A lot of the alignment is slightly off and its bugging me.

I feel this needs more than a simple gradient.

I also think you might want to throw in another font type, since working with non standard fonts may cause a problem if you ever plan to code this.

Logo and colours are effective though.

Download the full size image. dA sucks and never shows full size. The only "simple gradient" on the page is the drop shadows. The green parts were made with 10-15 different gradients each.

Also would not be surprised if some alignment is off. Working on a small monitor while trying to pay attention to your teacher and design/code two other sites is never a good combo. lol
