Mohiuddin Parekh - Personal Portfolio

I like the site, its something different. I would bring the padding on the text on your home page down a little more, as the bubble and text colour make the readability not so good.

As for the javascript sliding effect on the navigation, i like it, its cool, but make your background work with it.

At the moment its the same background over and over again, try making the other pages just look under water, and that the background is a continuation as you go through the links.

If you didn't do that it looks a little unprofessional.

I understand that this is maybe still not complete but if you got that change done, i would really like the site.

drowned and broken images give negative feel to otherwise different idea

Hi Mohiuddin, really like this. I agree with Alan that it would look better if the pages continued down into the water (remove the navigation on the other pages). Maybe a few more gold fishes would help with this.

If you do not want to do this (and want to keep your logo and navigation at the top of each page), then I would suggest making the page height bigger (100%). As it is now, you can see the previous page footer and looks a bit messy.

The scores of the previous reviewer are a bit harsh for what is a clean, clear, and different looking site.

Good job.

This looks clean and structured. Easy to navigate and find what I need.

I enjoy the water feel but the lightbulb under water tells me you have ideas that break and sink...

I think there could be a better way to represent what you are attempting to communicate.

Also it could be interesting to pull that vivd teal color into the header and have everything underwater to be the way it is... just to add some contrast...

fun

To me the link color (that blue-green) looks very unprofessional. I'm like the under water idea with the fish, but I'm not sure what the lightbulb is doing underwater.

I would also add some more padding between the top of the water and the content.

I like the 3rd idea of the navigation.

I think it could benefit from some more space between the fish and the words. I also think that some glimpses of your portfolio on the homepage is a good idea.

I'm thinking of my own portfolio now, so it's nice to review someone else's attempt :P ;)

I like the realistic fish image, it adds some surreal space to the design, making it look less like a website and more like something made of air and water :) nice.

Maybe you could change the fish into something else on some sub-pages? Or only one, for example a "landing page" like contact or "hire me" or something? It would add a nice surprise maybe.

I only don't like the blue colour on some buttons, the twitter bird blue ;) doesn't match other colours here. Maybe grey or light yellow? Try some other options using a nice colour mixer.

Good luck!
