    Looks a bit like a (good) standard template

    Everything looks really clean and clear, just as you wanted to, maybe a little too much. To me, it looks like a (very well done) blog template. The "About me" page is great, I like the idea of using a picture of you as a sidebar, it's an easy and fresh idea. In everything else I'd change something, but I don't really know what... it's just too slick and perfect, I guess

      Yes, i think you're right too. May be it's too clean. I'm trying to put more life in it. Thanks.

      I'm in agreement with Emanuele. I was thinking the exact same thing, about it looking like a well-designed template, but that's not a good thing for a creative portfolio.

      Whatever your style is, you need to inject more of it into the site. Maybe simply just more pics of you mixed into it.

      I'm trying to make it less " template" style, i'm working on the logo. The problem is i don't know what to do with content to make it more personal. This is the kind of design i like. At the ame time, i'm thinking of adding something "real". May be a ploaroid somewhere, or photos of me ( even if it could be too much of me ) may be texture too. in the background. I'll try something and i'll show you here. Thanks for your feedbacks.
