My personal recommendation would be to center it.

Really like it, especially what you've done with the header and the icon! really smart.
I think it's a bit too wide spacing though, it's hard to connect the letters.
Else than that I love the sparse colours and simple layout! Looking forward to seeing this through ^_^

Thanks for the input guys! I look forward to adding my work and making my matching business card and resume design =)

Once I'm done with that I'm going to focus on the new logo for the these forums and my blog, along with new favicons and advertising banners.

I also have the new blog layout to do so much work!

I like it. The idea of using the line for an "I" is great and works well with the design. Colors are also good. However I think the "designer" text looks a bit unsharp/blurry. Maybe use a different font or anti-aliasing option in Photoshop to get it more crisp?
