Portfolio site critique

[PosterManiac]

Clean design. Red and black combo works well. But I think its far from complete. Would love to see more colour in the site. Also, like others have said, increase the text size

It reminds me of this:

I'll sheepishly admit I thought the same... I just wasn't sure how to voice my opinion about it. So, like the namby-pamby I am, I waited until someone else brought it up.

Thanks for the critique!

Although I'm thinking it might be nice to add a touch of color or other visual sparkle to it. Not a lot, mind you. But just a little something that might make it a bit more memorable.

Good work!

I agree with adding a bit more space around the "Latest Design Projects". It's something I was thinking about as well. I'll try on the gray and see how it is.

I have some ideas for more color in the next iteration. Thanks for recommending it.

i have a couple of small suggestions

I would work on the hover effect for the top-nav, it's a bit too pale, i had to go (h)over it a a couple of times to see if there was something happening, also the font size is too small makes it really hard to read in firefox and in IE well it does what IE does and makes your text even smaller....ah IE...

good work, the sites, you've done look real nice too

I was trying to be subtle with that aspect and wondering if I was being *too* subtle. I'll amp it up and see how it goes.

Also, I speced the type in ems, so there shouldn't (*shouldn't*) be a resizing issue.

Great graphic. The point of the logo, excuse the pun, was to exemplify vision, accuracy, reaching goals...

Like I mentioned above, there's more color and imagery to come. This is the first interation to make sure the layout and typography are solid.

Thanks again for the crit!
