Great use of color and texture to create a background with a subtle hint of reality. On a photography site you simply cannot go wrong with a large slideshow front and center. This one showcases her work very well and succeeds in grabbing your attention immediately.

The page design is super simple and built perfectly to highlight the beautiful apps on display. The large image scroller really grabs your attention and the UI for the apps is stellar.

A nice mix of serious and goofy design. The illustrated characters are quite silly and informal while the layout and other graphical elements remain professional and structured.

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.

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.

This site features a bold page design with excellent icon design and a strong layout. The color palette is small and works well. The red in the little link icons really pops off the page.

A simple site with a dark theme and a splash of color under a spotlight effect. The large bold typography is nice and the page messaging is clever.

A nice looking site design with a crazy illustrated monster character that is quite funny and lovable. The best feature here is the integration of different textures throughout the site. Each section has its own background texture but they flow together remarkably well.

A Feed Apart is a twitter feed for all things related to the Event Apart event in Boston. I love the classy design of the page. The insets and shadows give a lot of three dimensional depthe to the design and the color scheme is spot on.

Giving your site a huge full bleed photo slideshow is a simple trick with a big impact. I love the images used here and the minimal sleekness of the whole design. They let their work speak for itself and it does a great job of doing so!

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.

This is a coming soon page for a new site that I can only assume will feature illustrated tutorials (cool idea!). The page is simple but very well done. Everything is animated and there is fun music playing in the background.
