    Nice, but..

    Posted on May 12, 2010 at 11:32 AM

    I like the idea behind the image, but I think that the 'window' should face the other way (with the edge we can see being on the new side), and a bit wider, maybe actively showing something being 'changed'.

    Mind you, I'm just nit-picking, as it is, it works well :)

      Thanks for the comments, I'l try and play around with switching the window and adjusting the width. I was struggling with making somethign actively changed. I tried to show that in the top blue block... but maybe I need to add something more

      Thanks again for your suggestions. I just posted a new concept to try and tie everything together a little more. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    3D element

    Posted on May 12, 2010 at 2:13 PM

    I like the different parts of the page. It is just putting them together that seems to be the struggle. I do like the change to having the window open toward structure today.

    I think I like the authors above the blue line with the line just above the bottom material. If you went with that, I would center the main image between the top box and the authors.

    If you could find a way to have the 3D boxes be twisted to where some of the points come out toward us, that would add a cool effect. Right now all we see is one side. Here is a thought that just came to me. What if you have the top text be related to the "old market structure" in boring-ness and put on the left side of the top of the page. Then have the bottom text related to the "new market structure" in coolness and scrunched more to the right side of the page at the bottom. Just a random thought.

      There is something about the top and bottom blocks that is not setting well with me. I've been just sitting here looking at it trying to figure it out.

      It might be the blank space to the right of the top and to the left of the bottom. It might be the font being in ALL CAPS. That makes the reading slower. Honestly, last review I didn't even make it all the way through the bottom paragraph. Try lower case and see how that looks to the eye.

      I would ignore that comment - they're talking pants. Really.

    Hi there Tiffany.

    Wow - you've done a great job on the design in the middle area with a very intelligent well thought out design.

    My personal thoughts are as follows...

    1. The condensed white out font on the blue background and all in caps I find hard to read. This I'd prefer to see in the non condensed version if it's to be all caps or preferably upper and lower case keeping the caps for the headline and byline names.

    2. Redefining Market Structure today across the middle I'd like to see all either condensed or non condensed - the colour change and gradient is enough of a change for me to get the difference between the left and right sections and the change of condensed to regular is too much for me although I can see how that may make balancing the left and right areas difficult.

    What may help also is closing up the white space a little so it all holds together a little more. White space isn't holding together well for me particularly in the bottom area.

    Overall though I really like it :)

      Hey thanks for your comments! I'm definitly going to experiment with my font choices more and try to make it more readible. I'll also play around with the white space and the balance. Thanks so much for your help! I'll post another version up soon if you don't mind checking that out when its done. : )
