Web Tutorials, Pros and Cons.

   The first tutorial I completed was the one titled, "Urban Layout Perfect for Web Design Company." Overall, I thought the concept was phenomenal that's why I originally chose this one. There were definitely some things I found confusing and annoying. There were no size specifications on anything. They provided the photograph they used on the dashboard, but didn't specify what size it needed to be to fit the upcoming format. Also, I didn't like that I had to download three different brushes, some of which the creator didn't even use. The creator also didn't specify which brushes they used for different parts. I understood why the author said they couldn't show the way they used the brushes but it would've been nice to know which brushes they used. 
   I ran into a lot of problems with the format and placement of objects. To the left is my finished product. I really like the idea and the concept, but when I tried to enter the body information it was so tight in the format it did not look right. Although, I did like how open-ended it was, it made it infinitely easier to personalize it.
  

   The second tutorial I completed was the one titled, "3d Design Studio in photoshop." I absolutely loved this tutorial. It was really similar to the Urban tutorial. 

I liked this one so much better because I only had to download ONE brush. Instead of three. 

  In addition to, they explained in detail parts that NEEDED to be explained in detail. 

  I also liked that they didn't include the image. At first, it annoyed me, but after searching for images i realized how much I liked that aspect. 

  Once again, I just really liked how much room they left for personalization.    

   The third tutorial I completed was the one titled, "Design a Cool Portfolio Web Layout." As I was going through the steps I ran into similar problems as mentioned in the first one. Although they gave specific parameters as to the document size, I was lost on the size of the shapes.  

  I am big on personlization if you haven't noticed, this one didn't leave much on personlization for coloring. I became very confusing to me after I started to change the colors to the ones that I wanted. 

  The specifications I thought, were not in the right places. What I mean by that is, the author specified colors but not sizes or placement on the shape. They also didn't specify the font size. 

  I really liked the idea of displaying recent work done with the circles. I think that it helps the viewer to get a quick glance of what I have done as a designer without having to click through pages of work. 

Overall, I liked all of the tutorials. They are really great design ideas.
