Twofold
A gorgeous portfolio site for a creative agency based in Australia. I love the giant photographic images that leave an imprint on your mind. The use of text is effective and restrained, while the colours hold your attention.

Restaurant Porte Sainte Claire Annecy
A brilliant restaurant site that makes an immediate impact. I love the food photography here, it's a difficult thing to get right but the colour and freshness of the food here is clearly evident. The simple central block of information is easy to understand and clear, people often just want the vital details when looking up a restaurant online.

A fascinatingly interactive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the unique approach, although it can feel a little stilted at times. The bright and friendly outlook of the site would certainly appeal to particular clients.

Analogue/Digital Creative Conference
A simply brilliant site for a creative conference that takes the grid layout to its logical conclusion. The static boxes give the site a structure and make for an interesting scrolling experience. I love the use of colour and photographic fragments, it really makes an impact.

404 not found
A great site that solely comprises of a curated 404 not found gallery. I like the non-standard layout and simple navigation. The staff badges that indicate favourite entries are great and help to give the browsing experience some direction.

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!

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.

This site uses bold colors and simple graphics with a high level of eye-catching contrast. When you reload the page the color of the site changes along with the shirts the guys are wearing. I love the integration of the live map into the bottom of the page, an awesome touch!

Kleeve sells custom t-shirts with unique illustrations. The product is displayed well on the homepage with high quality photography with a homegrown feel. The scribbled treatment at the top of the page is nice and reinforces the art element found in the shirts.

Market Restaurant
This site design is an awesome combination of color, texture and photography. Notice that the design is not just attractive but highly functional. The restaurant hours are placed right on the homepage because they are probably one of the main reasons people stop by the site.

Grey Ang
This site uses a bold color spectrum and some nice but subtle particle animations in the background. I like the simplicity of the typography-centric design and how the content fades out and in when you switch pages.
