Which Stands Out More?

[Former_Member]

I have designed these two listings to advertise my product photography, and I am not sure which works best. I would love some advice!! I really want it to stand out on the page when you search "product photography." What do you think about the colors, the font, the design?

These are the two listings I am working with. I am open to changing them both, so feel free to critique! The first has a little more color, but I am still not sure.

I like the first one. To me, it's more attention grabbing....at least it caught my attention first...

I like the second one :)

hmmm, it's a split! Need more opinions!!!

It was a hard choice, but I like the second one.

I find the first more inviting- I always go for the softer approach. Also, on my monitor, the text is cut off in the second listing.

I like the first one :)

The angled writing of the first one grabs my attention, along with the pop of green. I was thinking you could put the writing in a different shaped banner though, instead of the plain rectangle - a vintage curvy shape like on of these might look cool & add an extra professional edge - & then you'd see more of the photo detail all around the edges.

I like the first one :)

I like the first one also

I like the first one except I had the tendency to try to see "through" the banner to the product. Maybe make a slightly more opaque? Some one else mentioned that #2 lettering goes off the edge on her monitor, it does on mine two!

I like the first one as well. The font size seems to be perfect -- not too large or small.

I like the second one providing the text is fixed so it's doesn't get cut off on the sides.

[Former_Member]

I like the 1st one. I think the fact that the items in the background are level and the text is slanted slightly upwards is a nice effect.

The 2nd one makes me feel a little unsettled; as if the objects in the background are going to slide off a table or something. Plus for my computer as well, the text is cut off.

Good luck. :)

Everything I was going to comment about preferring photo # 1 was already written by Melinda K from SoakArt. So here's another vote for photo #1 and an echo of Melinda's feedback. :-)

[gleaned]

first one for me!

[Former_Member]

Def the first one. Best of luck!

[Former_Member]

Awesome! It seems that the 1st one has the vote. I may edit it a little though with some of your recommendations! Thanks everyone so much.

First one beyond a doubt. Diagonal elements are visually compelling.

[seemomster]

First one is more effective.

[Former_Member]

Thanks for the responses. I did some editing. Now which do you prefer??

I prefer the second. It looks brighter and less fussy to me.

[Former_Member]

I think I agree with you... I am not sure about the shape on the first one. Might be a little too cutsie.

[StuckOnSilver]

I like the first one. I would like the price of the second if there was a free photo involved a la buy four and get the fifth half-price...

[CatherineMarissa]

I think the first shape clutters the thumbnail while the second one has some interest to it, but the minimalism makes it "pop" off the screen more (at least for me ;) ).
