A nice wide website that is bold enough to stretch out to 1,200 pixels. The gradient in the header is very attractive, the photo slideshow is great and the scrapbook edge treatment finishes off the look nicely.

The Swankolab App attempts to recreate the darkroom experience right on your iPhone and succeeds! Its interface is enticingly beautiful and like no other image editing App you\'ve ever seen. I especially like the interesting looking chemical bottles and the way your prints are hung up to dry.

This site was included mostly for its interesting interactivity. As you select an item in the navigation, it opens up a new window that is then moveable and can be arranged with the other open windows. Basically, it mimics the behavior of desktop windows. A novel idea that is fun to play with.

This site is truly unlike any others that I have seen. The design is wacky and beautiful and the functionality is quite interesting. I love the treatment of the old style typography and the splashes of color in all the right places.

The watercolor illustration of clouds on this site is quite beautiful and interestingly combined with origami birds for an altogether unique look. I like the single-page nature of the site and how the content for other pages scrolls in via jQuery instead of additional page loads.

The giant photographic header is a beautiful element that immediately grabs your attention. Other nice touches include the pop of orange and the blurry transparency on page tabs.

This site uses a simple but effective design with a jQuery slider header and another for the content area. The use of sliders allowed the designer to cram a ton of content on a single page in a nicely designed manner.

This incredibly unique site features some awesome illustration work and super bright colors. Note the generous use of whitespace and the use of another color in the middle of the site to break up the content.

This site features a unique looking thumbnail gallery that contains tall, thin images with animated rollovers. I really like the textured background used on this site, it has a sort of tiled look that I have not seen on a million other sites.

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.

Another site with a giant full width slideshow at the top (a new trend?). This is an undeniably attractive page with big bold graphics and colors that really grab your attention.

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.

This site is dominated by a large image slider containing extremely simple but attractive graphics. If you scroll to the bottom you will see the features listed in yet another slider with large great looking icons.

This site features a very thin layout with an extremely linear progression. Each portfolio piece is displayed one right after the other with a quick button to return to the top. The page is simple but effective and the work on display is quite beautiful.

This site features a very textured design with some aged paper and other rough areas and stains. As you scroll down you will see some nice faux water color effects and illustrations.

This is an extremely attractive site when you view it in its entirety. The architecture theme is masterfully done and I love the use of bright colors mixed with an otherwise dully gray theme.

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.

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.

This is a really unique and completely beautiful page design. The wall of black and white photos really grabs you and each photo becomes full cover on hover. The big, slightly transparent cross on the far right is another great graphical element that brings some bright color to the page.
