I'm in the process of setting up a new website for my web and graphic design business.

I'm planning a home page that uses a very minimalist design: It will feature a large H1 title, a simple "Graphic and Web Design" sub title and a navigation menu. Aside from that it will all sit on a nice animated background. Aesthetically, it all looks nice enough. I will be setting up solid title, keyword and description meta tags - but im concerned that the lack of blocks of visible descriptive text will hurt my SEO.

Is this the case?

It's recommended that a page should contain at least 300 words to be taken seriously. The more the merrier when it comes to content.

What is your home page for? If it exists for SEO, then you need a different approach. If it exists as a way to show off some work to people who came deliberately to check out your company, SEO may not be the most relevant item.

SEO =does= matter--but your home page doesn't necessarily have to be the page that comes up--that could be an "About" page or some other place where a text introduction to your company with appropriate terms appears.

Most recommend using the home page as a way to orient your visitors. Welcome your visitors. Explain what the website is about. Point out how to get around (navigate the site). Have textual links to other pages on your site. Do what you can to provide what your target market is looking for. Try to keep them on your site without clicking away. First impressions are important!

If your page will not be optimised well with appropriate text then it will not hurt in a bad way.

But it may be hard for you to get the desired ranking.

So, if you are serious about the ranking then i would say have a good website structure with appropriate content (Text, Images, videos etc).
