Not more black.

The previous version, but now with a white background, and cleaned up.

However, it still doesn't do it for me. One of the main things that gets me is the nav. I love the idea in many blogs or in Flickr of tagging, and then being able to sort by tag. In my case, I can roughly divide my work into 2 realms - online and offline. But, since there's a fairly heavy crossover, I don't want to hide a project that may relate to work that's being shown.

This was my attempt at that. I thought about using it as more of a 'tag cloud' metaphor, but then it becomes a cluttered mess, and I wanted to keep a workable grid on this design. This was became more of a compact way to map the projects that were similar (either by online/offline, client, or agency).
