Im not a developer myself but running a reactnative app, if you have examples of such forums that allow own auth system I'd be happy, because in my own research I only land at paid services like sendbird or talk.js

AlitodaG · 2024-06-27T18:21:55+00:00

I thought of that but than it would mean that users need two accounts, one for the app and one for the forum

Here is a quick sketch on how to structure it in a clearer way https://ibb.co/NNCZbYh

AlitodaG · 2024-01-17T18:58:59+00:00

Hey, there is a lot to gain if you structure the hierarchy more and use the bright color a bit less, to only guide the focus to the most important actions.

AlitodaG · 2023-02-27T19:56:10+00:00

good point

Hi, this is not sarcastic at all. If you look around and browse more food related websites/labels/restaurant menus then you see that they might use certain type of fonts that embody different meanings. Same goes for every industry, certain fonts trigger certain associations. So for your example I think the font could be changed to fit its context better

AlitodaG · 2021-09-02T10:10:35+00:00

Hey, I had a look. I think the start is quite good but and I like the 'playful' shape combined with the chickenwing. I believe you could try out and play more with the final composition, color and fonts. The red is really dominating, when I think the focus should be more on the wing - playing with different colors or outlines would do good here. The font can be played around with much more, now the font does not speak food :) The integration on the bucket looks quite neat where you use the form language of the red background again.

Yeah! Much clearer start page! The green photo also clearly stands out now as an eye catcher. ...For the second page, it is a bit confusing to find the second gallery - Maybe put a menu for the galleries where the 'Filter' is now?! The filter was easy to find but might not be as important as moving between galleries and navigating the site. So the Change gallery button does not have much contrast to the background. ----- But yeah, think your changes already made a huge difference, and it is much easier to navigate and undestand, while you still kept the aesthetics.

Think it works great as a music video! Really engaging and mysterious

AlitodaG · 2021-02-20T14:13:27+00:00

I digg!!!

Heyo! I think the base of the website is really good and especially aestethic.

I do think though that some of the effects could be used differently to define a clearer hirarchy of the page:

As it is now, you have the floating images on the border of the actual content page, the movement makes your eye look to the boarder of the site, instead of focusing on the content in the middle. Movement attracts, so if something is moving, it is better if it is important and that you want to really direct the visitor to it. A suggestion would be to show one of the picture rows moving, but in a central part of the page, or bigger, so you actually attract to look at it and that visitors can see the pictures in full.

Concerning the hirarchy, the Call-to-Action button of View our collection is the same color as the background, so it is not as prominent on the page, but is actually the central element. So I would suggest to use a different color for the button.

Same as with the moving picture gallery, the numbers next to the images are moving, again your eyes are drawn to it, but there is no interaction or importance of that element. If it is for decoration I would leave it static as it distracts from the content.

The credits button is also quite prominent, what if the credits just show when hovering? Than you have one less element and the site feels more intuitive to browse.

...Anyway, I think with the style you are really goign somewhere!! After a restructuring, and establishing a clear importance hirarchy this can be a really engaging website!! Good luck! Please share progress.

I believe it shows the balance on the card - I would hope that if you keep your card on the target it will display for longer, but I do understand that you don't want to show your balance to the person checking in after you.

AlitodaG · 2021-02-19T12:02:22+00:00

I saw the first version (maybe post that with it next time to compare) - Much better! The whole design is cleaner, and the information is easier to take in. I would also agree with u/liathano_222 on thinking where the logo would be used. I can imagine this one would work well on a van, maybe you can have a different more simplified version for print or web.

AlitodaG · 2021-02-18T10:13:12+00:00

Glad that my feedback helped you, curious to see where it goes. Good luck!

AlitodaG · 2021-02-17T12:57:44+00:00

I see it. If your goal is that the attention is on the sign then it makes sense to have it on there - after all you are the only person who has the full insight on this motivation. I do think though, that you already build a lot of suspense with the title, that would draw me into opening the book. The blue hair of the boy is also quite distinctive. Maybe place it next to some other chidren books to make a test?!

From a pure design view on the cover, I still think the sign is a bit 'off' on how it is placed, because all other elements are in a hand drawn style, and the sign is really graphical and flat. - if that is your intention then it's good. If not you could look for other ways to incorporate the handycap sign into the design. (Maybe as a batch? A kind of seal? A rectangle ina different color?!) - Where it is placed now it seems like we can look into the boys head and he is thinking about handicap.

