This site uses a very simple but attractive layout that is quite image centric. The thick white border treatments are nice and the content is split up well into the three sections.

A nice side scrolling site with a modular format containing several boxes of content displayed on a dark background. There is a nice fusion here of typography and photography and several small examples of good design that lend to the whole.

A refreshingly original designer portfolio with lots of personalization. Obviously, the large letterpress effect is the hero of the design and really grabs your attention with contrast.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA 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.

This designer took an interesting route for presenting data in a visual form. The point in question is shown in a big colored circle in the middle and the related aspects are offshoot circles surrounding the main. A little odd but definitely fun!

This site uses an interesting layered photo effect that is both busy and attractive. The colors have been selectively applied, most of the site is black and white with a few bright colors applied in the three supporting photos near the bottom.

This site features a very classy dark theme with beautiful colors and a nice, large image slider of recent work. I like that the images in the slideshow have actually been designed so that they give the illusion of changing the layout on the page. A great effect!

This site features an amazing full screen illustration of an octopus at the ocean sketching both on paper and on a tablet. It sounds ridiculous but the execution is stunning. The use of color and lighting effects is truly masterful.

An absolutely beautiful site with an amazing rendering of a swiss army knife comprised of design tools. The page has been really stripped of content to highlight the large graphic. The site offers a cool freebies section that you should check out as well!

A nice looking grid-based portfolio that changes color every time you refresh the page. The hover effects drop the color overlay and show the artwork in its true form. A nice effect that really brings focus to where the mouse is.

A very simple design that relies heavily on typography and bold, oversized statements. The Dribbble and Sketchbook portions are definitely the highlight of the page as they bring in some much needed imagery.

A dead-simple design that is quite attractive while featuring little else that a large slideshow of recent work. I particularly like the subtle 3D effect that has been applied to the boxes at the bottom of the page.
