Nagoya

I do not have a clue what this site is about but I think it is beautiful. I love the big circle and the representation of Japan. The writing is also excellently rendered and placed. A great pice of design in any language!

Efrogthemes

A really nice looking theme site with big, bold design elements and a friendly appearance. I love the frog character scattered all over the site in addition to that interesting background graphic and the treatment of the typography in the headlines.

Highwire

This beautiful site was recently featured in one of our design critiques. I love the layout, the bright colors and the attention to detail on the graphical elements. A great design!

ACME Creative

This illustration-centric site has some awesome graphics, colors and even a hint of texture. I love the simple layout with the heavy emphasis on imagery and the use of a bomb to represent ACME, a term that makes me think of Loony Toons!

Green Onion

This site features a boldly red design with lots of great textured and typography. The real hero of the design the os the photography. The beautiful photos really bring in that sense of professional design.

Pointy Design

A great looking site with a nice big image slider and beautiful typography. I really like the color scheme and the simple nature of the icons near the bottom of the page. Overall, a really great design.

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!

Carbon Ads

This site is showing off lots of custom typography. The fonts look really great and give the site a unique feel. I alos like how some of the content is fixed while other parts scroll. This is smart, efficient and stylish.

Enchanted Illusions

This site could use some work on the details but the overall look is colorful and attractive. I like the tabbed layout with the animated hover effects and image slider. I might suggest having another go at the typography and icons though.

Mcdonalds

Mcdonalds really stepped up to the plate with their most recent website design. It is modern, clean, and uses superb food photography extensively. By ditching the clutter and letting the food be the hero, they really highlight their products well.

BDQ Works

In truth I think this site could a bit of an aesthetic overhaul but the swiss army knife mouse won me over and is a great graphic to represent the business. Also, there is a lot of content on this page but it is divided up nicely into clearly distinct sections and provides good inspiration for organization.

Jonas Downey

This site features a strong header with a simple navigation and big circle hover effects, subtle grid lines in the content area, and lots of thick lines and borders. The design is clean, the layout is solid and the overall aesthetic is an interesting mix of fun and professional.

Aran Down

I love the painted watercolor landscape background and the letterpress headline. Other great features of this design include the staggered portfolio pieces and beautiful tabbed image slider near the bottom.

Yanis Markin

The portfolio of designer Yanis Markin. This beautiful site features excellent icon design and an oversized vertical image slider. There is also a really nice grid view that you can access by click the all designs button on the bottom of the page.

Plan My Site

Plan my site is a New Jersey based web design firm. The busy sketches on the dark background are a nice touch as are the giant 3D arrows. The latter of these really grabs your attention as soon as the page loads and makes for a nice focal point.
