I don't think so, the font in the menu is similar (is not the same by the way) but nothing more (different colors, different layout, etc) It's a nice design, but in my opinion is a little lack of personality, I mean it is a portfolio site, you can put a little more of your own style in it It's a nice design but need something, something exra, maybe a detail good work, V. _________________ Need help with your project?: outsourcing services

Agreed, very unique! The page is lacking some personality though for a portfolio site. _________________ http://bt-design.net

I think the site needs a better typographical hierarchy. The paragraphs are right on top of the headers! Also the headers shouldn't be underlined if they aren't links - poor usability. Also I am not a fan of the headline font you chose for you image headlines. I love red and black as a combo... I just don't think it is suitable for the size you are using it at... Here is a <a href="http://designreviver.com/">good reference site</a> that <em>sorta</em> has a the same "feel" as yours(may be a stretch) if you wanted some inspiration

But dont you miss importing SEO-work by using images as titles? (instead of h1,h2,h3 etc.) You should probably work with alt-tags for the title-images. Good job! _________________ World Maps - Geography Resource

Somehow i am not really attracted to start reading which is a bit sad for a portfolio website so maybe you can try something with it. I do like the basic styles and think you should just add a little bit of flare to it.

I think it needs something more, may be a few more images or design attributes. Your "current project" would look better in the same typeface as the rest of your headings. Graphic Design Nottingham
