Venos - Online Bed Shop
0 VotesAs others have said, good work on a difficult job.
The only thing i'd consider is throwing in an Ajax slider or something on top - before you hot the boringness of bed after bed.
If you can get a large image in first of some "selling" shots sliding (special offers etc.) your more likely to "sell" on the first page rather than "bamboozle" the customer with choice.
By selling shots I hope you know what I mean. People lounging around in a comfy duvet laughing, drinking wine, whatever they happen to be doing. Yeh, you know what I mean. "Come buy this bed and you too could be with the person of your dreams having the time of your life - and it's only £99 !"

Dzign.Art Mock Up Logo
0 VotesI like the symbol in design 3, think that could work.
And design 5 is interesting, I like the idea, but it's not quite right. Keep playing with that, and the text in 3 as I think the symbol really works.

covenant of love logo
0 VotesTo me, this looks like a pretty bad illustration thrown on top of an image.
Nothing lines up, it just looks far too thrown together in 30 seconds.
Drop the legs, have the arms curve around the background images circle and i'd probably even drop the womans pony tail - you don't need it.
Put a bit of effort in, this just looks lazy to me.

Snow Riders Website
0 VotesWould be very interested to see this on a working page, but it's pretty cool.
Whilst I like the swirls around the boarder, I don't get the arrow coming out from the board? I'd also make them more subtle - to me it seems a little like you've learned a new technique and wanted to show it off. It's wicked don't get me wrong, but I think it would work better if it was more subtle.
Is the use of pink in there for the females so your not accused of being sexist? It's a good effort but I don't think it works. Maybe try orange? I find it works better off blue than pink.
I also agree with the 3rd comment - "should be even wilder", first look of the site gets your really energised and excited, but once your eyes hit the content everything seems a bit dull.
Keep the enthusiasm going in all aspects of the design.
Great work though, I wouldn't say you're far off.

Ultimate Urban Challenge Logo Design
0 VotesInteresting. Loving the idea. As everyone else has said, adding some windows might help (or make it more obvious it's a skyline). There's something not quite sitting right with me on the skyline/maze - don't get me wrong I like it, but I can't work out whether it's too simple, or not simple enough.
hmm...

Logo Etnomark
0 VotesThe dark gradient you have over the top, I would personally get rid of that - why is there? Also don't like the way the "speech marks" (im assuming thats what they are?) line up.
But the idea isn't a bad one.

Christmas Poster 2009
0 VotesVery hard to read the text - all of the text.
White and gold/yellow font on a bright red background is very difficult to read. I'm guessing you've added drop shadow to try and make the text more readable - this hasn't worked unfortunately.
I'd also make more of a "statement" about the date/time/place.
Order the text by importance.

Riady Santoso commented:I have darkened the red background - but probably is not dark enough to make the text stands out. Thanks for the feedback Marc - I will work on it

Logo redesign
0 VotesVery nice. As others said, bin the white line. Aside from that, it works well. Good job.

Online Store Landing Page (new version)
1 VoteI hate the terms such as Web 2.0, but the web and design does move on. This, i'm sorry to say, looks like it was designed in the 90's.
It's bland, boring, very static, and unoriginal.
Back to the drawing board on this I think.

HDesignOnline.com
3 VotesReally nice colour scheme, but could do with something more vibrant to bring it to life a bit more (like the orange on your current site). You need to bring it to life a little bit, it's a little too "earthy" at the moment.
Really like the way you're displaying work, nice layout and easy to see the relevant information.
Someone else commented on the logo being to the right - keep it this way, dare to be different and all that.
Not sure about the big "design uncomplicated" image. Doesn't work for me at all personally - it's a bit boring. Give your mission statement some "jazz".

Nate Hamilton commented:Thanks for the feedback Marc. When you say my tagline doesn't work for you at all, do you mean graphically or the actual tagline, just curious...thanks again!
-
marc commented:Graphically - it's just a bit bland and boring. I assume this is your main selling point, the first glimpse people have at what you can do? Really need to sell yourself both verbally and graphically here.

Having just looked on their current site, they kind of have what I mean on the home page (ajax slider), but without the "new life happiness" images to boot.
Make beds exciting, after all, they are the best place to be!
