Jordesign
A simple but effective portfolio for a small design studio. I really like the space in the header section, it contrasts well with the grid layout of the gallery. I really like the way the neutral colours allows the previous work to make an impact.

Matt Bango Logo
A great example of how effective a simple personal logo can be. The clean typeface and monochrome tones make a strong statement. I particularly like the contrast of the 'M' within the circle.

Sunny Days
An unerringly bright and vibrant site for a sunglasses retailer. The colourful and carefree nature of the images can't fail to make a strong impact. I really like the extensive gallery layout of the rest of the site, the ability to scroll through all the items without changing page is a good touch.

Prologue
This particular site makes an immediate impact with its strong graphic approach. The paint splashes add interest and colour to what could otherwise be a functional and lifeless site. The consistent graphic style works well, although some of the paint splashes are a little distracting.

A simple but effective site for a company offering templates for photographers, designers, and artists. I like the restrained use of colour and strong layout. The descriptive tag and bold slider both help to get the purpose of the site across immediately.

Mynus
A striking portfolio for a designer that features an ominously large image of his face. I like the use of colour and shape, the gallery is small but effective as a showcase for previous work.

True Ventures
A solid site for a venture capital firm that invests in tech based entrepreneurs. I like the divided background, the texture of the blue section really adds interest to the site. The key element here is how quickly you can get a grasp on what it is the company 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.

YESS BMX
A great site for a custom designed BMX frame. I love the brutal impact that the image has when you first open the site. The restrained use of colour in the background and for the text merely enhances the power of the yellow on the bike itself.

A classy portfolio for a freelance web designer. I particularly like the sketches and consistent illustrative style. The actual portfolio designs might work more effectively in full colour.

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.
