A solid approach to a tumblr powered web design portfolio. I like the minimalism of the overall design and the simply functional slider. The use of typography is understated but effective.

A gorgeous site for a web design studio. I love the use of typography and dramatic, and large, slogan. The slogan works really well to draw people in, as does the slider of recent projects.

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.

A beautifully striking site for a project management tool for freelancers. I love the black text on orange and the intuitive way the site leads you through. There could be a reduction in the opening text, however.

Clerk Ink Well
A simple yet effective site for a company that sells letterpress posters. I like the descriptive central graphic and the restrained use of text. The poster gallery is stripped back but works really well to show off the type.

egopop
A fascinating site for a creative studio that, for better or worse, makes a strong statement. At least the navigation is simple and concise. The vivid colours and childlike graphics are engaging but may put some people off.
