Skilled Students
A clean and well designed layout for a site that aims to connect design students with useful placements. The use of clear text and blocks of colour helps to solidify the sensible nature of the site. While it's not the pinnacle of design it's a great example of web design being suited to its need.

Mint Themes
It's somehow very appropriate and right that the site for Mint Themes is as fresh and clean as its WordPress themes aim to be. The use of textures and buttons is great, the details really adding to the site as a whole.

Digital Monarchy
A simple but effective site for a small digital studio that makes a strong impact with its attention grabbing slider. I really like the clean and intuitive layout and the comprehensive footer. You can find any information you need in a couple of short seconds.

me & oli
A fabulous fashion site that exemplifies quirky and artistic web design. I love the illustrative style and the overall style of the site. A few more instances of colour use could help to add interest and emphasis to certain elements.

The Wall
A simply stunning site that's designed to illustrate a Javascript plugin. The use photographic imagery is excellent, as is the use of icons. I love the 'drag this' comments that encourage you to interact with the site, it's a great touch.

Ba Design
A definitively striking site for a designer. I love the incredibly simple approach, white text on a black background. The use of typography is good and helps to draw in the visitor.

Road trip through the USA
A fascinating photography site that simply documents a road trip through the USA. I love the simple layout and use of neat social media touches. The images themselves remain the focus and make an immediate impact.

Antoine Wette
A brilliant portfolio site that takes a very fresh and unique approach to the layout and design. I love the way the gallery flows and the use of dramatic colour shifts to make an impact. The simplicity of the site and restrained use of descriptive text works well in this instance.

The Cassette
A great site for an online shoe store. I love the impact that the pixelated full screen video makes when you first visit the site. The icons and illustrations work well to make a statement about the style of the company.

Delive
A great site for a web developer that makes great use of a focal slider. I really like the cityscape, giving the site a sense of physical placement. The navigation is intuitive and the two tone layout really works.

NewIdols
A striking site for an icon and user interface design agency. The use of a black background is effective here, colours like purple and bright pink helping to bring contrast to the site. I like the social networking icons and the typeface used throughout the site.

Happy Mother\'s Day
A beautifully designed tribute site for the mother of a designer. The full screen video makes an incredible impact, as does the gentle piano piece. The typeface used and text placement and colour works really well as an overlay to the video.

Free Faces
A beautifully designed site that's simply a way for this particular designer to share some of his favourite free fonts with the world. I love the use of typography and emphatic use of colour, it looks just gorgeous.

27 Letters
A stunning site that is designed to showcase and advertise Giuseppe Salerno's custom typeface made from 27 distinct typographies. As you'd expect, the typography is gorgeous and makes an immediate impact. I also love the use of photography throughout this site.

Defringe
A very stripped back and clean design blog. I like the clear use of the two column layout and the muted colours of the background and text. I particularly like the use of yellow as the highlight colour.

Inflicted
An immediate and striking site for an interface and web designer. The large slideshow of quotes and ideas really helps to draw visitors into the site. I particularly like the twist given to the social networking icons!

Rodania
A stunning site for a Swiss watch maker that oozes class and sophistication. I love the use of photography here, they've managed to perfectly capture something of the beauty of the designs. The whole site mirrors the design ethic of the company itself, something that's not always easy to pull off.

Who\'s Guest
Who's Guest is a good example of a portfolio for a graphic designer. The highlighting effect that comes into play as you scroll over each design is very effective at holding your attention. I like the faded photographic background but find the overall alignment of the site doesn't quite work for me.

IWANNABEADESIGNER
A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer. I like the restrained use of text, such as the bullet point list, as it helps a visitor to grasp the point of the site quickly.

The City Is Burning
A bold HTML5 site for a web designer that has clearly had a lot of attention given to it. I like impact that the header makes and clear way the site leads you through. A good example of a how a single column layout can work.
