Teixido

This great design features lots of big, bold elements that are really quite stunning. The most impressive feature here is how well the design automatically reflows itself when you narrow the browser window size. Some of the best fluid layout work I have seen!

Koloroo

A wonderful logo that uses colour extremely effectively. The company name is readable while the kangaroo ensures the logo remains memorable. I really like the use of primary colours to make an impact.

Help Scout

A really nice looking coming soon page with fun illustrations, bright colors and a subtle depth of field illusion. It is a nice touch that the water bottle is an indicator of how complete the site is at this point.

Wows

This strange site uses a horizontal format and a ton of silhouette artwork. It is a unique idea pulled off in a unique way. Definitely worth stopping by to have a look!

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!

Eco Vitta

A great looking coming soon page with an awesome nature theme. Notice how the design incorporates several rich textures to really push the theme.

Eight Hour Day

EIght Hour Day is a design and illustration studio with a unique and attractive body of work. I love the illustration style found all over the website and their work. The choice of typography and colors is spot on and provides a great compliment to the images.

Webexpo

A nice looking site with an interesting mixture of structured and organic design. There is an overall theme revolving around a jagged squiggly line graphic that is repeated in different ways throughout the page.

Harnods

A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.

Frogs Themes

Frogs Themes utilizes lots of great looking browser page thumbnails, both large in the header and small in thumbnails throughout the page. The enlarging hover effects on the thumbnails is nice as well as the ChunkFive typography throughout.

Core Engine

Core Engine is an awesome looking site with a sort of fantasy adventure theme complete with rocket shops, UFOs and faux Iron Man characters. I love the use of contrast and textures as well as the quality of the illustrations in the slider.

JomPoint

JomPoint is a web design firm with specific focus in Joomla. Their site is very clean and attractive with a solid layout, nice looking buttons, easily readable typography and a smooth image slider.

Inertia Visual Culture

This is a neat portfolio site where you flip through a book to see the past work of the agency. The wooden background is a nice implementation of texture, the UI is great and the site is just fun to play with!

The Wisdom of Bees

The Wisdom of Bees is a book that uses the metaphor of a bee hive to teach practical business lessons. The wonderfully simple site features simple but perfect illustrations, a bright yellow background and well chose typography. If you watch for long enough, one of the bees flaps his wings!

Maksimer

Bright colors, nice typography and plenty of whitespace are the primary design features that stand out here. I really like the simple, stepped sticky note idea. These also feature a nice page curl rollover on hover.

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.
