It's your layout, try different stuff until you feel that you dont need to run and get your sunglasses. j/k. but when it gets soft on the eyes, then post it.
Also, forgot to mention. Read if this layout is supposed to be put up on the net.
So, making a website isn't the easyest thing in the world. You gotta think about where the text should be placed. etc, making the text devided from every brush and stripes makes it alot easyer to read, also it looks better.
When you make a layout, you need to make the site show it's purpous, like. This is about
: Warez, Design, Movies etc etc. You gotta show it to the viewers. in this case, it's a Design site (my guess). In this case you can actually see that this is a design site cause of all the brushes. But you also gotta make the viewer want to stay and read the stuff. Make a good first impression that is. Face it yourself, if you see this website with flashing text everywhere and boxes flying around the entire screen like when you were 10 years old mixing with HTML. You wouldnt stay on it, you would directly move the cursor to the 'X'.
So, you could basicly make it plain white where the text is supposed to be, not have the patterns over the Vector brushes, and try different styles out.
but i like the site cause its unique as hell.
I know im gay ^.^ but my teacher nagged as hell on me when i made this website:
