Re: prelim pro 3

I think its a good start. One thing I dont care for is the slider looking like a slider. I think it would be much stronger if the user didnt realize it was a huge slider. Integrate it into the page so the content of the page seems like it updates rather than making it look like you just plopped a sl...

Project 3 Soundsystem Comps

So when I got this project I didn't know what inspired me. I use a few websites daily for inspiration but I don't idolize any designers. I have a few developer types that I'm fond of but didn't want to create something that was a shrine to that person or just a recreation of their personal website. ...

Re: Preliminary 1-Tina

I think you should add some wording in there other than a quote. I dont get this is your inspiration when you look at it. I think having some text in there could give some clarity to that. Design wise it up to you.

Re: Project 3 roughs

I think the first set has stronger use of space. The second one has better contrast and uses different imagery where as the first one you would have to find large images that would work as that background which could be problematic. I think you should work on the second one and fix some of the spaci...

Equal Height Columns

Here is an example of how to do equal height columns. Nice little trick that some smart person came up with making the columns super tall with padding then sucking it back up with negative margin all while cropping it with a wrapper div. All in all its super effective with clean markup and css. http...

Re: Project 2 Final

This is probably a bug but having the hover link disappear is not ideal. :) Ok side note on this. It was not loading the images fast enough which is why they do not show up immediately. Make sure the images are at the correct size and are optimized for web. If you have done all that it might have be...

Re: Project 2 Final

I think you may have some errors going on with your site. Sometimes it loads with no menu showing and other times it loads only half the page. Weird stuff is going on.

Re: Project 2 - Final

This is nice. Some of your sprites are a bit off, not sure if that was intentional or not but that is why there are shifts when you hover over the images on the front page. I like the nav effects you have going. I would try to only have the top bar change width and leave the text stationary if you c...

Re: project 2 final

I like what you have done with this site. Couple things I noticed when going through it. You should this about using some standard looking social media links. They all look like they are a different size. Try icomoon.io/app and download some that are maybe wrapped in a circle or something to give th...

Re: The Bug Zapper Company

Nice job. Your call to action to buy your products is too hard to find. It should look more like a button or be more visually prominent since that is the main goal of this site. Great illustration work though. I also like the effect you have going with the header when you scroll down on the shop pag...
