Thanks for commenting, and for writing the post in the first place! I understand your concern - and just took your name off of all of em.

I suppose if you think about things in general, all design is just words, shapes, and pictures organized in an aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient way. This is a wallpaper, so there's less of the latter. :P

I like it. People who've commented before me seem to have very specific criticisms regarding how your design conveys brand but remember that this is a _redesign_, not an absolute final product to be shipped by the company. and by the way, this is way better than the current site. in the sense that it actually conveys a brand - whereas the original is far more neutral (thanks twitter bootstrap).

functionally, I would try to establish more of a visual hierarchy as you go down the page - the yellow color accent throws me off as I go down and the path that my eye intuitively follows is all over the place.

aesthetically, consider introducing a third accent color (maybe grey?) to round out the gold and white content you've got going on.

nice job!

oh nice!

and re: location - tell me about it, I'm born/raised in Cupertino, CA but am currently freezing in Philadelphia, PA. -_-

byalice··on [dead]
Point taken. Currently in class, let me run out and fix this.
byalice··on [dead]
Thanks!

Are there any other great ones that you've noticed in the past? I've seen a few pop up here and there.

(unrelated but sort of related note: I was in Seattle/Redmond this past summer! Loved the location)

Thanks! ^_^

I think she works @ rdio now (beautiful design too!)

Thanks - that's a really good point, which is why I didn't want to make a general "Oh hey yall you should hire me I can do anything" sort of page, but tried to make it really, really specific (identifying two roles that I could immediately fit into, both platform + photo development). Is there anything that was confusing about that?

And re your last question: idk, I was bored this weekend and wanted to make something cool, which is why I decided to spend time on this instead of a normal resume. :)

Hmmmm thanks for the screenshot - let me try upping the font-size a little bit.

(I'm the creator of this page, Wesley was nice enough to post it! haha)
