Dear community,

i'm soon a 3d generalist (meaning I do everything from animation, modeling, rendering, and shading). right now I'm a master student and I'm working on my online presence with indexhibit. the portfolio will be used to apply for a job. the frontpage and one project page are already done. please have a look.

I wanted to keep it plain and simple - focusing on the projects. I'm not happy with the "about me" position on the top. Don't know how to align the text. And I dont know if its position is obvious enough since "about me" dont show in the menu.

Please tell me what pops in your mind, are there any suggestions, anything regards the design? Do you think you need more information on the project page? about the video? are there unanswered questions after seeing it and fly through the description?

Thanks for any kind of feedback

I think it's coming along fine but I don't really like how the navigation works. The content should not have to shift down to show the other pages. I never thought that effect (whichever template it is) was very nice.

I also notice (I'm using the newest Safari) that the left border does not extend all the way down the page. Or, perhaps the foot is overlapping it somehow?

Otherwise, just keep working on it...you only need as much content/info as you feel you need.

Thanks for your feedback Vaska.
Its the expandingMenus.js which creates the effect. I dont want the menu to be expanded by default because it shows almost the same content as the thumbnails.
Which OS are you on? I tested the site with Safari both on XP (4.0.3) and os x (5.03) with no visible faults.

Try making your browser smaller (less tall) and see if that shows the problem - I'm on a 13" laptop so perhaps this is why I see it.

Great Job
By the way, I'm looking for the plugin "visual index"
Unfortunately I saw on the forum it was no longer available.
Is there an alternative for this purpose?
Thanks
thomas
