Naturally it's unpolished; it's a student project. But I like that it isn't (at least it doesn't appear to be) just a copy of the design from some other website. And I still like the color scheme (that's just personal taste).

I do think the images would look better without the poorly scaled text - just white that out. And the logo might be better without the black background.

Adobe just made a free web version of Photoshop available, you could use that to make the logo transparent.
