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.

Simple yet effective. This business card quickly and easily gets across its vital information within a stylish design. I find the faded grey detail on the front of the card works really well.

Cheeky Monkey
This site features some really great graphical elements. The excellently illustrated monkey character stands in front of a jQuery chalkboard with smooth transitions. This is a really nice looking page that has been kept fairly simple with content and messaging, which made room for some eye-catching artwork.

Help Scout
A really nice looking coming soon page with fun illustrations, bright colors and a subtle depth of field illusion. It is a nice touch that the water bottle is an indicator of how complete the site is at this point.

Miralize
A nice bold design with lots of big elements. Normally I would not be crazy about using all caps through the entire site but it works well here with the bold condensed font.

The content here is split into two strong, clearly defined columns with a nice large jQuery slider on the right. I like the big, bold text in the navigation as well as the 3D effects on the left column.

An attractive site with plenty of whitespace and a nice wooden background. I like the little arrows and paths drawn over the background as well as the continuing theme in the image slider.
