  • Concept: New home page and colors for a quiz site

    UI

    From a user's point of view, I think there is a need for much more 'guidance', eg a clearer hierarchy in the information you are presenting. The path followed by the reader's eye is very 'jumpy', the main point of focus is kind of lost at the top, the ad is very distracting, and the overwhelming amount of text isn't inviting as it is.

      maybe the top thumbnails aren't necessary

      Those top thumbnails are kind of redundant... I feel the bigger ones underneath are enough and you would remove one of your alignment issues by not having them there.

        • I agree, they seem unnecessary. If you don't want to remove them, at least align them better.

        more energy

        I would try and put some things off balance to bring more energy to the composition, right now the visual lines are very vertical/horizontal (board / snowboarder body for example)

          the gun / message

          I understand the message you want to convey through the typography / gun image... still, it leaves me with a bitter taste. The first thing that grabs my attention IS the gun, and even though this gets distilled by your words, the primary (bad) feeling stays as a background and makes me want to leave the page.

            • Hey Caro. I know that some people do have a negative association with guns, and I can understand that. But to be honest, those people aren't the kind of clients I tend toward. The persona I'm aiming at is a little more aggressive than that. I'd go so far as to say that a persona that can't offend anyone is a persona that can't inspire real loyalty in anyone either. But maybe I've been reading too much of Naomi Dunford's stuff (:

            recrop photo

            Maybe you can crop the photo portrait to make it more striking (close up / off center...)?

                • Yeah you're right - I did that on purpose so that spam harvesters couldn't get my e-mail-adress too easily. But it doesn't feel like great UI, so I need to look for a better solution there. Thanks for the feedback!

                too much purple... too much text
                • The purple is over bearing, not classy...

                • The text under the photos wouldn't get read, if it's important information it definitely needs to be condensed and reformatted... but if it's not that important, you could just remove it altogether...

                • The navigation looks messy, there are 3 sets of menus all looking different, just too much going on...

                • what's the 'hot seller' long rectangle about ??

                • The whole layout is overcrowded

                  white on grey

                  I like many of the aspects of this website, it's clean, clear, crisp, and really makes your work, eg the actual content, stand out... the only thing I find to say is about the 'what to do' / 'recent work' titles that could be more contrasted, just because of the readability issue...

                    • Thanks Caro, you're not the first to suggest more contrast on the headers...I will certainly take a look at that.

                    originality

                    It doesn't strike me as a very original design, but it is sleek and beautiful.

                    • Concept: Ultimate Urban Challenge Logo Design

                      gloomy

                      Same thought as other reviewers... You could keep this concept as a basis for a poster maybe, although it is actually a bit hard to read, but as a logo it doesn't work. I like the star in the window, I would focus more on that... and make the concept include some 'dream' feel, 'make a wish' foundation is about trying to bring some happiness into kids lives, but this city looks dark and gloomy...

                      • Concept: Newbird Design

                        the 'cuddly' feel

                        I would try and make the range of services that you offer more obvious, as the strength of the company is that it integrates all the different aspects of website design... The feel and colours look sort of 'shy', everything is very light and boxed, I'm not feeling guided through the layout... Also I'm not sure the choice of photo conveys the right 'energy', the couple looks like they need reassurance, rather than inspires confidence...

                          • Very nice observation! i was thinking i might try to make that photo area a bit more personal to the company.

                          I like the 2nd design a lot better, I'd go for the green, it a nice gradient and reminds of the bamboo look.

                            the text area of the main page

                            The one thing I'd pick on is the mainpage text, not sure the formatting looks best like that... also you've got great artworks, why not some teaser cropped image or something like that...? Also the colours from the logo are nice, but subtle, so the page looks grey overall. But I love the huge logo, I think it looks great and punchy, and I do like your website design very much :)...

                              • cheers guys, im takin all this on board! i have had a little play with the landing page, ive added some teasers here and there and layed it out better and more appealing that a big block of text! im still workin on it but it'll be up soon so ya'll can see! as for the colours in the logo, i left them subtle as the 5 colours linking to the pages are all very different and any larger (from a graphic design point of view) would take away from the tidiness of the site... but yeah, keep it coming thanks

                              the grey feel

                              It looks too greyish to me as it is now to really engage, I don't know where exactly to focus my attention, the hierarchy is fuzzy... It feels as it needs some energy somehow, maybe through colours or with a differently organized layout...

                                  I agree with previous review, the chimney and smoke surely are too big an irony... what about some eco looking house...i don't say go fully 'earthship' (a word worth googling for ideas) style but at least a little 'earthship'ish' ?

                                  Aside from that, I do really like the apple green and shape...

                                      more padding

                                      This definitely suits the mood of an Irish bar...

                                      Maybe more padding is needed around in the blackboard and main content...

                                      I like the newsletter / torn piece of newspaper idea, maybe the main content could use something similar rather than the 'rolling' paper which looks more 'middle ages' than Irish pub.

                                        thicker handle ?

                                        Between those 2, definitely nb 1 !

                                        i do like the naive style... maybe a thicker handle would suit the rest of the rest of the design better ? I'd also move the 'smoke heart' a tad off center or give slight inclination to the cup, something to give a little more dynamism since your objective includes 'funky'.. last thing is, I'd lose the shadow...

                                          olive colour

                                          I think the drop of oil ( / vinegar) in the middle is really a great touch, maybe you can try a more 'olivish' colour to reinforce that, but I like (4) as it is anyway...

                                            claustrophobic

                                            maybe you could gain some white space by rethinking the organization of the site... right now it feels so crowded it's almost claustrophobic, his is reinforced by the top image of the shelves actually... but then again, it also suggests 'cramped discount store' = cheap = your message got across...

                                              blue bg

                                              The first thing that comes to my mind is to change the background, this light blue just does not suggest what you want eg young / new / modern / techno nor trendy, quite the opposite (old fashion, cold, hospital, swimming pool...??)...

                                                w = u + typo

                                                At first glance the letter i see in the logo is U not W... and the typo doesn't seem to be working...

                                                  spot on

                                                  I just like this on so many levels... I think the robot is really fun, the colours are perfect, usability is spot on... just a great job really...

                                                    deja vu...

                                                    I don't know where, but I have a feeling of deja vu... I do like the text gradient and colour, just not the person really...
