I hope I don't offend you, but I took the liberty of marking up your designs for some constructive criticism. I labeled each marks with a corresponding letter to coincide with my comments.
A - I don't care for the curved corners or gradients within the icon. I feel it doesn't unify with the rest of the nav which is flat with sharp squared corners. I also recommend scaling them down10%, and scaling up your logo Dazed Digital.
B - Bring up the Cyan box to line up vertically with left photo and title bread crumb. I think it would unify your piece better.
C - You're main nav is so grey, dull and depressing. That extra shit "Most Viewed, Latest Contributers, Latest Blog, ETC" is weighing heavy on your viewers.
D - The copy is small, and difficult to read. I recommend horizontally extending the center column to take up 3 / 5ths of your layout.
E - There's too much contrast through out the piece. I would change the opacity to roughly 30% to soften your layout. I think you're layout needs more transparencies throughout your fucken mess.
F - Rotate for better readability. Read more books on usability.
G - You're putting too much on your nav making it feel heavy and uncomfortable.
H - Take out the long awkward dash, and bring in your text so every lines up better.
