Alertful
Alertful is a simple and free service that sends you friendly reminders for anything you need to remember. The page is cleverly designed with sticky notes and a friendly illustrated character.

I chose this site pretty much based solely on the header. It is a colorful, attractive and crazy piece of typographic art that really sets a unique stage for the rest of the site.

Stop by this page and see the unique sketchy 3D style they have going on with the text and boxes of content. The page does a great job of organizing a ton of content in a really attractive manner.

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.

ShelfLuv
This site builds a selection of books for you instantly as you type in a query. The design is very much like that of the Apple iBooks interface with a nice wooden bookshelf that displays cover art, often with a Kindle peeking out from behind the book.

This site is an absolutely beautiful photography blog with an awesome collection of work and a brilliant layout. The little graphical banners and the old-style typography really finish of the design and give it a classy feel.

This site features a really clean and professional design and plenty of high quality photography. I really like the navigation area with the pop out hover effects. The lightly textured background is also a nice touch.

Mix & Mash
This site has a wonderfully unique design that plays heavily on the title and uses a ribbon coming out of a blender as a banner for text. I love the color scheme, original concept and slight background animations.

This simple but stunning web page uses high contrast graphics and deep colors to grab your attention. The hot air balloon is a nice touch and I love that big headline with heavily recessed type.

Glume
This site features a unique looking thumbnail gallery that contains tall, thin images with animated rollovers. I really like the textured background used on this site, it has a sort of tiled look that I have not seen on a million other sites.

Commotion
This site features awesomely unique illustrations that have a sort of fantastical feel to them. The photography used in conjunction with the illustrations is perfect as well and the color scheme ties it all together nicely.

WeGraphics
WeGrahics is a great looking site that offers subscription-based visual resources for designers. From the navigation icons to the letterpress effect in on even the small text in the footer, there is a lot of attention to detail displayed throughout this design.

This site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.

Harnods
A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.

Organic Themes
Organic themes is an excellently design site with a beautiful header and lots of nice graphical elements. Notice how there are only one or two simple leaf shapes that have been repeated throughout the site at different rotations to really carry the theme. Simple and effective!

The Solid Studios
A nice mix of serious and goofy design. The illustrated characters are quite silly and informal while the layout and other graphical elements remain professional and structured.
