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.

Outmarked
This site features some beautiful typographical artwork that has a cool depth of field illusion. Notice how heavily the designer uses contrast to grab your attention in both the header, main image, and dark inset type.

Webexpo
A nice looking site with an interesting mixture of structured and organic design. There is an overall theme revolving around a jagged squiggly line graphic that is repeated in different ways throughout the page.

A really unique looking portfolio with vertical rectangle samples and intense color. The design of this site is quite bold and even features an alternate style accessible via a button in the navigation. An interesting and fun idea!

My Website Bites
A nice looking site that is oddly enough all about ugly websites. The design is fairly simple but the color scheme is quite nice and the photography used in the slideshow is humorously appropriate.

Honda
Normally I hate car company websites but this one features a really sharp design that is completely clutter free and quite modern looking. The large photos really speak volumes about the products and grab your attentions and the bold red pulls you down to where there is more information.

Redup
This site features a great looking modern design with nice illustrations and attractive typography. The rocket ship creates a strong focal element which is then flanked by two clearly written mission statements. Definitely some great work!

Captovate
This site features beautifully rich graphics, solid icon design and attractive custom fonts. I especially like that the slideshow at the top takes up the full browser width. That is a neat trick that I do not often see!

An interesting take on a web designer website. Easy Peasee uses fun cartoony graphics, bright colors and friendly messaging to draw you in. Overall it is a nice looking site with a simple to follow progression of information. If you stop by be sure to take a look at the interesting footer design.

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.

Yiipu
This is a very simple site with two key design elements: typography and color. The type choices are really quite nice, I like the inset letterpress look. The colors are mostly uniform but still quite bright and friendly.
