Did you look at it on a small resolution at any point when you were designing it? On 1024 x 768 the portfolio images are so low down that they're only half on the screen.

Did you design this at 1280x1024? At 1024x768 your content isn't centered.
Why is there that big block of grey inbetween your nav and your content?
I like the color scheme, but the font chocie is a bit hard to read.

I did it on 1280 by 1024..i must of been crazy..But thanks for the input i'll fix the distances.

in some of the instances where you use pixel fonts, they seem to be anti-aliased where they shouldn't be. makes for a hard to read font.

the font is too hard to read

My take on it is it comes off really uncreative feeling, but you're supposed to be a creative right? A designer and all. The color was cool at first, but became to uniform and boring all to fast. And like they said theirs sizing/spacing issues, along with usability. It just doesn't communicate who you are to me, and the folios a pain on dialup to load each thumbnail and the mouseover etc.... preload maybe? dunno... keep workin at it though, its got potential eh...

i think you need to clean it up UI wise, make it super simple for ppl to access your work. the work should be the focus, the typography on your site is all over the place, think of your site as a project, design it like you would approach a design problem, the solution should be clear, concise and focus on the selling point (your work).

the font is nice but it seems a bit blurry at times. Your logo it's a bit too basic and if you are highlighting your work as a branding guy, then you might want to have something not so easy to produce as your own. :)

hmm... typogrophy is a bit of a mess here... try using a more uniform scheme of typo here... you seem to have just randomely chosen typfaces that are a bit "young" looking. Also, don't use pixel fonts, unless you are going to use them correctly. i also agree with the logo/brand comment somebody made above... your logo is way too "generic", and some of the logos in your portfolio seem to be as well...i like the first one as a graphic (the eye thing), but as a logo/brand mark, that has "no-no" written all over it... keep work though, its a good college portfolio start.

also, re-think the way you are using % tables.... i'm on 16 x 12 resolution, and your logo is all the way on the left, your main content is centered to my screen, and the NAV above is not... so the whole layout is a bit out of whack for me... maybe try designing to like, a 780 pixel width table that is centered in a 100% table cell???? that usually works nicely for me... and your layout will look the same on all resolutions... in other words, only use % to center the table (with the actual site) on the screen, dont use % to house actaul graphics and things...unless used wisely. just a thought
