Default Portfolio site critique

I'm rehabbing my site and want to get your general critique.

Still in development:
* Blog
* Full-size images linked from thumbnails
* Descriptive texts in the right sidebars

What do you think?

Thanks,

Diana

I like the cleanness of it but the text is just a little too small for me

I agree with the text. I think you need to just work out each area of the front page and then define it better.

Thanks for your feedback. I wasn't too sure about going that small on text. I've upped the size and widened the right sidebar a smidge.

Yeah, looks good! The simplicity of it really helps your "Latest Design Projects" stand out. Maybe to help separate it visually a bit more, what if you made that right column text gray instead of black? That might just be a personal preference.

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!

looks good, I like the simplicity and cleanliness of 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 personally don't like the logo and i don't get why there's a bow + arrow coming from her eyes.
It reminds me of this:
