This site features a reased and torn paper background that is selectively applied and not at all overdone. I also love the bright colors, single strip image slider, and perfect footer design.

Colorful Visuals
The web design here is fairly simple, just a gray background and a simple grid layout. However, the artwork on display here is remarkably attractive. Definitely a great site to add to your inspiration list!

Cathedral City is a website for a popular brand of cheese in Britain. I love the architecture illustrations, fisheye effect and various flying objects buzzing around the page. Overall a very attractive site that proves busy web design does not have to be ugly!

Ed Nacional
A very simple but attractive design that contains some nice subtle graphical flavor. I love the single pixel line and the connected flag on the left side of the page, the header that stays with you as you scroll and the unexpected flash of bright orange when you hover over a link.

This site features an excellent old time, grayscale look and feel with dramatic photography and minimalist design elements. Only the homepage is featured above so be sure to stop by the site and click around to see the design style continued in different ways throughout the other pages on the site.

A nice minimalist design with lots of gray and white, thick but subtle borders, and really excellent typography throughout. In addition to the strong use of fonts throughout the design, the artist has built and impressive typographic portrait of himself.

The layout could admittedly use a little work on this site, but i really like some of the features of the design. The icons in the top right are simple and effective, the images have a nice sliding effect on hover, and the boxes of content near the bottom of the page are very well designed.

This single page portfolio does an excellent job of organizing important information into a visual hierarchy that would be effective for potential employers and clients. The design is light and airy, with a nice CSS3 letterpress effect on the headline and a thick white border providing strong contrast between the photos and background.

This site utilizes paper textures, a mix of both serif an san serif typography, and a nice large jquery slider. The overall design is simple but effective though there is definitely room for some improvement in the layout.

This site features a beautiful retro design with an attention to detail that blows me away. All the borders and background art are really intricate and eye-catching, the typography is spot on, and the character art is excellent. Definitely one of the more successfully unique designs I have seen in a while!

Bright colors, nice typography and plenty of whitespace are the primary design features that stand out here. I really like the simple, stepped sticky note idea. These also feature a nice page curl rollover on hover.

Pixelmator
Pixelmator is a popular alternative to Adobe Photoshop. The page design really shows off the Pixelmator interface well and features plenty of really stellar icon design examples. As you scroll down near the bottom the layout is broken up in modules to clearly delineate features.

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.

The "coming soon" page for an icon design competition. This wonderfully simple design features a color scheme straight from the beach and and excellent little boat icon. I also like the rounded corners and simple download button.
