I must admit I've seen a lot worse than this, so nice job on making it half
viewable =)

OTOH, I agree with Killian. It lacks the 'finesse' that many would expect
from a designer, especially one who is at university studying
graphic-design. Then again, you get some designers at the other end of the
scale who manage to concoct immensely wierd web pages using their
traditional graphic design skills.

I would get rid of those bricks, and (and in my honest opinion) the frames.
I don't understand the relevance of the coins either, so I'd get rid of
those myself. I can't work out exactly what those things in the bottom left
are (look a bit like led displays), so perhaps you may want to develop a new
idea for navigation. A more imaginative logo may be useful too, especially
since you're studying graphical design, be fresh.

Overall though, it's not totally dire.. as a personal homepage or something,
it'd be 'ok' but as a business, no way jose. But good luck!

Pete
