A minimal site for an illustrator that makes effective use of simple imagery. I love the use of the pink ribbon and the way it winds its way through the grey bars. The navigation is intuitive and the site is clear but restrained in its use of text.

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.

A well structured and intuitive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the use of colour and motion that the arrow elements give the site. The gallery is simple but functional, with colour fading in as you scroll over an entry.

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.
