Comments: heavy on the blue (very typical of campaign sites). A bit bland. OK spot illustrations.
Comments: Even heavier on the blue -- too much! Content a bit sparser.
Comments: Closest of these campaign sites to a look and feel that I'd like for onlineprimary.us. Good use of neutral colors, subtle gradients.
Comments: A bit dark and somber. Doesn't seem to use a strict grid.
Comments: Incorporates red-white-blue, but subtle about it. A tiny bit busy.
Comments: Swings toward the red rather than blue end. Most serif-y of the bunch.
Comments: An exemplar of the "Web 2.0" look. A bit to far toward the light and austere for onlineprimary.us.
Comments: An example of the three-block style. Generally inline with the feel I'm looking for for onlineprimary.us, though the colors are a bit gaudy.
Comments: Another archetypal "Web 2.0" look. Just a bit on the casual and light side for onlineprimary.us, but in the right ballpark for clarity and simplicity.
Comments: Clean, clear, simple. Less dense on content that onlineprimary.us will be, and color palette may be a bit light, but the spirit is right.
Comments: Another clean, simple look. Good use of color with type.
