A lot of folks might disagree with me, but my personal preference for portfolios is to keep them very simple and un-assuming. That way, the work -- which is what you're really (or hopefully, at least) trying to show off -- can speak for itself.
I feel like the design of the portfolio here overshadows the work. If I were to suggest a few simple changes, they would be:
- get rid of the rakish 45 degree angle. lots of wasted space there.
- run the nav horizontal to save space.
(these first two could go a long way to abating the "dated" look others have mentioned)
- make the work bigger and the area for the descriptions smaller. again, lots of wasted space there.
- the definition concept seems a bit unneccessary to me.hope that helps.
