Critique week

#1 Lorena Alcala

-The photograph when I clicked on your website that led me to your home page is stunning, high quality, and your typeface and design go well with it, as well as the colors.

-I love your style in general too, your pictures are crisp, and I like that you put captions to go along with them too.

-I feel like everything on your page is organized and is where it’s supposed to be, you didn’t put anything unnecessary or confusing, it’s straight to the point, and not hard to navigate which I find great!

-Maybe the buttons on the bottom are a bit too small? The ones on the home page. I think they look good small like that, though. I love the contrast, maybe the buttons could be a tad bit bigger.

-I’d also like to know more about the pictures you took, maybe a brief, couple of sentences would capture your audience more!

-Also, in addition to your captions, I was advised to put a small, brief statement to encapsulate your 3 sections, I feel like it would capture a lot more than just a phrase, but if that’s your style, then keep it!

#2 Victoria Medina

-First of all, I love your style! I like how you render your characters, and the bold outlines and line weight. I also love how you stylize your characters’ eyes and they are recognizable throughout your works.

-I like the format of your site, it isn’t cluttered, and I feel like everything’s in its place. Also, your images are of good quality.

-The dark color scheme fits well with your themes I think, and does not distract from your work at all.

-I know it's hard to make a cohesive website, there's a lot to take note of, and you should probably get rid of those default images the website gives you! I feel it would help a lot.

-I like how you gave descriptions for your concept design sections, I’d like to read more about your other works, maybe add a few sentences there too?

-I feel like it helps if there are both images and words on each tab, and you can do that on your about page to help your audience put a face to your name!

#3 Lana Mizumoto

-I like the color scheme you chose for your page! The pink color is cute and goes with your style, I like that it complements the brighter pink on your logo too.

-Your comic is so cute and funny, haha. I like your style (or lack of style) and rendering, it looks so clean, and I can grasp the story only by reading a few pages.

-As you said, I like how your art style changes with mood and materials, the traditional drawing is so neat too. I also liked how you organized your work on the pages.

-I would like to read more about your work, though. I feel like if you add a few sentences of your process, materials, or what the ideas behind them were, it would strengthen your portfolio a lot.

-I would also like to read more about your process, your pages are lacking a bit of writing and descriptions, it would help a lot if at the top of your pages, you wrote about your process in general when illustrating, etc.

-I know it was hard to add 3 new pieces to your pages every week, but filling them out does make your portfolio look better! Even if just a few more on your concept design tab.

#4 Marceline Salazar

-Right off the bat, I love your home page! The patchwork aesthetic and everything already put me in a mood. The combo of colors doesn’t confuse me either, I like your Sona icon too, it's cute.

-Your color schemes on your work are amazing and harmonious too, that’s one thing that stood out to me when I looked at them

-Overall, I like how organized and personalized your page looks, it doesn’t have any empty areas and looks pretty finished to me

-I don’t have many criticisms, though I am curious about your work, and would love to see a bit of descriptions for them

-I wasn't able to find a way to do it on mine, but if you could insert a way to zoom in and look closely at the details on your work that would be cool

-I feel like since your other pages have images, your contact page looks a bit empty! Maybe putting something in the background could help?
