Jaffar Khorshidi
A clean and stylish portfolio for a'multi-disciplinary designer' based in Manchester. I like the consistent use of white on black and the strong contrast achieved. The portfolio section itself is attractive and gives a good amount of space to each design.

Found Colour
A clean and intuitive site for a graphic designer and frontend web developer. It\'s a good example of effective selection of typefaces, the name of the site is interesting and made a focal point while the main text is in a more clearly readable typeface. I particularly like the portfolio gallery and the differently sized thumbnails of each project!

Aribeo
A wonderful portfolio site for a creative freelancer! I love that the sidebar remains stationary while you scroll through the gallery to the \'about me\' section. The minimalism of this design is great and perfectly adorned with little handwritten comments and doodles.

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.

Elliot Lepers
A fascinating portfolio site for one Elliot Lepers. The site is really something the must be experienced to be understood, the tiles moving and shifting as you browse the page! The barrage of colour and design is awesome and immediately makes an impact!

Jose Alonso
This gorgeous site is the personal portfolio of designer Jose Alonso. I love the unique slideshow of his previous projects and the bold statement made by the header! The rest of the site is just as well thought out and features some delightful icon design!

Digiguru
A bold showcase site that features the work of Craig Jamieson. I love the striking header and how it differentiates itself from the portfolio half of the site! The typefaces used are excellent and the portfolio grid is stunning to look at!

dumbpunk
A stripped back portfolio site for a web designer. The simple content layout is great, as is the interesting use of a yellow strip for the header! I love the way each project fades to colour as you scroll over it!

Happydesigner
A simple portfolio site that makes good use of a monochrome palette. While it would benefit from the use of some colour in the header the monochrome approach helps to make the portfolio catch your eye! I also like the hand drawn feel behind the site.

Kubi Media
A gorgeous site for a Web Designer! I love the simple painted background and header design. The portfolio grid is excellent and wonderfully enjoyable to explore - it\'s got to be seen to be understood!

Think Luke
A slick portfolio site that features a massive central slideshow! The use of a scrolling gallery of recent work is excellent and perfectly showcases the company\'s diversity. I like the use of green to add interest to an otherwise monochrome layout!

James Oconnell
The personal portfolio of James O\'Connell features a screen-wide slideshow that makes a great impact. As a designer it\'s vital to showcase your work and design philosophy to any prospective clients and this is achieved here using a gallery of James\' recent work. I like the subtlety of the dark grey text on the light grey background. It\'s not something that immediately makes sense, but that works perfectly to allow the colourful designs to grab your attention.

Keenan Wells
An excellent portfolio site that immediately draws you in! The use of a gallery as the central focus works and brings colour and life to the site. I particularly like the little details that make all the difference. Details such as the arrows that guide you in and the ripped effect of the gallery items.

Sko Design Lab
An excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!

Instix
An interesting site for a web portfolio. The graphic on the right is intriguing and certainly makes an impact but the overall spacing feels slightly off - the redundant gap beneath the header is screaming for attention! Overall, the black and silver approach is stylish but could benefit from some colour.

Netzbewegung
I\'m in two minds about this site. I like the simplistic header and the contrasting use of orange against the white of the background, but the central slideshow doesn\'t quite fit with the overall design. Having a showcase of your company\'s portfolio is an effective way to hold a visitors attention but in this example it almost stands out too much!
