Website design

[veckd]

Alright well I am nearly finished with my website / blog. Its main focus is web and graphic design and programming. I am about 70% complete and wanted to know what everyone thought of it. I am going for a simple and modern type layout. Please give your honest opinion and things for me to improve upon. Thanks in advance.

*Please Note* the bar with the navigation on top and the bottom bar will extend across the screen and the content area will be fluid not fixed [everything will stay in line though].

I dig the layout

Yea, nice layout and I like the contrast of the flourescent green and grey.

The huge verticle text at the side is a bit off putting though and seems a bit out of place and unbalances the layout. Similarly, the decapitated head at the top right doesn't really work. It looks thrown on because it has no stylistic or colour relationship with the rest of the site. What is its purpose?

Finally, at the bottom of the page on the 3D Bar, the [V3] logo that sits on a dark background looks un-natural. Because the bar is 3D, that dark bit would suggest a dip in the surface, but there are no shadowed or highlighted edges to further suggest it.

Aside from that nice clean layout. The blog area looks very neat.
