good layout.
only thing i would change is swap the work thumbnails and the top info so that you see the work first. or if you are happy with what you got just decrease the space (height) of the info section. another thought would be to use some html trickery to collapse and expand the three areas so that everything is instantly viewable.i like it.
- I intended to have it so that when you click on Read More it expands down to show more info. That way what you see above the fold is the intro and also one line of thumbs etc.fodcj
- ... is a small bit of info and one line of thumbs above the fold etc.

Agree with Bluejam on everything he said.
One more small thing - I'm not fond of "Get the ball rolling" in your contact pane - it smacks of that corporate trying-to-be-hip speech that marketing/business types use.
In general, for creative portfolios, I feel like brevity is better. Unless you're a copywriter.
- Get the ball rolling and all the other text is just dummy so will change that once it is coded :Dfodcj
- oh ok (:bigtrickagain

You can go another column wider. I'm on a 15" laptop and you have room.

I'd seriously consider leaving out the arrow on the side in the bottom right section of your logo - space .. it's a bit dated to use that I'd say..
otherwise really simple / clean design .. only thing is that the work is not at the top.. and people are generally more interested in the work rather than some text that might not be too relevant and doesn't have to be read to be able to understand the site.
- but i do really like it overall. It will be really work focussed when that gets some color into it.Jordy

Seems that the general consensus is to shift the text. I do understand this but wanted to create something that was a little different. Maybe if I just reduced the amount of text that would work? The idea is that when you click the 'read more' link under the text it will then expand down to show more so that shouldn't be a problem.
Also, happy to remove that little arrow as it doesn't really serve any purpose.
- Good job!Jordy
- I agree. I feel the text does give it something different. I'm getting a bit bored seeing the same ol grid sites that are popping up everywhereduckseason
- ...everywhere with a list of work on the side, and a grid with work. I say push forward with the top text, just play with it a bitduckseason
- ...to maximize space. This turned out being much longer than anticipated. Sorryduckseason

I like it.
I agree with the general consensus to a degree.
The text doesn't bother me so much; however maybe decrease the space above it so the work below it comes into view more.
Also, I think it was bluejam who suggested using some method to show/hide the text in those sections to potentially gain more space for your work. I agree. Might be something worth looking into.Again, great job.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks for all the feedback. Generally seems positive and with a couple of tweaks will hopefully be well recieved :D
