hi, im a design student from holland and working on my 'portfolio' website.
i want it to be simple and an easy to use navigation.
i would like to let you guys have a look at it and give comments on the design and navigation.
thank you, rinus

portfolios are not about the design and navigation, it's about the work shown in it.

I like the design but there aint much nav to do right now dood.

I think on mouse out of the buttons they should go back down to the original position. but simple as you wanted.

and i really HATE it when people are talking like
"i'm a nineteen years young"
"student from holland"
"i'm making beautiful things"
"lovely work i'd like to show you"
"i'll be shooting a lot of nice photos"

the white type on the yellow isn't very visible, either make the typeface bolder or choose another colour

your type needs some help. both in terms of visability ( as earlier mentioned) as well as structure. consider kerning RINUS VAN and "design student from holland to line up. your going for whole swiss/new type/grid structure, make sure your type is consistant to that style.
good visual balance. lining up that type will make your a-symetry even better.

the white on yellow's awkward to read (but my favourite colour combination), and it would be good to see how you intend to fit all of your work in there too.
Personally - I like. It's very much my style, but I agree with the others - you should consider the tone of your writing. You sound very much like an enthusiastic puppy, knocking over teacups rather than the capable and talented worker you evidently should be.
Whatever - the WORK is the important thing, your portfolio secondary.

thanks for the comments.
since you guys wrote those comments i was thinking about how to present my work.
like stewart wrote that a portfolio is not about the design but the work presented in it.
altough, i think the design attracts to much attention since i want the visitors to look at my work, and not starring at the design of the portfolio.
i should give the portfolio another turn. thanks for the feedback.
- jg_20
yes, he is right.
take a look on this trend, making the websites look like shit, but the work inside so interesting

- stewart0
