I have a question. When it is actually going on the website, will it have writing over the gray portion? If it will, then that is pretty much perfect; if it's just going to remain blank space, then I agree with Jeff- fill it up with a little more stuff. But, on the whole, this is completely amazing. (Yeah, and here I am, barely able to critique something like this, let alone make something like it! XD) Okie, so I obviously can’t give you as detailed a critique of your work as that Jeff dude can, but I CAN tell you that it’s really good. I have a question.

I just have a few minor ideas The c in chaos in the upper left looks a bit too similar to the o, you might want to make it a bit more distinguished The bottom edge of the layout feels empty. I think it needs to be different from the rest of the layout, but not so stunningly obvious. In the upper right, you have the menu overshadowing the background. This is quite nice, but you have a tiny bit of the edge of the content box there. Sorry, it just sort of bothers me. At the top, the font for the menu items needs to be altered a bit, I believe. Some of the letters have a very slight grunge effect on them, I believe you should strengthen the effect a bit and adding it on to other parts of the text. You might want some sort of logo or symbol in the top left there, along with Organized Chaos. I would also like to ask, what's the point in the blue edge on the left? If it's just the background, you might want to move the content box over a bit to center it more. If it's part of the content boxes, you have two thinner segments on the left and one large segment on the right. If this was so, it doesn't look quite right to me. This brings me to another question. Is the design that seems to be on the content box actually on the content box? Or is it part of the background? If it isn't I'd suggest you turn down the opacity just a bit on the big box, and up a bit on the left hand navigation (or I'm assuming it to be so). This will create a sort of contrast between the two. I'm not entirely sure how it would look, but it seems like a reasonable idea to me. Just my basic opinions on the site, along with a few suggestions. It's a brilliant piece of work. That’s quite nice, the feelings that the design evokes are quite suitable towards the chaos idea.
