4. Re-design # 1
 Very appropriate for
high school audience
 Well-balanced, very
explicit and eye-
catching design
 Easy to navigate once it
becomes a webpage
Design highlights
 Asymmetrical balance with
geometric forms
 Unity is achieved by repetition of
color and graphics
 Typography (sans-serif) is used
consistently throughout the
design
 The graphics with the kids’
marching band is very
appropriate and makes the
design lively and non-traditional
 The organic semi-transparent
graphic element with the music
notes highlights the main idea
and turns the design into a
dynamic one

6. Re-design # 2
 Stylish well-balanced
design
 Not as explicit as the first
one, but the music motifs
evoke the expectation of
the coming music event
 Easy to navigate once it
becomes a webpage
Design highlights
 Approximate horizontal symmetry
 Unity is achieved by repetition of
the orange color and the music
motifs
 Typography (sans-serif) is used
consistently throughout the
design
 More conservative design in
grey-orange color scheme as the
orange color makes it vibrant,
remarkable and memorable
 The organic semi-transparent
floral graphic element with the
music notes makes the design
dynamic, more fluid and less
traditional
