This site uses dramatic photography and impressive lighting effects to capture your attention. The busy background made creating readable typography difficult but the designer handled the problem like a pro and has created a beautiful and readable page.

This site features an amazing full screen illustration of an octopus at the ocean sketching both on paper and on a tablet. It sounds ridiculous but the execution is stunning. The use of color and lighting effects is truly masterful.

An absolutely beautiful site with an amazing rendering of a swiss army knife comprised of design tools. The page has been really stripped of content to highlight the large graphic. The site offers a cool freebies section that you should check out as well!

A nice looking grid-based portfolio that changes color every time you refresh the page. The hover effects drop the color overlay and show the artwork in its true form. A nice effect that really brings focus to where the mouse is.

Simon Foster Design
A very simple design that relies heavily on typography and bold, oversized statements. The Dribbble and Sketchbook portions are definitely the highlight of the page as they bring in some much needed imagery.

A dead-simple design that is quite attractive while featuring little else that a large slideshow of recent work. I particularly like the subtle 3D effect that has been applied to the boxes at the bottom of the page.

This site is an absolutely beautiful online store selling icons. The theme is a set of shelves and every icon set is displayed in a custom box design. The Photoshop work here is fantastic and you really must click through and check it out.

A beautiful musician site with a full-screen photographic background and an animated line that jumps with the music. The texture placed over the background really compliments the black and white photo well.

Market Restaurant
This site design is an awesome combination of color, texture and photography. Notice that the design is not just attractive but highly functional. The restaurant hours are placed right on the homepage because they are probably one of the main reasons people stop by the site.

This site uses a giant iPad to display the designer portfolio. To mimic the functionality of the real iPad, you click and swipe to advance to the next image; a clever idea!

This site reminds of the first hints of minimalism in the 90s. I like the bold contrast and variation between the thick and thin lines. The modular format is interesting too and can be rearranged to your preferences.
