Revamped web portfolio

[PHPete]

I recently revamped my portfolio.

It's HTML5 valid. The CSS is NOT valid because I'm using rounded corners and transitions.

The image gallery is pure CSS.

 

Overall, I'm happy with it.

Right now I don't have a lot to show, but I'm currently working with a client, so I AM doing work.

The logo looks good, but I would use a CSS image replacement technique to provide a smoother version as the text looks grainy. The four context areas I would add a little more spacing, improve the font and try to make it fit better into the theme. A better choice of colours I think would greatly help, which you can use a colour scheme generator like Adobe Kuler to find colours that will fit with your dark theme. It just looks a little out of place at the moment.

 

The images that pop-out take up far too much room in their normal state. I didn't even realise there was more to the page until I scrolled down by accident! The "Who am I?" text seems to follow a slightly different theme to the header, so again I'd just experiment a little with some colours and find out what works.

 

All in all though, it's a promising start.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, Adam.

 

I'd rather keep the text as it is, simply because I want to use as few images as possible.

 

As for adding more spacing between the four context areas, I can't really. It JUST fits on my1024x768 resolution, although I suppose I can try with fluid widths.

 

I'm going to re-think the colour scheme, the colours there were honestly just hastily thrown in as I tried to make it less dull.

 

I'll also see about reducing the image sizes.

 

Again, thanks a lot for the reply.
