Isaac Lee
Hello Isaac! I remember you from last semester's wood class so I am glad to see your work. I think that your website is great and clearly defines your work without complication. I previously said in a zoom meeting that Mototear feels like a company name and I want to expand more on that. I think that it would be better to have your name for the website because it is more personal with showing your own work instead of functioning like social media where Mototear would fit perfectly as a youtube channel, instagram, and etc. Other than that, it is up to you. Regarding the website itself, there are only a few things that could use some tuning or consideration. In the contacts page, it is a little hard to see the black text at the top so you might want to add a solid light color behind them. This is a little nitpicky thing I learned from typography, but you might want to consider editing your paragraphs to remove the widows at the end. Widows are the single word that appear alone at the end of the paragraph. It is just a small thing to make the paragraph feel nice.
Angello Zozaya
Hi Angello, I can understand a need for a solid white background to contrast the designs full of color. I really love the coffee mockups. I think that you should make more use of the empty space to size up your photos and give breathing room to each work. Everything on the home page is on the left with nothing much on the right. I think the Packaging page could be like the Print page to distinguish each work and the text that goes with them. Having text for one work right next to a different work could be a little confusing at first sight.
Carole Page
Hi Carole, I think you have a pretty good layout for your website. You probably have gotten this feedback before, but it is the main thing I see for critique. The home page is empty and the white area at the center made me think something was loading, but in reality its just part of the design haha. You'll want your work to show up right at the beginning. I imagine you had plans for this, but it would be nice to see text about the animations and designs. I think one of the best parts about designing characters is where you get your inspiration and ideas from and what some of the design elements represent. Same thing with what you animate; add in details about what you were practicing or experimenting with, any influences, and what is being told in animation.
Ashely Loyola
Hello Ashely, your drawings are amazing! I really love the motion and exaggeration of the wings on the characters. I'm wondering if you created your website through mobile since it is mainly in a vertical position. I'm sure you got this feedback before and heard it on zoom about other sites that you need your art at the very start of the page. In terms of scanning through the website, it is a little confusing with everything being on one single page.
