I can't make the type bigger. The type is too grey.
I keep reading About you, instead of the work.
I already know about you, I want to read about the
work. But it looks pretty!

I dont think the type is to grey, but I do think you need a little more space within the whole layout (a bit of breathing space)
On the techincal side it seems a little sluggish, Flash would be more efficient than your use of Javascript

I like that the site seems to be secondary to the work, which should be the focus of a portfolio site. The colors of your work really pop. Too many sites get in the way, visually.

But, as others have noted, the navigation is a bit obtuse at first, and those first seconds of "now what do I do?" are so crucial. The striped image area could have your bio inside of it, since that's the focus at first, then you can move the portfolio navigation up closer to the images. You should probably differentiate between active and inactive items in the rectangle nav. Right now it looks like you designed a navigation that doesn't fit your content. Perhaps an outlined box?

Then, I'd punch the heads up a bit. All of the type is a bit broken and light on my monitor (PowerBook 17"), so the heads should get a bit more weight/darkness to allow quicker comprehension of the site's structure.

Nice work, by the way.

Cheers for the comments all round. Noted the 'bleached out text' problem that is more evident on laptops and will work on actual text as opposed to png's of text. This is the first live website that I've tackled so I'm hoping to learn from mistakes as early as possible! Pleased that the work - as opposed to the website design - comes to the foreground.

Thanks again
