I voted thumbs up, mainly because I couldn't come up with something as good (I am terribad at graphics design). But I would like to add that the marine pictures are sooo common that it looks old.

So basicly what you did was find a nice starcraft related picture, add boxes and writing on it.

edit: it's kinda dark. not a really pleasure to view.

Looks like a generic wordpress blog really. You can just take some better designed free theme and replace the images with SC ones.

Agreed, it's just a blog with a SC bg.

Your design should not have to look like every single other competitive gaming team's website. Have a look at cssmania.com for inspiration. Also, since CSS3 is now available, take advantage of it!

To me it looks like a blogging site. One that can be made from freewebs.

Well I'm guessing this also goes into effect of how much they're paying you.

gotta agree with the people who say this looks like a generic blog template. Looks like wordpress or something with a marine for the background

Good stuff, looks pretty nice. How long did it take? I guess that's the best way to judge it, if it was a 2 year project obviously I would expect better but if it was a couple days/weeks then I would say it is good.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

IMO the unused space above the content box is far too large.

Haha, yeah.. that resume is.. sparse. Anyhow, there will be an actual resume page there probably, instead of a formal resume with all my information.

Resumes are supposed to only give information that is relevant to the job title you're seeking or field you're working in. It's common sense to not include high school (and below) as credentials for a job, especially for a programming one. o_o

Sorry for going off topic but some potentially important things:

First of all, the sparseness of the resume is only one of several things that you would want to work on if you were to use that resume to apply for jobs (which you may already know). Second, not putting high school on your resume is probably a mistake... I don't think that it's common sense to leave it off. If you have a college education, you should put that on also. Even if the job doesn't specifically relate to or require it, you definitely want to provide evidence of all education you have received. You do not want the person thinking about hiring you wondering if you ever graduated from high school or not...

Sometimes people leave the year off of their high school / college graduation if they are above a certain age to avoid age discrimination but that's a separate issue.

constructive crit:

first the colors are great, but I feel like you are not justifying the text by just placing them in a manner which I thought was not thought out. I say this because they look like they are just floating.

Quantum gaming when it is flushed left like that imo does not suit the typeface. It is far too tall.

one thing I want to mention is the "div" boxes on the right (where forum etc are located).
This strike through does not allow readability and if it is a stylish perspective, needs to be done in a way where the eye does not stray from it. text is best read if the 'top' half is clearer than the bottom half as all type letters are distinguishable from the top.

everything else I think looks great, color scheme and all. although some parts of lorem ipsum hurt my eyes, but that is largely a huge issue.

I'd use a different font for the clan name and add a little logo, other than that I really like the simple look of it, there's no information cluster fuck like on many other websites.

edit: as for shadows, I don't think they fit that well, try a 1px, 1px shadow instead

I can see where you're coming from. I was just always told, that when making a resume, it was unnecessary to include high school since it isn't a learning institution that allows a student to specialize in a desired field. If I did have college education in the field it wouldn't make sense to show high school information, since well.. 99% of the colleges don't let you in without a high school diploma. You're still right though.

I like the floating-ness(!?) because it makes it pop. If you look at the first screenshot it looks way too flat. Normally I'm all for flat designs, but the background already has a popping feel so I felt it was only suitable to follow through with it.

I'm surprised no one realized this: the font for all the captions/title is the same font used on the StarCraft II website (which is why I went with it).

Working on a logo. I got some ideas in my head already. Will try that shadow alternative in a second, thanks.
