Singleframe Design
A fun looking design with bright colors and custom illustrations. I like the use of the MacBook to hold the image gallery as well as the implementation of Museo through @font-face.

WeGraphics
WeGrahics is a great looking site that offers subscription-based visual resources for designers. From the navigation icons to the letterpress effect in on even the small text in the footer, there is a lot of attention to detail displayed throughout this design.

Sometimes the simplest idea can make the strongest statement. Here we see only a large circle and a navigation area but the visual statement is quite unique and attractive.

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.

A simple design with strong visual appeal and nice use of contrast. I really like the dark color scheme and the design of both the header and footer.

NameChecklist
NameChecklist checks a username to see if it is available across a large range of social media sites and web tools. The clipboard theme works very well here and the overly large icons and text fields feel pixel perfect.

PresetPond
PresetPond is a cool new site for users to upload and share free Aperture and Lightroom presets. The design is nice and clean and shows off the presets really well. Simply mouse over the image to see the original version and remove your mouse to see the edited version.

Apperang
I am not sure how it all works, but Apperang is a site that claims to pay users for downloading iPhone apps. Regardless of whether or not you can actually make money from Apperang, it is in fact a great looking site. I like the big, bold typography and rounded, shadowed button shown above.

Collision Labs
I love everything about this design. The bright background color, the grunge graphics, the subtle use of texture, it all comes together beautifully. The typography is also quite nice. Condensed fonts often look stylish in all caps and I think it works particularly well for this design.

Ten18 Photography
A really nice photography portfolio design. The images at the top have an accordion-like animation when you hover over them. I like the dark theme and noisy background, which goes really well with the minimal button style containing a single pixel stroke and slightly transparent fill.

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.

Wrkborn
A nice looking dark theme with a big image slider to grab your attention. I like the textured background, dotted lines, thin typography and bright artwork displayed against the black.

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!

M Muller
The graphic design portfolio of M. Muller. I really like the simplicity of this site. It is essentially just a headline and a large slideshow. The animated beakers in the background are a really nice touch and there is a 3D effect that takes place when you move your mouse.

Casino Lemonade
This site features a beautiful retro design with an attention to detail that blows me away. All the borders and background art are really intricate and eye-catching, the typography is spot on, and the character art is excellent. Definitely one of the more successfully unique designs I have seen in a while!
