Thoughts on my portfolio template?

Working on updating my Portfolio. I have two layouts. The first has a side bar with info - there was a portfolio on here with a similiar sidebar that gave me some inspiration for that concept.

The second is a lot simpler and just has my logo with Client and Media.

I think I am leaning towards the latter as it is nice and clean and simple but wanted some opinions on how it looks or any suggestions.

The website was just a piece I pulled from my portfolio - the majority will be print media (flyers/posters/brochures/banners etc.)

Cool.

personally I like the simplicity of the all white one but I also think its too simple, a user has to be able to figure out how to work the site, ie moving to the next example page, something clearly defined by the two triangles on the grey edged one.

Yes, good point. I am planning on having a row of thumbs above the page of all work in that category. I am also thinking of having a larger triangle on the right side of the page pop up when you move your mouse over the right side of the page. And a "back" triangle pop up when you move your mouse over the left side of the page.

I attached a couple of the layouts to give you a clearer idea...let me know what you think.

thanks.

ok thanks for the feedback.
