Comments:
- the overall design is organized and consistent; the very dark background is cool and mysterious; could go a bit lighter with the bg images and still retain clear contrast; with just a bit more light bright elements (white) would pop more
- overall contrast is clear; could be wider range
- composition is well organized with very compact header
- effective use of images in the header, content and background areas
- logo/title is pretty good, straight forward; but ‘recordings’ could be smaller relatively
- typography is unified/consistent; size, style, spacing, number of fonts
- very good work putting in the live text, and formatting with css styles throughout
- project folder is complete and well organized; all in the right places
- 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)
- page identification well defined in page titles and integrated in the navigation
- excellent effort and result
