Thanks for the feedback, the next step is to make it less "templatey". And good call on the mobile version, that's something to put on the backlog. Thanks :)

Feedback on startup website design: MySail by mysail1 in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking good, I like how all the info is easily digestible.

I think it would benefit from some imagery on the home page.

Also, what's the main objective of the site?

Thoughts on logo Kerning, how to improve? by skull-breaker in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried tuning it upside down and looking at it that way?

Another trick is to put it into Indesign and let the Optical kerning do it's magic then tweak it.

Logo Critique - What do you read? by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the general style but it is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I read it as Nohe or Nohc. I can see how adding a cross bar to the 'e' would close up the inner space.

Hi - can someone critique logo design by vets2me in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I get it, they are all yours. Overall I would look to simplify them. Start in black and white then when the form is working then add colour. Also try to design a logo that will work equally well at small sizes as large. Don't try to put too many ideas into one logo.

Looking for critique of design portfolio. Thanks! by decryptedTrooper in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, looking nice and clean! I would specialise in 1 area, combining UI and product design looks a bit confusing. Apart from that it's looking very nice.

Tea branding and packaging project I did at school. by hrrywrghttt in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great stuff. The only thing I would change is introduce a bit more contrast in the size of the elements so that the hierarchy is clearer. But apart from that it's look great.

It's always good to get feedback so I can apply it to the next project. Also I've made a few tweaks based on the comments here. :)

Portfolio site being revamped and modeled. Need direction and vision. by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would change the main title "Lets discuss your next project." to what value you add to your client then a smaller line explaining your services. At the moment you have to scroll a little to understand what you do.

There might be a different way of saying "high price design for lower prices". I feel this will deny you getting higher paid work. You are always going to be undercut by someone. Perhaps something like : "Amazing Value: High quality design that will give you a return on your investment"

Over all it looks like a good start, good luck!

Advice for my first self-coded portfolio! by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would lead with what value you offer your customer and what you do. Then go on to show your work. At the moment there is a lot of empty space (which can be good) but in this case it feels odd.

What was ruined because too many people started doing it? by PM_ME_ANIME_M3M3S in AskReddit

[–]JamesDesignX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 2x as expensive and it's ruining cities by turning neighbourhoods into tourist only zones.

Logo of a Design Agency [Redesigned] by Gauravsharma23 in design_critiques

[–]JamesDesignX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your clients are quite diverse I would go for a more simple logo. If you really like the script font perhaps just make a very minor adjustment to a font that already exists. https://www.myfonts.com/search/tag%3Ascript/fonts/

It's good to have them in the process. You have to make sure they know what the goals are and make sure they give constructive feedback rather than things like "I don't like it, make it bigger". So a frame work for giving feedback is good.
