A gorgeous and beautifully animated site for a web development agency. I love the illustrations and simple flow of the animations. The minimal use of colour is extremely effective here and guides you through the core points of the site.

ultranoir
A fascinating site for a creative team that lands you on a large gallery of recent work. The ultranoir homepage itself makes striking use of black and white. I particularly like the use of typeface and animation to engage the visitor.

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.

Zhng Design
A good example of a design site with a static header. The navigation bar is effective, it follows you smoothly and allows easy movement around the site. I like the relaxed colour palette and use of typography throughout.

Kings of Mambo
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.

A simple but effective site for a designer that makes an impact with its colour palette and layout. I like the unique layout, having everything aligned right marks this site out. I like the gallery of recent works and the subtle details, such as the moving arrow under the navigation bar.

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.

Nathan Rafter
A great portfolio site for a web designer that makes an immediate impact. I like the vibrant use of colour and simple layout. The only thing I'm not convinced by is what happens as you scroll over the central button, the boxes that appear look a little messy over the background.

Ten Numbers
An artistic and heavily stylised site for a collection of images. The images, from one to ten, form the centrepiece of the site and make a great impact. I love the use of Chinese ink, it looks gorgeous.

A simple but useful concept for a web app element. A slightly different way to display ads in a web app. I like the concept and adherence to clean design.

EPIC
A bold and engaging site for a digital agency that specialises in creative design. I love the slider and the contrast between black and white. The three column layout below the slider works well, although it's a little text heavy.

Unfinished Business School
A fascinating site for the Unfinished Business School. I love the graphic style and use of colour to differentiate between sections. The layout is intriguing, each section only totally working at one specific point.

An intriguing design site that allows you to showcase your work and get feedback from the community. I like some of the touted features, the ability to tag a section of a design with a comment is a particular favourite.
