A superbly simple site for a professional photographer. The clean layout is intuitive and draws in the visitor to the site. I particularly like the use of typography and the focal image slider.

TM Design
An awesome site for a design studio that makes an immediate impact with its header. I love the dramatic and intriguing image and the way it disappears as you scroll. The simple grid layout of previous work is effective and a quick way to get a grip on what it is the studio does.

I like the black background that has been used for the site of this creative design studio, it allows the colourful designs to make an impact. The uneven grid layout is effective at grabbing your attention, while the interesting logo further intrigues visitors.

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.

TEDx Portland
A simple but supremely effective site for an independent TED event. I like the bold and brash use of white letters on the black background, while the consistent use of colour throughout really works. The way the letters fall away and dissipate as you scroll down the site adds an extra layer of interest.

iceactivity
A stylish and different portfolio site for an interactive designer. I like the bold use of a single focal image that introduces the designer. The gallery section works well within the flow of the site, you are gradually drawn down the page.

A clean and stylish site for a web developer. The slideshow works well to get any potential clients engaged and reading. The division of the background works well, the blue allowing the slideshow to prevail while the white allows easy access to the important information.

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.

Jorge Riera
A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.
