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.

MailChimp

This page takes the MailChimp retro branding to an awesome extreme. It is covered from top to bottom with excellent texture, typography and photographs that are all period perfect for the design style.

Charity Water

This is a beautiful site with a blurry photographic background and lots of contrast. Notice how the designer uses eye contact to draw you in and keeps you interested with large, stunning numbers about the project.

Chris Kinsey

This site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.

Cloverock Design

This site uses attractive typography and bold contrast as the main features of the aesthetic style. I like the rough painted edge of the header and the mixture of old style and slab serif typography.

Vustom

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!

National Money Helpline

This site features a ton of information on a single page, but the info has been organized in a thoughtful and effective manner to avoid a cluttered look. I particularly like the little interactive slider module on the right side of the page.

Weberica

The ornate typography treatment at the top is definitely the hero here. The entire page is actually quite fun though so be sure to browse it all, right down to the crazy footer.

Unprinted App

This site is for an iPad app that allows designers to create a digital portable portfolio. The page design is really classy and minimal with nice thin typography and bold contrast with the iPad frame.

Vince Angeloni

The poster theme for this site feels really unique and is extremely well done. The key here is large overstated graphical items that come together in a very non-linear way.

Project Fedena

A nice, minimalist design with a sturdy three column layout and clearly divided sections. All of the graphics on the page are pencil sketches and really bring a unique custom feel to the site.

United Pixel Workers

This site features an awesome and unique design inspired by the theme of a labor union. The main column is split into different sections that are divided by an abstract staggered line that is really creative and attractive. Perfect inspiration for anyone looking for a masculine feel.

Pete Lacey

Pete Lacey is moving to Copenhagen and created this site to help him land a job. I love the unique layout with the three columns and large photographic area. I also like the selective use of color scattered around the page.

Dan Wiersema

This site features a beautiful and unique underwater theme with excellent illustrations and lighting effects. The vertical navigation is a nice touch along with the bubble over the head of the Twitter bird.

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.

Iconfest

The "coming soon" page for an icon design competition. This wonderfully simple design features a color scheme straight from the beach and and excellent little boat icon. I also like the rounded corners and simple download button.
