This site contains lots of beautiful graphics, colors, textures and typography. The designer really nailed trendy feminine design at its best. The layered scrapbook feeling works wonderfully here without venturing into cheesy.

AW Digital
A fantastic portfolio that utilizes a dark theme and has a lot of solid design work on display. There are a lot of interesting hover effects throughout the site. When you hover over objects, they take on a digitized effect that is quite nice.

Icon Moon
A great looking page that serves as the portfolio for an icon designer. I like the cloud theme, the smooth slider and how the moon in the logo changes to a house on hover. Lots of great design work here.

Alexandra Palace
This site uses an interesting layered photo effect that is both busy and attractive. The colors have been selectively applied, most of the site is black and white with a few bright colors applied in the three supporting photos near the bottom.

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.

Dmitri Bekasov
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!

Sylvain Toulouse
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.

Aidan Hornsby
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.

This site uses a super simple minimalist layout, which really highlights the attractive imagery. I like the restrained use of color and the repetition of the single color for emphasis in all the right areas.

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.
