    The blue!

    Like the concept but for me the blue doesn't go :(

    I'd also invest more time in polishing up the illustration.

    Green brains in bowls spilling from tin cans???

    Posted on Oct 08, 2010 at 9:45 PM

    Okay, firstly I should mention that I really, really had to spend nearly 2 minutes (an eternity in user experiences) to understand what on earth this site was about. Not a good sign.

    The illustration - though rendering is cute -- looks like it was done in 1995, and is quite frankly, a little gross looking. Reminds me -- also from 1995 - of kids getting slimmed on Nickelodeon or something I don't want to eat that mom cooked. The can? Tin cans just convey images of garbage... especially when oozing florescent green brains in blue goo. Truly, the illustration is the weakest part. Get everything laid out and designed first, then "brainstorm" illustrations to add to it, if that's what you want. Looks like someone fell in love with the illustration and is designing a site around it.

    I actually really like the 1, 2, 3, and the typography of the "No need to sign up" - that little section really seems to set well, though the gray box right below I mistook several times for a reflection (I skim more than I read).

    Love the "Feed your brain!" font, and style of text. I get the idea, the soup = feed, haha. But try something more appealing, not gross.

    illustrations!

    Posted on Oct 11, 2010 at 2:04 PM

    who made your illustrations?!

    Is that a brain? :D

    Other than that it's just too simple , and the colors don't work one with each other.

    Try to make a palette and go with it!

    Good luck.

    Consistency

    I would round off a lot of the buttons you have to match the tabs at the top of the page. The backgrounds looks much too photoshopped.

    Needs a rethink

    Posted on Oct 12, 2010 at 11:01 AM

    Unfortunately I feel the design comes of looking quite unprofessional and childish. Whilst I am aware this might be suitable for the younger range of your target market I think it might hinder you in the top end.

    Your call to action is good but could be emphasised even more.

    All in al a benefit could be had from cleaning up the design by making it simpler and focusing more on the product.

    Very original...you did well in this regard, but the boxes just look amateur. The boxes (create, play, challenge) needs to have a higher quality of graphics, as well as the long boxes below that stick out from the rest of the design. Loose the backgrounds and just leave the content.

    Buddy your idea is not clear...

    You r making brains in a bowl and writing feed your brain!

    that means our brain is going to eat these smaller brains??? Not a good idea for an educational site...

    Blue spilling on black

    Posted on Oct 10, 2010 at 5:46 PM

    The design is poor, try to make it enticing, the blue spilling on black is like going from good to black Also it looks like a site advertising medication (drugs) and something in that kind

    The illustration looks unfinished for

    The layout and structure of the 1-2-3 middle section works well and the illustration captures too much attention and takes up too much real-estate for something that looks unfinished.

    If you want more sign-ups then make sure the Sign-up button is one of the main focus of the page, try making it bigger, brighter and adjusting the surrounding elements so its really stands out.
