Just got my portfolio site up and running. It has a minimalistic theme to it, because I dont like all those fancy graphics and all. Well post any comments you have on it.

Doesn't it seem a bit plain? I mean, you don't really have any graphics on there at all... there header is just a white rectangle - Are you planning to put more graphics like headers, buttons etc. on there?

By the look of things, you've still got a way to go.

im working on a header, but thats really the only graphic ill have, i dont like a lot of graphics just plain simple designs and im also not really good at graphics so i tend to stray away from to many graphics...

just want to know why no one ever replies to my posts ;)

I like the idea, but i agree with bug, it might need somethin to spice it up a bit... and also maybe center it?? i have a big res, and it looks quite small up there in the corner, and you dont have to put a lot of graphix to meke it look nice.. there are some examples round here, but i think you could figure out something to make it stand out more. Keep it up....

Wow, that is a really small, spindly layout. ;) And yes, it is really plain. I can't really say much, other than iterate what bug and mrblack said: include some images, and expand the size of the layout. Good luck.

By the way, I'm using a 1024x768 resolution.

Your layout it's to plain and your not taking full advantage of the space available.

Im on 1920x1200.... i know its not common, but just to let you know, that in this res, it looks really small and its just on the left, so on full screen it really looks like a waste of space... conerning the suggestions, i would try to play a bit more with a scale of blue... different tones of it, here and there, and in general, think of another contetnt distribution...
