hidden-text

I am working on a site that has neat clean/minimalistic design/layout. Menu items are "hidden" behind an icon, to see them, users need to click on that icon to get a javascript toggled overlay with the list of menu items.

Then there are blocks with photos and users need to click on a small icon/button on each of them to get a block of text shown for each of the photo.

While I don't like such "design" myself, making me click lots of time just to read, I also think that for SEO purpose this model is really wrong.

Is such model bad for SEO? Are there ways to keep design like this but have "safe" methods of displaying text content on click that will not hurt SEO?
