Day11 Mar-16
Today I got feedback from the supervisors, they said my idea is fine but it does make the first half of the template very messy. The variety of colors on the page made the image and the font less visible, they suggest reducing some of the colors and making the total color appear no more than 2-3. And some little adjustments are required for the watch section. They also provided me with the designer’s version for me to get some inspiration, when I had it open, It is found they went with a completely different way of designing. They went with shapes, cropped images, and patterns, meanwhile, Im still sticking with gradients and depth. Although the design inspired me, I still want to try to make the depth and gradient work.
Therefore, I hid all the blurred backgrounds to start with. resulting in the top half section being black now. But I’m a bit lost with the variety of the images so I took a pause and started to browse similar posts to find inspiration. After some browsing, I found this article.

It had a similar design to my desired look, so I decided to start making revolving this article. I added little blurred background and added some smoke effect in the background for some depth, with a bit of rearranging it seemed more natural to me.
With the watch part, I decided to try and mimic the designer’s design, while maintaining it to my style.
The work was barely finished at the end of the day, so I submitted my improved version for some feedback, and think to take the weekend thinking how could it be designed differently next time.
