I like it although it is somewhat confusing. Like where you have the titles of the things. Idk. It;s hard to explain. Other than that. Really nice.

I think it's pretty straightforward and easy to use. Good layout and design. I like the subtle background image and your new identity. Your new content is also really nice and professional looking. Great work Gino!

My only suggestions are to maybe have a rollover effect on the portfolio pieces so they change to color on hover? And also have a "next" function when you click on an image so you don't have to close the window to see the next portfolio piece.

scroll.js makes my head spin


cool site!
only little nitpicking fing that bothers me is the texture on the header is behind the content (as it should), whereas in the footer (or, the "about", "content" etc) the texture-image is after, not under. (or under not beneath, erm)

Work on the information below your work (About me etc.). I feel you've put efford into you project showcase, but just smashed in the latest information because you diden't bother to think any more.

And I'll come with some optimazition on your code. It's kind of bloated and you'll be punished for some of it. (Like repeating h1 several times.) Good luck.

You need to blend the wood more. My monitor is brighter than most monitors and I can see the cut off at the right side.

I like one single page portfolios a lot. A little colour never hurt anyone. :-) Might help differenciate the mediums.
