。Combining concept and feeling into design
I'm thinking about colourful and fun, so spring jumper giving me my feeling. Students and creating art also giving me the same feeling. Therefore, my concept is base on cordiality and jump. Students from creative art always open-armed to present their work and always having fun while creating.

= Concept Investigation =

。Cherill's DL Design
Cherill's concept and feeling is innovative, Excitement and fresh. I think the colour of background has delivered fresh. And also the orange colour is the new fashion colour in this couple years. Squeegee juice is very good idea like art students squeezing ideas. And also squeegee feeling fun!

。Paul's DL Design
Paul's main concept is energy. I think his design is very professional. The fire light feel like life and electrical. And also really meet the concept of simplicity.

。 Katelyn's DL Design
Katelyn's main concept and feeling is passion. The colour that she choice meet the concept in totally. The arrangement of those maple leaves are pretty also feeling romantic. The top blur snowing actually giving a lot of imaginary space. The colour of the word are good, but too similar colour hue with background. Maybe a bit contrast will be better for reading it.

These 2 website are DL design company. There are a lot of professional DL design for us as reference. I like the dl-web much more because they got much more different look of design ideas. I won't say any design ugly, because all design presenting designer's personality. I'll just say: it's not my area.
