A wonderfully retro design from BuySellAds advertising their new AdPacks program. The artwork really nails the time period they are shooting for and once you start looking at the finer details you can tell that they put a lot of work into the design.

This site uses a simple but effective design with a jQuery slider header and another for the content area. The use of sliders allowed the designer to cram a ton of content on a single page in a nicely designed manner.

I like the boldness of the design here with the huge letters and colored circle. The single page format is nice as well, as you click to each section you can see that it was given as much attention and thought as the first.

This site reminds of the first hints of minimalism in the 90s. I like the bold contrast and variation between the thick and thin lines. The modular format is interesting too and can be rearranged to your preferences.
