Logo - (revised) for web design / web 2.0 services
1 VoteI agree the drop doesn't look natural enough but glossing it up is not the answer! I would suggest maybe making the whole in the b the shape of a water drop and maybe that can bring it together. Or something along those iines

website design for 5cmplus.de
0 VotesThere is A LOT of text. Most of the copy is the same size. You need more hierarchy. Remember people today have the attention span of goldfish nobody's gonna read all that text unless you make it easy. Maybe tabs so the different country stuff is separated, giving you less to look at. Also its's very colorful and the handwritten text gives a ver childish feel, If you want older men to consider this i would suggest getting rid of the pink, and pick a serious typeface

Ovi Hentea commented:I'd say Analise has a valid point about the length of body paragraphs. True, they do read verbose news articles online, but when you're trying to sell/present a product, you cannot afford the luxury of ongoing descriptive text. My vote goes for a list of features at the top of the page linked to the section that gives further detail.

Website Review
0 VotesThe search bar is not next to the input line which affects usability. It is very web 2.0, the colors are nice, gradients subtle, how the text is formatted is the biggest off point. At most points there is too much text in too little space. Not enough padding. One huge flaw I just realized, there is not way to tell links apart from regular text! Add underlines or a color change, something! Also something people have gotten used to that would help usability is hover effects, when we hover over links usually a color change or an added/disappearing underline lets us know that is indeed a link. That's the biggest problem. Last thing is in the screen shot, the line length at the top is waaaaay too long, however on the actual site I did not see that so I guess you fixed it? Happy Designing

0 VotesI think the gradient is a little strong but that's the only thing that really bothers me. I think the typography on the left could stand for more work. Maybe make the phone number stand out because all that information gets lost. You also might want to reconsider the formatting of the right side because it does not read correctly, in is the first word I read. I like the subtle texture

0 VotesThe gradients are way too high in contrast, try something more subtle. I don't know about that typeface, Not a bad design but nothing really special about it either
-
Tore Larsen commented:Thank you for the comment Analise. I have self seen that the gradient is to hight in contrast. That I will work more with. The typeface name is "Lucida Sans Unicode".

Youth Chorus Website
1 VoteI think the huge header is effective if you give us something more worthwhile to look at, this header though busy has no real substance. The gradients for the Connections side bar is way way too much, subtlety will do you better. I think you could have more fun with the footer. Besides that I think the colors are very very appealing
-
Brian Caicco commented:Hey Analise, thanks for the feedback. The soul purpose of the header is just for wow factor. Not really for function. The site is aimed to draw potential chorus members in through the use of complex graphics. The chorus members come from a younger demographic. Mostly around 14-18. Some as young as 12.

My Logo
0 VotesI agree about the monster adding too much weight and the texture, however something to consider is spelling of the brand and remembrance, you want something that is easy to spell and remember. I'm not sure what country you are in so this may or may not be an issue for you

Perfect Love - Album Cover
0 VotesI am a big big fan of the typography, don't you dare change it. I don't know if this is intentional but the colors give off a reggae, rastafarian feel, maybe that just might be because of my experiences, so if that is not an impression you are willing to give maybe replacing the green with blue would make a more heavenly effect. In any case, I have no qualms, very appealing.

New Design and Logo for IEZ
0 Votesbut nothing really makes it stand out either. Be careful with changing things users are used to, most logos for sites are on the upper left but that's not really a good or bad thing. I like the way the content is separated, everything in the footer seems like it belongs there. All in all good start.

Lamp Recycling Print Ad
2 VotesThis is very well done and engaging. The colors are friendly without being typical, my one and only issue is that while the monster is very clear, the shadow on the left made me think scissors before clock. Perhaps make the different lengths of the bars more apparent. Also the highlight on the trash can may be a little bright, I think that is what's causing it to look like it doesnt belong
-
Amy Feger commented:I had the same problem as Analise...First, I had no idea what the first shadow was and then I thought scissors...it wasn't till' after I read the first post that I was stunned to see that the shadow was implying the clock. So, I agree with that shadow rework, as well as, on the front of the barrel.
I'm not sure, yet should you use an "and" between "first" and "convenient" in that first title since there are less than three things referred to and we're not in the middle of some big term paper?
Overall, I love the monster and all that has been done in this piece.

"I can't choose!" - World Surf Logo
0 VotesI agree that the top one is better and the black text definitely needs to change. As Mark said try not to be so literal with your interpretation. Also, perhaps a wave that was closer to crashing would be more appealing. I would like to see more text integration opposed to the two separate elements.
Hey Analise, thanks for reviewing my concept! Well about the text - I really can't tell, I mean: people read long articles on news sites too. The amount is also needed for search engines to love me ;-) But I completely agree on the other point you mentioned about the typefaces and the general colourfulness of it - there's no good fit between the top (image) and the bottom (content) section, I realize now I need to rework the top sections.
