   Toying with navigation ideas. I tend to throw everything together at once, even during the idea stages, rather than working in greyscale and getting layout fixed.

   I prefer seeing what something may look like first before committing and laying out more.

   Still very rough at the moment and it's only the first of many designs to come before I settle on one and begin the polishing.

   I like the colours, but not sure what's the link between Portfolio and a Pushpin. What was the thinking behind it?

   There wasn't much thinking behind it to be honest. Just playing around with the idea of icons and spacing at the moment. If I decide to go the icon route, I'll be making a custom set for it - the portfolio one probably being some sort of gallery icon.

   Have you tried adding some opactiy to the navigation colours?

   It might be nice to see some of the lovely 'leather' texture coming through

   Lowered opacity as suggested, added the highlight to balance it out and keep contrast. I knocked together a quick icon for it too. The idea is the physical folder type of folio but would need tweaking to perhaps an open folder or something different like an easel etc.

   Better?
