Thanks for the glimpse at your thought processes, too. It’s nice to see that someone else uses the old pen-and-paper method. I’ve enjoyed your content, too. You’ve certainly set the bar high for the rest of us!

Final draft looks more styled. The Title heading pulls attention in a way the other dos not. I like the styled look of the header image, as it makes one think of the uncertain nature of the human dimension in combat.

Like surrounding wrapper of mottled grey on the Fear In Battle page. The different color wrapper directs attention to that which is inside it.

One thought… If you could integrate more images into your final project that are relevant to your text it will help to draw attention through what you are telling.

I really like your design. The header image is great! The finger-paint feel is very evocative, I like it. I do like the second version better than the first. It looks more polished. I have two minor suggestions: (1) in your title image, try aligning the right sides of your two lines of text, or try moving the top line just a little to the left (it seems that they aren’t aligned, but it could be they are but the “O” throws it off a bit; (2) try reversing the red and green in the title, or better yet, make it all red (remember the color-blind accessibilty issue), it feels a little top-heavy. Otherwise, it’s very clean and appealing. Well done.
