But, to my look, the description of project (name, author, category) don't write on the image - then the text is difficult to read. If you really want, then make the text more contrast - in your case, the black text on a light (even lighter than now) substrate. Or, as an option, replace the image with a colored background, and insert a smaller version of image, as a project icon
Thank you for your comments - we will try to take them into consideration.
