Attempt at portfolio

I've been thinking lately that I could use a place to post my creations and up coming tutorials as I've got some stuff in the works and so I sat down with PhotoShop tonight to see if I could put something together.
My creativity really isn't that hot at the moment and I was off to a very slow start and with that said I decided to keep it simple yet, hopefully, neat and clean.
So I managed to slam something together and am now looking for some input wether or not it's worth to continue working with.
Since I want it simple I guess the design itself is kind of done already, some of the other sections might look a bit different though and I might add some final touches, anyway, I just wanted to hear some opinions.

Thanks in advance!

Very nice work. A tad dark though, lighten it up a bit and introduce a better colour scheme. I like the structure of the art page. Also to make it stand out more is to be more detailed and take time on creating a unique logo for it.

I like it alot. It looks like it would be a great site for ajax or flash.

Keep it simple like that--it's not very original, but it's classy. I like it. The only thing I would suggest is a more creative logo. Something that's slick and hip to match the pink/gray color scheme. Good work overall.

My words exactly, but like James said, try and introduce a better color scheme.

I like it. I am a fan of dark and think if you go clean and simple you will always win. Good Job from me.

Thanks,

The colors remind me of that. All the more reason I love i but I do agree with Xuxa's statement.

Thanks a lot for all the response, keep it coming!

The reason I didn't put any real time into creating an actual logo is because that aspect of designing is without a doubt my weakest spot, I'm really aweful at it.
However with that said I at least made an attempt and since it's morning here now and I haven't slept I can't say if I like it or if it's trash, so I'll take a look at it myself tomorrow (or today rather..) with fresh eyes.
Though I've uploaded it so I can potentially get some feedback until then.
If it is indeed trash I'll most likely see if I can find someone on here who can help me out with it (for payment of course).
Anyway, uploaded two "version", one with the oh-so-popular reflection 'effect' and one without.

Oh and feel free to expand on the whole Ajax and Flash thing, last time I used flash for a site I pretty much got burned (not on here) for it being 'unnecessary' and while I can see how this type of design fits the whole 'slick/interface' kind of thing I'm still wondering how best to apply flash without it being used for no good reason.
As for Ajax I have no experience at all with it, so any more evolved opinions/suggestion on the matter (aswell as flash) is much appreciated!

woah, thats nice. i really like designs like that, the simplicity with style just blows me away

Thanks mate!

I've made a thread in the marketplace requesting a logo designer, I really hated what I came up with above heh and I just have to accept the fact that I can't design logos worth a damn.
