He lost me at "hello guys" and a picture of cleavage. Great design otherwise though.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if the person was making a play on words with 'silicon,' but considering his grasp of English, that might be giving too much credit.

Valley = Cleavage.

yes it was like like a wordplay with "silicon" & "valley" that why u see silicon boobs in the header :).. i was thinking about putting Pamela Anderson there sayin' "I know a lot about silicon & I think Filip would definitely fit there" but i didn't have time to put it in, couse I had to start studyin' for exam (which I screwed of course, because I spend most of time between christmas & new years eve working on this :)

Don't confuse silicon and silicone. You can end up with severely deformed mother boards.

He's 19, give him a little bit of a break. I know where my mind was most of the time at 19 (alright it still is :P)

Wow, I didn't even pay enough attention to the picture to notice it's a cleavage.

Haha me too… After being told there's cleavage, I went back to take a look at it again – and noticed the 2 massive balls (circle) right below it. This is too much!

Has anyone else noticed that everyone who calls his/herself a "designer" uses very similar fonts (and font structures/patterns)? It always seems to be a taller-than-normal, skinny, bold, with < 0 letter-spacing kind of font, in all caps.

I mean I guess it looks good. I just wish "designers" would try something else for a change. It gets kind of old. Trying something else and making it look good (and function well), in my eyes, is what separates a great designer from the good.

He's a 19 year old college student with good design skills. I wouldn't call that a deal-breaker by any means.
