imcreative
A simple but effective site for a web design company. I like the minimal approach and clarity of the site. The gallery works well to keep visitors interested, only highlight that which you're hovering over.

Raven
A relatively simple but well though-out design for a marketing agency. The consistent use of the raven idea works well to give the site a sense of unity. I generally find the colour palette works, although I'm not convinced by the orange navigation.

Inflicted
An immediate and striking site for an interface and web designer. The large slideshow of quotes and ideas really helps to draw visitors into the site. I particularly like the twist given to the social networking icons!

Roberta di Camerino
A beautifully clean and effective site for a fashion designer who specialises in bags. The subtle colours and overall simplicity of the site allows the colourful slideshow of bags to make a real impact! I love how focused the site is, there is nothing for your eyes to be distracted by.

TEDx Portland
A simple but supremely effective site for an independent TED event. I like the bold and brash use of white letters on the black background, while the consistent use of colour throughout really works. The way the letters fall away and dissipate as you scroll down the site adds an extra layer of interest.

Body Arts Laboratory
An absolutely intriguing site design for the Body Arts Laboratory. The major downside is the lack of immediate information regarding what the site is, but the upside is the fascinating layout. The background image would have a dramatic effect on any visitors to the site.

James Whitesmith
A beautifully minimal and clean site for a freelance designer. I love the stylish logo and use of a subtle greys, it really works well and lets the product design make an impact! The simple gallery is effective and adds some great colour to the site, your eyes are naturally drawn around the page.

ClearWebSolutions
A clean and stylish site for a web developer. The slideshow works well to get any potential clients engaged and reading. The division of the background works well, the blue allowing the slideshow to prevail while the white allows easy access to the important information.

Rodania
A stunning site for a Swiss watch maker that oozes class and sophistication. I love the use of photography here, they've managed to perfectly capture something of the beauty of the designs. The whole site mirrors the design ethic of the company itself, something that's not always easy to pull off.

Daniel Büttner

Two Paperdolls
A beautiful site that makes incredible use of typefaces. The uncluttered single column approach works really well here, you can't help but scroll to the bottom. I particularly like that you can roll back the top layer of text, it's a very nice touch.

Ketch Studio
Here is an example of a seriously bold site for a creative team. The use of red and black is striking and makes an immediate statement. I particularly like the attention to detail and photographic slideshow of previous projects.

Ron Rizzo
This is a fantastic site for a jewellery designer! I love the impact of the header and use of high quality photographs to capture the beauty of the diamonds. The way the body of the site scrolls upwards while the header remains works well here, while I particularly like the transparency of the logo.

Who\'s Guest
Who's Guest is a good example of a portfolio for a graphic designer. The highlighting effect that comes into play as you scroll over each design is very effective at holding your attention. I like the faded photographic background but find the overall alignment of the site doesn't quite work for me.

IWANNABEADESIGNER
A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer. I like the restrained use of text, such as the bullet point list, as it helps a visitor to grasp the point of the site quickly.

Fool\'s Errand Design
An awesome portfolio site for a freelance designer. The unique approach to layout here is fascinating and works well to get visitors engaged. The entertaining, and slightly tongue in cheek, tagline makes an immediate impact.

Robert Ari
A clean and stylish site for a North London based hairdressers. I like the use of a monochrome scheme for the background, it really helps the photographs to make an impact. I particularly like the intuitive design and how easy it is to grasp what the site is for.

Jorge Riera
A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.

Florida After Seven
I love how striking the graphic style of this site is. It can't fail to draw you in and further intrigue your creative mind. The typeface is excellent and really makes a strong statement alongside the unique, and surreal, illustrations.

The City Is Burning
A bold HTML5 site for a web designer that has clearly had a lot of attention given to it. I like impact that the header makes and clear way the site leads you through. A good example of a how a single column layout can work.
