Themes Kingdom

Themes Kingdom is an online retailer selling quality WordPress themes. I love the unique design style of this site and the fun illustration of the knight near the bottom of the page.

aShaker

This site features a nice, colorful background, nice typography and a few great button graphics. It feels a bit like a familiar template that I have seen before but is a decent execution.

Icon Moon

A 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.

A Night for Adoption

This page contains example after example of beautiful design practices. The typography, graphics, image treatments, button design and just about everything else are all very attractive and fit the bright sophisticated theme perfectly.

Stratis Design

THis site features a nice blue theme with a subtle noisy textured background and some fun illustrations. The overall design is clean and effective with lots of little touches that go a long way.

Glume

This site features a unique looking thumbnail gallery that contains tall, thin images with animated rollovers. I really like the textured background used on this site, it has a sort of tiled look that I have not seen on a million other sites.

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.

Weaverant

This site is dominated by a large image slider containing extremely simple but attractive graphics. If you scroll to the bottom you will see the features listed in yet another slider with large great looking icons.

Foundation Six

A beautiful site that uses a typical but stylish 3D web page layout, subtle background textures and rich colors. They typography throughout the page is particularly well done. Notice the mixture of thick almost western serifs with thin condensed sans-serif type.

Ithaca Events

Busy textured design is not easy to pull off but this designer did a great job. I love the combination of the bright colors with the grunge textures.

Local Wisdom

This site is fantastically unique in just about every way possible. From the crazy illustrated background to the original 3D ribbon navigation area, it all has a high quality custom feel that is hard to find and easy to appreciate.

Lucid Dream Studios

An edgy design with busy graphics and unique typography. The explosion graphic in the header is nice as well as the thumbnail strip along the bottom of the page.

Zennaware

The large image in the center really steals the show and is a really nice piece of 3D modeling. The rest of the page is very minimal and serves as the perfect setting to highlight the primary graphic.

Druck Deine Diplomarbeit

A really great looking site with clean lines, nice typography and excellent icon design. The treatment of the headline is particularly nice along with the large footer that contrasts heavily with the rest of the page.

Iconnice

A stock art site with an illustrated storefront theme that is quite simple but works well. The layout could be a little stronger but the colors are nice and the page showcases the products effectively.

Daggerfin

This site features an excellent textured background and nice muted color illustrations. It also has the coolest scrolling idea I have ever seen. The graphic at the top stays with you as you scroll but appears through differently shaped holes in the background texture. Stop by and try it out!

Steven Little Design

The online portfolio of Steven Little. The large typography is very attractive and features a subtle letterpress effect. The navigation icons in the top right are also a nice touch and feature a cool spotlight hover effect.
