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.

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.

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.

A stunning and stylish portfolio site for a creative studio. I really the the contrast between the black header section and white body of the site. I love the bold use of graphical ideas. The sinking text and its reflections, the illustrations, and the spacious gallery.

Zoo
An excellent portfolio site for HTML 5 web designer. The gallery is great, I particularly enjoy the way each previous project springs to life as you scroll over it! However, for me it\'s the details throughout that make this site, the icons, buttons, typefaces, and backgrounds.

Bagatelle Records
An immediately intriguing site for a vinyl record shop based in Long Beach. The illustrations work well to hold a visitors attention although there\'s a lot more that could be done with vinyl art. I like the use of typeface and division of the background!
