that’s not clever at all!! a single 1.675MB (1594×3777px) background image http://www.jeroenhoman.com/wp-content/themes/Jeroenhoman.com/img/bg.jpg
no need that at all!

And that would be why it was taking so long to load on my computer, lol. Haven’t seen that one before.
Nice clean design, love the textures too. But I’d definitely address the large background image issue.

You guys are totally right, thanks for pointing this out as this must must have slipped through. The bg graphic is now 300 kb (which is still quite large), will make a pattern from it later.
Thnx again!

Have noticed that 2010 is trending towards larger, visually text driven sites. This one is a nice and strong example of beautiful, large typography nicely done.

@Vern: There’s no shame (well, at least not much ;)) in admitting an honest mistake
@Jeremy: Thanks :)

Just an opinion.
The mistake that most of you guys repeat over and over again is to blindly follow the “trends”.
A while back ALLwebsites were gray (#333333). Now ALL websites must have a splash monster at the top of it, made of huge fonts.
In the last years people complained that the fonts are too small. Designers took action, but the actions taken were like a revenge upon the readers and so these huge vertical and horizontal monsters come now as a punishment or something, for what the readers said before.
You switch from a dirrection to its opposite one. Why don’t you try to keep some limits in all you do?
The web turned in some kind of contest: whose monster text is bigger? When opening such kind of websites, I kind of expect to read: Woman murdered, suspect unknown or something.
These look to me like panic font sizes.
All these websites look like The New Yorker, 5 times magnified. Do we really need to imitate a piece of newspaper? Do we really need to turn the web into a tabloid?
