Gauravjeet Singh on December 6 2014 09:17 UTCNice Design

Hey yash, you are going good, just some few things I could suggest to make it better. 


Try having a light background, the darker version was already done in previous year GCI. And the space between BRL-CAD and tagline at top is very less, give some space there. In logo section where you said that 3d version is available but didn't add 3d version in design, so try to use the some proper 3d version of logo from wiki page that can blend in your design. Also maintain consistent line height of 1.5 in content.

I guess what Gaurav meant was to have a light color such as #fafafa or #eaeaea instead of darker color. We had almost similar submission last year so we would want something different this time.


Thanks!

Yashon December 7 2014 04:56 UTCBackground color

I think background colour does matter in a task like this. In a design cheat sheet, what matters is the content, rather than similarity to some other work. Still, I will submit another one with a light(er) background.

Yashon December 7 2014 04:56 UTC

Does not**

Gauravjeet Singh on December 7 2014 05:02 UTCAlso

Ditto Ishwerdas, by light color I meant something like #fafafa or #eaeaea as background. In addition to that, in the logo section where you have give 3 versions of logo, I would suggest to not to use different background color for each logo, instead just use the logo without any background.

Hey Yash,
At some places there's a white text that you haven't changed after changing background color. Also typography is not that good, there's not much difference between heading and the main text which is disturbing vertical rhythm. Increase line-height to 1.5 (if it's not) and don't be in such a haste. Take your time, look at the task properly, recheck and then submit. 


Thanks!

Yashon December 7 2014 05:53 UTC

How about now? I added a background to headers to make it look different from the text.
