Well for a first layout its pretty cool
The text needs altering though, make it brighter i would say.
The layout has a dull feel to it at the moment, you need some brightness in there to create a well balanced contrast. Also the spacing between the header & navbar/content area is rather large, i will make that smaller so there is less negative space.

Other than that, its a cool layout for a first go. Nothing is overally presented and the shapes, colours compliment each other.
Its just the text

Nice work i look forward to seeing your site when its completed

Thankyooooooooou Im not sure if itll ever be finished, I mainly concentrate on signatures

Like stated, text and lighting needs work.

The whole site is very monochromatic, add some color!

The text is quite hard to read, i'd stick with Arial & either dropshadow or no blending options.

Some darker grey, and bright green... might look good

I would add a footer as well, and try to fill in some of the blanks.
