I think this layout definitely has potential. It seems well organized and I like the use of typography. I'm a little unclear about how this one would work, but that may just be due to the fact that these are just static images. Would this layout only support 4 people (one on each spoke)? Or would each person have four spokes for their defines/loves/fears/hates? Also, if the former is true, what would happen when a spoke was clicked? I guess I just need to see a little more as far as how the information will all be presented. Good start though!
I like this design because it attracts your attention without confusing you. And there is enough open space to let your eye rest. My only suggestion is that you pick another image to go inside the cross. Stef's picture makes it seems like the project is about her. Perhaps you could use the group picture that Adream took with my camera? That way it would be clear that the project is about the class and not one person. If you are interested let me know.
I prefer Dave's original map of the museum over this. I think this idea loses the idea of the museum and takes a much more iconic approach with the simple crossed lines to show the rooms of the museum. Plus, I do not think this main nav ties into your content page look that was shown in class. Great job trying something new...but I really liked what you had as your original post for the museum map.
At first glance I was thrown by the bright colors and wish they were a little more subdued. I do like the spoke idea and I think it is a very clear and simple way to navigate (especially after seeing how the cross would be inegrated later in the design on julie and stefanie's). I also don't really enjoy the large type because i feel like the type is compeiting and winning for my attention over the picture in the middle of the cross.
I do agree with Molly and think that the first design was more successful, especially since this one only leaves room for four people and the first one could contain the entire class.
I like that you tried to find a new idea, great job!
Good job coming up with something new, but I preferred the asterisk or david's map symbol as the big unifying object. The main and secondary pages don't seem unified to me right now. I think the layout of this page is succesful but I agree the colors are too bright and the text is too obtrusive.
I still really like David's original museum design...
I am a little confused on how this will be interactive. I like the layout and the colors (why were these chosen?)
You say choose a spoke but I see 4, are we only able to select between 4 students? How do we access others, how do we know how many there are to be accessed?
How does this work with the 2ndary design? What ties them together besides color or the icon of the cross?
I enjoy the simplicity of the design very much; there aren't many elements, yet it's still quite attractive. It reminds me of the game Simon! My only complaint is that it doesn't necessarily remind me of a museum, which isn't a terrible thing, only if you ditch the concept.
I agree that this is the design to go with. I think the typography really carries the design and is great for the main page. But just like in Robin's, I think there should be some kind of Indicator, typographically, as to who they are choosing on the roll over. And like I said about the other layout, in agreement, neither of these really have a museum feel. I would just change that word unless the style drastically changes inside the main pages.
I agree with everyone else, it looks very red cross/cross like. I would increase the height of the horizontal bar and keep the vertical bar thin. I do like this layout a lot, but as adream said, use the colors from stef's. I also like the big red d with the digital designers on the side, but the G from digital drops down too far onto designers and look a little akward to me. You could see how different fonts or sizes might look, or even adjust kerning.

hey.
i think dave's is the one to go with...but using colors from the secondary layout #2...blue and orange...
also i think you might be better suited to a different shape...perhaps you keep the asterik and have only 4 functioning at the moment.
right now that is too red cross or cross-like....

I like it a lot. I think you have a really nice sophistocation in all of you work for our group that really supports the museum idea.
