My Thoughts On This Design

This homepage design is cool, however, I wouldn’t say that about the entire site. On the homepage I like the red banner in the middle because it gives it a splash of color. Sometimes using a pop of color on a site can draw attention to certain objects or links. I like to use a pop of color for a call to action item. A call to action could range from “HIRE US” to a “SIGN UP” or even a “DONATE” button. The elements on the edges of the header and footer are also really slick. The little short stripe marks remind me of camera film. I am not sure if that was their intent, but it gave the design some unique depth.

I posted a secondary page not because I like it, but because I wanted to point out how hard it was for me to read. I beg of you to please never design something so hard for users to read. If you kinda feel as your designing that maybe you shouldn’t do it, then listen to your gut feeling. The image in the background has a lot of contrast that the white text above it is hard to read.
