    Question Personal tastes

    I know creativity is one of those things that depends on an individual's personal taste - I seem to be having a problem as a designer regarding what the client wants and what I personally prefer... (even though I am my own biggest critic...)

    Just for interest's sake, please tell me which of these versions of the same site that you prefer? Talking about background mainly...

    Re: Personal tastes

    Hi Natz
    I like Link 1. Link 2 is a bit busy for my taste.

    Link 1 for sure does not distract from the subject and content

    Re: Personal tastes

    I agree with you guys.

    I personally think the first one is a bit more classier. It is what I gave her as an option and she did like it and then came back asking for plenty more green, blue and purple flowers down the sides and top rather and now she is over the moon with it (*shudder*).

    I doubt I am going to put it into my personal portfolio though, feel a bit embarrassed really... not easy being a designer sometimes...

    Natz - the second one isn't terrible. It still looks good - just a little too much. I love the "scrapbook" style you've used.

    Re: Personal tastes

    Put both in your profile with the comment that the second one was what the customer requested. That way anyone who sees it that likes that sort of thing will keep you in mind for any work they might want done.

    I prefer the first one though.
    Confidence makes you more glamorous than all the jewelry in the world.

    Re: Personal tastes

    Have to agree with the majority... number one is far better. Second one to me is a bit kitchy..., too busy lizzie sort of thing...

    Re: Personal tastes

    Mmmm spoke to her on the phone earlier and dropped a little "are you sure it isn't looking too busy"? hint, but it apparently it is the best thing ever and she is madly in love with it as it is.
