    Poor goradio - designers are terrible at expressing themselves!

    The colour combination seems to have had no thought behind it, I can't be more constructive than saying they just don't go together. It's the sort of green a progammer would pick, rather than a designer. Unless you were designing a site for wimbledon or something.

    The wrapping of text around those thumbnails looks very bad. You can't have "designed" this, i.e. deliberately wanted them to wrap like that, did you?

    The tracking and kerning of the "recent posts" and "recent work" titles is bad, i.e. it makes it harder to read the text instead of easier.

    There are 5 different fonts on the page. This is bad (unless you are making a feature of using different fonts for everything, say in a typographical music video or something).

    The layout doesn't seem to have a balanced grid to hold it together. See "Grid Systems in Graphic Design" by Josef Müller Brockmann for more on grids.

    i like the little flowers coming out of the star.
