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.

yes but you don't get that impression as soon as you open the site. it looked like a blog to me when i opened it. it doesn't say it's a portfolio for someone or anything like that.

maybe i'm being picky but that's just my opinion of course
