   I like yours so much!

   Your use of colors is fantastic.

   I really like how you made it look like this.

   Very Professional!

   Beautiful colors and shapes. They all have a feeling of being cropped a bit too close. I want them to have more room to express themselves. Be careful with these colors because when they are photocopied or faxed they may turn into gray mud.

   #1 – Nice shapes. The text is vibrating a bit too much, it’s hard to look at.

   #2 – This is an excellent design but I think it would be stronger if the text were not cropped. It feels like you don’t like the text and are trying to dis it. the central gradient is very 3D and beautiful but watch out when it’s faxed. “DOMINIQUE’ is being dominated by the red of the swoop and it’s very difficult to read. The cropping is making the legibility worse also.

   #3 – The shapes are overpowering the “WEB DESIGN” and “PHOTOGRAPHY”. In particular The “D” in “WEB DESIGN” is being crushed to death. Somehow I don’t mind the same problem with “GRAPHIC DESIGN”. I guess it’s upside down and isn’t meant to be easy to read so I let it go.

   these work so well. the symetry and the angles give a great composition, and the colors complement eachother nicely. very graphic and beautiful

   these are fantastic. i like the top one the best-the font is nice and simple which really balances out the dynamic part of the design, and how you used the text weight to determine hierarchy.
