    Background adjustment to your unique style...

    Hi Kyle,

    I like this, it's nice.

    Just a few things you may want to adjust;

    I would maybe try and find a good alignment points for your "View Portfolio" button.

    I see you have the curly quote for your title yet it is not used in the text under it.

    The alignment of your first line of contact information does not align to "HOME" under "Navigation" you may want to adjust that and compare.

    Thats cool that you have an icon for ramblings and tweeting... yet, since you don't have icons for the rest of the headings, it feels a bit off. Maybe consider adding icons to the rest of the headings or taking the two icons (crayon and bird) out since consistency is what will make this page feel like it all belongs together. leading to less "distractions" for the reader.

    (I think if you took the icons out it will help the alignments of title to text.)

    I agree with Joao about the background. Since I like the spray paint can, maybe something fitting for that? Why not the texture of spray paint on some interesting surface? (The current surface reminds me of a blue business folder.) Or how about the same effects/style that you used to make your paint can?

    Since you have a passion for street art, here is your opportunity to let it shine uniquely on your front page ( Something so I have no doubt what you are about, before I even read your text.)

    I like your logo and your navigation up top.

      Amy, this has been the most professional response I have received so far. Your response is well worded and you really focused on some of the details I never even thought about. I really appreciate the time and effort you took to make this comment. Thank you very much.
