draft and final designs of my website homepage

The bottom image is a a further development from below, we were told to make the website we would want to visit and although I really like like the simplistic designs, I think I needed to create something that really stands out, and so wanted to re-create the business of london within my page. 

This is my final design. When I ask for peoples opinions they though the lower one had to much going on, it was hard to focus and that was before the text! so I've modernised it by adding the track (idea from the underground) and making the illustrations at the bottom smaller, Im pleased with the design, but if the brief was longer I would of liked to of created my own typography for it.
