos actually suggest more of an eco-friendly or "go green" type company. While that may be an objective of your client, the phone visual sends a mixed message. Maybe I'm missing something.

This is a nice site. Great colours, not too flashy (that's good). Nice use of gradients too. I would add a small line of text in the header to make its purpose clearer.

I honestly love the design at first glance. But when I read the description and some reviews, this seems to be unrelated. If I didn't read the description I would say this is a mobile/electronic website or a international language course website. As mentioned by the previous reviewers, logo need to be customized a bit. And you main images (although you have nice images there :P), you should find attractive images that related to your content. Other than that, I faved this design :)

I think there are just too many layers to this concept. You need to simplify it, and work on the details of each layer. Remove the splotches on the green background. The footer looks very flat and could use some more detail.

Hey Eric... I got one word to say…. Piece of great work

Not too much to say, however, I think few of things can be worked upon and could add value:

• Shadow underneath the top bar could be improve... try using a hard opacity with some opacity, I think that might look good

• Search icon in the top left might look good in green, also, “search” written in field could be a little lighter try using tone of Grey

• Logo not working with the other visuals and seems losing in the rest of creative visuals, green tone used in “M” not working… I think try increase log size a bit so that I could appropriately in your layout

• kid laying seem out of camera angel may be you could on this

• 3 section above the footer looks very nice and I think if you try avoiding the green box and let it be hanging on green might look good

• Footer seems perfect to me

once again GREAT JOB...

This is a BEAUTIFUL! design! it grabbed my eye the moment i saw it in the email newsletter. I love the interesting blend of colors. I don't know exactly what the content is because I don't understand the language - but I'm guessing it would be something techie because of the chicks with the cell phone? Will there be a link for an English version? I think subtle touches make all the difference so the patterns are awesome! The only thing I would change, would be the start of the green gradient (or is it an inner glow?) at the top of the main content background - maybe a darker green or no gradient at all to better match with the rest of your site...great piece of art!

The design is nice, it has a very "go green" kind of feel which is nice for a paper company and a good direction but it's not coming across as paper due to the photo content. Part of the problem is the photos you are using at the top. I think if you change the top design around it's going to feel more solid and also fulfill your purpose. Otherwise I agree with the other comments about the logo placement and such. Photos just need to say......papel more....

I'm just being picky, the design is great looking! Congratz.

If I would have to change something it would be: Try to make the logo match a bit more the design, the M with the serif doesn't makes it look out of place. Maybe try to make it a bit bigger.

The other thing I would look into is the font color of the top top bar. The black is creating too much contrast, try a dark brown, and maybe a medium grey for the search bar.

Good luck, and again I'm just being picky about it, it looks great as it is.