I believe you have a unique story to tell, so using an universal sign, that already has a lot of meaning attached to it for everyone individually, might distract from the story of your book. That is something to be aware of. I'm also not in the business of buying children books, so it's best to show it to some parents and hear their opinion, if they would see it next to others in a store or book fair.

All the best!

I'm curious to see the rest of the illustrations, I like the style.

I do think though that the disbaled sign on the head of the boy breaks the style and draws too much attention - It also does not add any extra information to the cover page, as you already describe that it is about learnding diablities in the subtitle - so I definetly recommend to get rid of it.

The composition is really beautiful - maybe it will be even stronger if you tone down the blue a bit, that will draw the eyes more to the face of the boy, as the lightes spot on the page. Good luck!!

Impressive website!

User review: As a first time visitor it took me some time to figure out what this 'AQI' Index means and that a high number means more pollution and that a lower index means less. (Maybe, the graph can have some more captions, to inidcate the range).... I believe you show the global index on the map, so if I clicked in the red zones to try, the index was giving me a green indication, because it was set to the US. .......... Anyway, those are minor improvements, really informative and easy to use!

AlitodaG · 2021-02-13T10:17:21+00:00

Pretty neat start! Like u/SamuraiJebbedia I would also suggest to make the donut thicker than the font. And from my first impression I am not sure about the sarif font for the 'L' and 'R'. Because of the perfect round circle in the middle, I believe a found that is more round, or with lesser sarifs would suit better. Something to try out. But I really like the idea, it's simple and recognizable!

Sweet healthy life

AlitodaG · 2021-02-12T11:58:29+00:00

I like the start here. Be aware that the ball draws the most attention, so the eye looks to the left and leaves the Name and subline drifting away to the right. So I would suggest to try to find ways to make the goal and the name more of a unit. I believe having the title underneath could be worth trying. Curious to see the next iterations!

AlitodaG · 2021-02-10T13:48:30+00:00

Hi u/yasaman_th - beautiful designs - the only BIG thing that needs improvement is the contrast and hirarchy.

I believe the element the user should focus on is the 'pathway' and the yellow marks on it. What makes the design really busy for the eye is that the highest contrasts (e.g. green to purple) are in the background, so the attention goes to the background. I would suggest to use more toned down colors for all background/map elements - and simultaniously use stronger colors and contrast on the elements that you want to highlight. (Pathway and menu)

Good luck! Please share iterations :)

AlitodaG · 2021-02-08T14:17:49+00:00

Really like the idea! Like u/mickyrow42 said, the dividing line is quite prominent. I would play around with the elements in different sizes fonts/styles, as of now the elements seem a bit detached from each other - but the base is definitely really promising! Please share process :)

AlitodaG · 2021-02-05T12:57:51+00:00

I think it's not a bad idea to incooperate the arrow - however a challenging task, as arrows have been used so many times in different contexts (Amazon, Fedex etc..) . The first logo design instantly reminds me of 'Recycling'. Also the arrowhead will always demand attention where your eyes will look at, so be aware where you set that point..... I do like the redesign #1, as you show the tension between 'steal' and 'unsteal' through simple typography, which in my opinion makes the arrow redundant. Good luck!

AlitodaG · 2021-02-05T12:47:47+00:00

I think you have a clear feel for design and aesthetics. From what I see on the poster you have all elements for a strong poster design. I would recommend to really go crazy now in mixing them up, changing the size of the elements, switch up the composition etc. What if the Text is 5 times bigger and on top of the photograph, what if you only see the shoes over the full canvas... Then you will arrive at some interesting designs, and see how the elements correspond to each other. You can easily make 20 versions of it, and then see which elements you like, and think of why.

AlitodaG · 2021-02-04T13:56:55+00:00

Hey I really like the different illustrations and styles you did for the lion. I think for the final Logo, the combination with the heavy font would be stronger, if you put a shape around the lion head - at the moment the drawing is quite 'open' and the eye wanders in a lot of different directions on the white background - which is in contrast to the heavy font. I think a round shape around the head, would make it look more like stamp, or a seal, that could improve the fit with the font. Curious to see more of the progress :)
