redesign critique

[jlencion]

Hi everyone, I just redesigned my site (http://www.shiftingpixel.com -- haven't gotten to the archive or about pages yet) and was wondering if anyone had constructive feedback for me. any comments are greatly appreciated. thanks!

I like it. Very clean. However, I can't read the text. It's so light its very difficult to for me to read. I'm guessing you tried to have everything blend in so that the photos stand out as the focus.

Other than that... is very nice.

i dont like the spacing on the nav, it feels random, and much too light/hard to read...rollover states seem bland

other than that, its good designwise...check your code for validation though

yeah. i'm not liking the nav much either - it's hard to read and it's quite random.

other than that it's a nice improvement.

I love your use of css for the shifting pixel / date at the top. brilliant!

I'd agree with blinking8s comments above about the navigation under the photo. It's too spaced out for my liking.

Overall very nice clean design though, with the focus on the most important thing; the photos which I love. Great colours.

I think the text is too light and hard to read. I like the overall design, though. Just make it a little easier to read.

Thanks for your comments everybody! I appreciate it a lot. I am planning on changing a few things based on your feedback, like making the text darker, but I haven't had time to do it yet... Anyways, I'll post something here to update everybody when I get that done.
