Intuition HQ (New)
A clear and useable site for a website testing company. It\'s not essential for a site that is more functional (like this one) to be pretty, but it\'s still worth the effort. The colour palette is plain but works and it must be said that the layout and use of typeface is good.

The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

Instant Rust
A stylish business card featuring a three colour design. The use of neutrals is good but adding a colour could further make an impact! I particularly like the repetitive use of the logo on the front of the card to create a textural design.

Stardom
A logo full of impact that is a good take on a well worn shape. The two colours work well on the neutral background while the broken nature of the star makes it recognisable. I particularly like the way the text has been arranged to fit within the bottom right corner of the star.

Boque
A brilliant layout for a photography site that uses a relatively dark brown palette which draws attention to the photographs. I particularly like the space given to the header.

Weather HD
A stunning looking weather App that aims to make full use of the crystal clear iPad screen. The use of huge HD photographs is effective but a little over the top while the actual forecast looks a little subdued at the bottom of the screen. Overall, a great interface that needs a few little tweaks.

Ally Creative
A very stylish site with an intuitive layout. The \'Ally\' logo is a great piece of design while the ever-changing central picture holds your attention. I particularly like how the large amount of empty space surrounding the header allows your attention to be drawn to the focal point of the site.

Animal Virals
As the name implies, this site posts funny videos featuring animals. I really like the logo design and the textured background is not bad either. Overall, a fairly unique design for a video site.

ACME Creative
This illustration-centric site has some awesome graphics, colors and even a hint of texture. I love the simple layout with the heavy emphasis on imagery and the use of a bomb to represent ACME, a term that makes me think of Loony Toons!

Barca
This site uses a beautiful slideshow of photographic textures in such a way that it actually feels like the site is shifting hues due to the brightly colored slides. I also really the like the headline typography, the engraved shadow look is very nice.

Pebble Design
This site has an absolutely beautiful design with perfect colors, textures and graphics. The content in the header automatically slides up in a smooth transition and is an excellent display of all the services offered by the company.

This is a super classy website with a bold black theme and lots of great work on display. The background texture is beautiful and the fixed header is a a neat touch.

Eight Hour Day
EIght Hour Day is a design and illustration studio with a unique and attractive body of work. I love the illustration style found all over the website and their work. The choice of typography and colors is spot on and provides a great compliment to the images.

Tijuana Flats
I cannot decide if this site is hideous or beautiful, but it is certainly unique! The out of control illustrations cover every inch of the long homepage and the head of the monster at the top pops off and stays with you as you scroll!

Volusion
This friendly looking site features a rich primary color palette and a very web 2.0 feel. The sketches over the photograph make the space more inviting and lighthearted and the use of icons really helps break up the content into manageable chucnks.

Owen Shifflett
A really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.

Mealeo
Mealo is a food ordering website with an awesomely clean and original design. The site is an elegant mix of fun and professional design that makes it immediately clear what the site does.

Agile Style
An interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.
