In The Making.....

I thought it was about time for another post to the blog with some updates on the portfolio. The introduction is next to complete, there are a few fine edges that need to be fixed but that is not my priority at this point in time.
I have been working on my actual portfolio, and am getting closer to a final design that i like... The only thing that is bugging me now is the buttons. The ones shown are modified from the mock-up post below and the one showed in presentation. Although these buttons are not as thin and irritating to click on, i think that they still do not quite fit in to the overall layout, its like pancakes with tomato sauce, something just isn't right.
Here are some screen prints for your eyes to feast on:




If you have not already guessed, these are progressive screen shots, first being the initial page, second the rollover, third the click.
As you can see there is no menu as yet, but it is being worked on before and after this entry. But you may have noticed the birds in the background, these are the same birds from the intro animation and they fly continuously and randomly in the background thanks to a basic partical system. i have limited the birds to 4 on the screen at one time so it does not get too chaotic, but just enough to please the eye.
There are a few bugs in the code still that involve the rollovers and the button titles but nothing to drastic for the time being.. im sure when content is added i will start to sweet blood.
So yeah, please comment on this and give your opinion on what i should do about the buttons. its hard for me to make new stuff coz im looking at it all the time.. Some fresh eyes on this would be greatly appreciated.
