Digiguru
A bold showcase site that features the work of Craig Jamieson. I love the striking header and how it differentiates itself from the portfolio half of the site! The typefaces used are excellent and the portfolio grid is stunning to look at!

A stripped back portfolio site for a web designer. The simple content layout is great, as is the interesting use of a yellow strip for the header! I love the way each project fades to colour as you scroll over it!

A gorgeous site for a Web Designer! I love the simple painted background and header design. The portfolio grid is excellent and wonderfully enjoyable to explore - it\'s got to be seen to be understood!

280daily
An relatively subdued site for an interesting web and iPhone App. The two tone background works well and allows the visitor to immediately take in the important stuff before heading on the the rest of the content. I love the custom Twitter, Facebook and Youtube icons!

Minimal content but a strong sense of purpose is what characterises this site. The dramatic absence of content is refreshing and encourages the visitor to stick around. The bold and carefully designed illustrations only add to the impact of this site!

Tom Pain
An understated but stylish site for a digital designer. The use of a textured background works really well, while the plain white text on black is clear and makes a bold statement. The subtle use of colour in the header bar works well offset against the confident black and white of the rest of the page.

Think Luke
A slick portfolio site that features a massive central slideshow! The use of a scrolling gallery of recent work is excellent and perfectly showcases the company\'s diversity. I like the use of green to add interest to an otherwise monochrome layout!

Notch
A good and intriguing site for a web design agency. I particularly like the colourful doodles and friendly typeface! The spacing of everything does bother me slightly but it\\\'s made up for by the textured background and strokes of colour.

Bento for Mac
Bento is personal database management in true Mac style. Filemaker really stepped up and addressed the complicated nature of their apps and made Bento both beautiful and simple to use. The sheer array of options for customisation is awesome!

Sko Design Lab
An excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!

Intuition HQ (New)
A clear and useable site for a website testing company. It\'s not essential for a site that is more functional (like this one) to be pretty, but it\'s still worth the effort. The colour palette is plain but works and it must be said that the layout and use of typeface is good.

Instix
An interesting site for a web portfolio. The graphic on the right is intriguing and certainly makes an impact but the overall spacing feels slightly off - the redundant gap beneath the header is screaming for attention! Overall, the black and silver approach is stylish but could benefit from some colour.

Cuban Council: Propaganda on the Agenda
A wed design site that makes a stunning, and immediate, impact! The central logo grabs your attention while the important content falls effectively into a relatively common layout. I particularly like the supreme attention to graphical detail.

Empire State Recordings
The header of this site just hits you in the face as it appears! It makes an awesome statement and urges you to look further. I love the overall feel of this site and the use of typefaces to highlight important content.

Pulse News Reader for iPad
Pulse News fo iPad sports what can only be described as a gorgeous interface. The use of neutrals and a light blue allows the photographs to take centre stage. I particularly like the transparency used throughout and the clear icons and typeface used.

BigFiveGlories
For a site dedicated to classic movies this hits the mark perfectly! The subtle detail is excellent, as is the colour palette. The consistency throughout the site is good as is the use of a star ratings system is muted colours.

Thomas Antiques
An excellent site for an antiques seller. The use of neutral colours allows the slideshow of fascinating antiques to flourish. The central logo is perfect and makes a good statement. It\'s also worth noting that the site continues to fascinate as you move downwards - using antique photography and simple descriptive text.
