I designed my website to look like a chat log

Your logos are quite good but I don’t like the styling of the chat page. It makes me question the quality of the other design work. That may just be my personal style tastes, though. But on my phone, it is quite large and uncomfortable to scroll through, with awkward “UI” styling. I would imagine it might work a little better if the style were a bit closer to Android or iOS SMS, or telegram messaging UIs. I personally would find a simple IRC client style UI appealing but that’s not everyone.

I mentioned this in another comment but I don’t think UI and logo design skills are the same thing. The author is obviously talented at logo design. I appreciate going out of their comfort zone and doing some UI design. That’s the necessary precondition for improving anyways.

Yes, but they are both “design” so of course it’s going to reflect on the product offering. Nothing wrong with criticizing what is offered for review. It is just a fact.
