    I like the general layout, but it looks a little unfinished. Here are a few things that I noticed:

    • As everyone is saying, the background is too bold. Knock down the opacity by about half. Will you be able to make this into a pattern so it will seamlessly fill the entire background? This will help make the logo stand out more, too.

    • The last white block in the nav is taking over as the focal point in this section. I would increase the size of the nav font and extend the nav blocks so the 3 fill the entire space.

    • I think the triangles are too strong. I would slide them up about half way so just a little bit of the point shows. This will make it much more subtle and draw less attention.

    • I'm not sure where the blue font fits... Maybe stick with the dark gray/brown or black.

    • The Read more links could be improved. They look very basic.
