Comments:
- the overall background is interesting with high contrast black in front; need a more interesting logo title and navigation; like the idea of the bold geometric shapes; could follow that theme more fully with geometric style font such as futura medium or gill sans
- overall contrast is clear but the background is more interesting than the foreground elements on some of the pages
- large bg image fills browser window well; like the about page best with the large area of black
- the ideas could be refined and coordinated more
- images could be integrated/utilized more effectively
- logo/title could be more developed/distinctive; needs to identify clearly
- typography could be more unified/consistent; sans serif font would be better; try gill sans light italic
- good work putting in the live text, and formatting with css styles
- live text is not included in the footer or in the content
- project folder is not quite complete and organized; research to go in extras; should have a site folder with the images and html inside it
- div layout structure and corresponding css styles are complete
- links (a href=) are all working; references in the code match file names (including capitalization)
- image source references (img src=) are all correct; the code matches file names “folder/file” (including capitalization)
- did not find actual heading and paragraph elements with corresponding styles; did find div elements with styles for this purpose
- page identification is not defined in page titles, headings but patially integrated in the navigation
- page titles should include the “site name” and the “page name”
- good work but missed a few things
