I've designed it so it'd be easy-ish to code (I hope)

 

 

 

Thoughts?

I don't really like how all the pictures are perfectly square and all together like that. It just doesn't look very good.

Ok, any suggestions on what to do instead?

Well I think it would look better if they had rounded corners and maybe a little bit of spacing in between.

 

 

 

Maybe thats just me though.

I've seen image presentations like this on many portfolio sites and it tends to work well, so I wouldnt change that.

 

 

 

The thing is, at first I see your work at the right, which is nice to look at.

 

Then I see all this text which results in a dilemma: Will I read the introduction or should I keep looking at the images?

 

My eyes go left, right, and it keeps on going like that, I think you should try to separate both.

 

A simple horizontal navigation with just the basic items in it will suffice. (Home - About (< Contains text which is currently at the left) - Contact)

Thanks Jelle, I'll take your suggestions into consideration :P

I quite like it, although there are a few things I would change:

 

 

 

- Maybe categorize the images; have two rows of photographs and then some sort of divider (or just some space between the last row of photograph and the next one).

 

- Have the 'Contact me' text in the same size as the 'Who?' text, and get rid of the : at the end of it. Not a major thing obviously, but I just think it would make the text area look more balanced in terms of focal points.

 

- Something about the background colour is bothering me, I don't really like that shade of grey. Maybe use a slightly darker grey for the background, but then I'd make the text colour slightly darker too to avoid hurting some people's eyes. :P

 

 

 

I do like the fact that everything is on one page, when visiting someone's portfolio I don't really like having to go through multiple pages, I think this is a good way to present the image thumbnails as well as the information about yourself.
