Some constructive crticism please., Portfolio concept. Options

[DamianJ]

Well I've been messing around with the concept of a portfolio for all my work that i've done in school and on my spare time and this is what I have come up with recently. I just wanted to know what people thought and if there is anything that should be tweaked or changed. I feel like the content part (where the news feed and the artwork are displayed) needs a banner or some sort of header but im not sure...maybe it's better left the way it is. well here it is

^ it's a portfolio site, and sites showcasing portfolio work should be plain and simple, as to make the actual work stand out.

i like the setup (obviously, i'm a minimalist fanwhore). the only thing i'd really complain about is the cursor 'cause i'm not a fan of anything that's not the default cursor ;X

also, opacity of the main layer could be a little opaque; i think the text against the patterned background becomes a little busy.

i think you have a lot of play room. as suggested in above posts, you could try many other different fonts.
