Hey everyone, i'm making a portfolio website that I can send to potential employers so they can see my works and stuff. What do you guys think of this design? should I use something brighter? with lots of colors? Sorry about the watermark There's a lot of guests that come on this website, I have to make sure no one can steal it..

I completely understand your concern, Danmasta. I love your layout, but I agree that it is dark. Maybe make the flowing strip on the lower left your favorite color and see how the light burst in background looks in yellow or orange. Does it remind you of the Sun...?

Just what I had in mind, Danmasta! My only suggestion left is to make the background area (where you have the text "About me - ..") a different color/shade to pop out the text. You know, to make it distinct from your sidebar (About Me, Creations, Contact, etc) and to grab your potential employers' attention.

The second version is a lot better! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the help guys! Sorry I didn't respond sooner.. but I made a few changes, also I made a front page that will have a button which links to the actual website. Let me know what you think.. your suggestions helped me a lot the first time Here is the entrance page.. you will click on that little planet and it will take you to the home page of the content. And this is the main content page.. I think im gonna make a couple different variations of this same layout for the other pages.. to leave more room for images on the Creations page, and more space for the resume and stuff like that.. I'll probably take away the buttons on the left and place smaller ones at the top or bottom of the page and expand the content box to create more space, but only on the pages where extra space would be a benefit. What do you guys think? I think it's safe to say that this is Sunshine inspired

Thanks everyone! do the planets look realistic enough? is there enough depth? I made everything myself and i didn't use any references so i hope i got the lighting correct. if there is anything that seems out of place, let me know
