Ive had no internet and too many things happened at once. sorry. Heres my prelim.

Hi Mars,

I really like your first set of designs. I think the blue color scheme you have is really working well! I also like the frame in your design. If I were to change one thing I would probably take the stroke off your body-copy text and just leave it with a fill.

Hi! I love the designs with the blue color scheme. The dark green is a nice color but it makes everything else a bit harder to read. I also like the swirls in the background, they are really playful! Good luck, and I cant wait to see the finished site when its done

Mars, I like the first design, and if you go with that, even though cursive lends a classy touch, more and more people cannot read cursive, so perhaps you may need to consider audience and go with 2nd font. I really like your thumbnails you posted.The old green really works for me. I know you will be sure to keep your text inside the frames.Your Oregon Festival image is perfect!

Hi! Good work on the two styles you have going on, I think it's up to you what you want to choose. Maybe play around with the fonts, I think that having too much cursive can look nice and pretty but also strain the reader's eyes.

Hi Mars!
I love this concept! All the ornate detailing is so pretty on both layouts and the typefaces work so well within it. I think the second green layout is popping more for me, and the body copy is a tiny bit more legible than the script on the first layout. Both look great though, excited to see the final!

Hi Mars! I didn't know Oregon had a Shakespeare festival, but it does make sense with all the scenery there. I like the color scheme and nav font. The yellow is kinda hard to read with the white stroke on it, along with the cursive. Some other font that looks old but is legible would look great there as a replacement. I like the green layout a bit more because it feels more like Shakespeare in Oregon than the blue. The ornate details make a difference and are a nice element you repeat on your pages. Overall, great work!

Hi Mars. Interesting event choice. I like the framing design elements in the background. Having stacked navigation menu items might be a bit confusing for users, maybe sticking to a slightly more traditional menu style would be best. Adding a secondary accent color would really help this design more as well. Maybe orange? Anything warmer
Good stuff!
