Greenhill SAVP
This is a really great looking site with a super clean, professional appeal and a perfect color palette. I love the heavy use of photography and the pops of green in all the right places.

A great looking site with a fun robot theme. I like that the background image is fixed while the artwork scrolls. I also like the custom illustrations and bold high contrast color scheme.

An interesting and unique site that uses full screen graphics that pan around as you move your mouse. The navigation can be a bit frustrating but much of the work on display is quite attractive.

For The Record
For the record is an interesting site that features attractive infographics mostly built with CSS3. I like the retro feel in conjunction with simple shapes and bright colors. The combination really comes together to complete the overall feeling of the design.

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.

Idea Arts
This site uses a large jQuery slider and lots of icons to create a strong visual message. The pops of color around the page really help draw your eyes to the important elements.

Unprinted App
This site is for an iPad app that allows designers to create a digital portable portfolio. The page design is really classy and minimal with nice thin typography and bold contrast with the iPad frame.

EMPP Graphics
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.

Foundation Six
A beautiful site that uses a typical but stylish 3D web page layout, subtle background textures and rich colors. They typography throughout the page is particularly well done. Notice the mixture of thick almost western serifs with thin condensed sans-serif type.

Bold Perspective
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.

Vince Angeloni
The poster theme for this site feels really unique and is extremely well done. The key here is large overstated graphical items that come together in a very non-linear way.

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.

Knockout Fitness
It is nice to see a designer put a lot of thought towards aesthetics on a site for a local business. I like the use of shiny red elements scattered throughout the page and the modular structure of the information.

A dark and dramatic theme that uses faux lighting effects and wooden textures to add visual interest. The crazy footer design is a particularly nice and almost hidden touch. Be sure to visit the site and scroll all the way down to check it out.

This site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.

Sharp Machine Media
This site is a perfect example of how good photography is an easy and almost instant way to create classy design. The dramatic photo does all the aesthetic heavy lifting along with some grungy and old style text to support the theme.

This site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.

The messy desk look has sort of been done to death but this site pulls it off much better than most. The wooden texture is really well done and the all the Photoshop work is quite impressive. The bottom portion has some nice shadow effects you should check out as well.

c3 Media
This site uses dark colors and grunge textures to set a young and edgy vibe. I particularly liked the hover effect on the navigation area. It stretches all the way to the top and is sort of a faux lighting illusion.
