So I launched a quick beta of my personal portfolio page, currently it's mostly a placeholder with some information about me and a couple of Dribbble shots and I'm going to build this as I go.
@Thibault Rouquet I did some rough testing with EyeQuant when I redesigned and it turns out that the text is pretty visible in the middle of the photo for the first-glance user. :)
Sorry, looking at the live site it seems that its not the text shadow but rather the weight of the type on the smaller button. It has more do to with the readability of it rather then the style. It's probably a personal preference, but I'd try something lighter.
@Mariusz Ciesla Oh I do think the text is visible in the middle of the photo. I'm not talking about the placement, I'm talking about the type work :)
It's hard to explain but It needs some work.
The first line & the third one seems to have the same width. But the second one is going over in a way that doesn't look good (imo) => The second line should be really wider than the other ones (maybe with some letter spacing on #2 & by reducing #1 & #3).

That's not bad but I think The "My name is [...] product" bloc needs more work, It seems lost in the middle of the photo :)

Looks great! The text shadow on the buttons are bothering me, though.

@Mike Arndt oh, I'll look into it, maybe letter-spacing might help. ;)
Update: actually, -webkit-font-smoothing change helped a lot, doesn't look as bulky anymore. Thanks for the feedback! :)

I changed the main pic temporarily on live version for better readability, it will come back soon though, I don't like the new one very much either.
