I'm graduating LSU in December and want a nice place to host my work when it comes to job searching. How do y'all feel about this one? And perhaps the work overall.

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

You've got a simple, clean, well thought-out design, nice color scheme.

That said, you've got a showstopper in IE7. Your right sidebar content is getting bumped out of the right side of your container.

I'm having trouble with the background image detracting from your work on your front page identity pieces. A plain white background would show off your work well. Add some sort of border to define the space if you like.

I have a small suggestion to enhance your design. You have a nice eye line from your email address box down through your sidebar. Try centering your domain name at the bottom in the width of the sidebar column to tighten it up.

Good job, Jason. As they say in the theater, break a leg.

I really like the design, the colors are great and it's layed out very well, the only 2 things that bother me are the 'graphic design etc' seems too close to the title for my liking also I can't see the reason to have a link to the same page at the foot.

Seems nice, but I do wonder why you've got a factory image behind each identity piece?

likethegoddess: IE6 and 7 fixes will be updated shortly. It was a very simple margin issue. Also, I will take try your recommendations and see how they look.

toon: I have been meaning to make the bottom link area a duplicate main nav. The site link is there for some filler text. Good call tho. And the line height on my logo could be too small. I'll widen it and see how that looks.

zumojuice: The factory is a photograph of mine that I wanted to incorporate into the site. I'm not sure if it interferes too much with the foreground designs to warrant its removal. What do you think?
