Natalie Sklobovskaya

Natalie has created a simply beautiful site with excellent artwork and perfectly subtle animations. The swirly artwork is great and the mixture of grunge textures is exactly what the page needed. A great source of inspiration for anyone creating a sort of spooky feeling page.

Thoughts App

A really beautiful page design showcasing a large version of the app icon in a spotlight effect. I love the rounded hill of books in the background, the slime on the available now button and the overall dark color scheme.

TekRoc

A really sharp looking design that is very horizontal and uses lots of contrast to really grab the viewer. The images in the huge slider are fantastic, the textured black background is perfect and the six service section are handled very well. This is an excellent site to use for solid layout inspiration.

4mula Design

A really colorful design with a nice spectrum background and a really clean layout. I like how the background is fixed while the items scroll, it makes everything on the page seem as if it were floating. I also like the dark header, it really stands out well from the rest of the page.

Smart Dog Digital

A nice looking professional site with plenty of bright color and graphics that really grab you. I love the incorporation of the logo into the scene and the little shadow under the icons that make them appear to float.

Kaleidoscope App

This page is simply a beautiful piece of web design and is one of my all time favorites. The page is broken up into individually designed sections to show off the apps features. Each section has a unique and attractive theme. There are subtle touches throughout that are simply superb. Be sure to keep an eye on the logo at the top!

Druck Deine Diplomarbeit

A really great looking site with clean lines, nice typography and excellent icon design. The treatment of the headline is particularly nice along with the large footer that contrasts heavily with the rest of the page.

Wrkborn

A nice looking dark theme with a big image slider to grab your attention. I like the textured background, dotted lines, thin typography and bright artwork displayed against the black.

Three60

Three60 is a two man digital design company with a decent sense of humor. I absolutely love the animated pencil rocket ship on the blueprint background. It is a completely original graphic that really makes the site memorable. Other nice touches include the slowly changing customer testimonials in the top right and the subtle background gradient.

Charlie Gentle

The portfolio of Charlie Gentle, a Web Developer working in Nottingham, UK. The dark background contrasts nicely with the large white typography and the white sketchy elements. I am a sucker for side scrolling sites so this one gets a bonus for using this method. Also, as you scroll through the site, the bokeh at the top is animated with a 3D parallax effect that is just excellent.

Simon Foster Design

This site is the web portfolio of designer Simon Foster. Heavy use of contrast, over-sized headline, and planetary graphic come together to make this design a winner. Also, the font choices are just perfect to compliment the graphical style.

James Childers

The online portfolio of designer James Childers. This site features an strongly textured background and muted content and a perfect color scheme. All of this lends to the faded look that the designer is going for. As you hover over the images, their opacity slowly transitions to 100%.
