A bizarre but attractive portfolio site with plenty of stellar work on display. The heads are used as a recurring theme to show the relation of visual design to UX in each project. An interesting idea!

Fothergills
A nice wide website that is bold enough to stretch out to 1,200 pixels. The gradient in the header is very attractive, the photo slideshow is great and the scrapbook edge treatment finishes off the look nicely.

I love the clean and classy appeal of this design. The 3D banner at the top, the serifed type on white, all very nice. The talent on showcase here is really interesting as well, be sure to stop by and check it out!

This site utilizes an eye-catching spectrum graphic in the header and some really nice button design. The layout is diverse but strong and I like the little quick quote generator that they included on the homepage.

This site is a crazy piece of Photoshop wizardry. Check out the giant beer light bulb or the really unique timeline in the middle. If you are in the market for some really unique inspiration, stop by this site and have a look around.

This page features an interesting two column layout where the large logo on the left stays static as the right side of the page scrolls. If anything, you should stop by the site to see the crazy haircuts!

Halfhead Design
An edgy design with sketched type and splatter paint background elements. There is actually a ton of content on the homepage, a lot of which is text, but it has been organized nicely so that it does not look cluttered or busy.

Taiyab Raja
This site has a nice and simple design with an attractive background and easily readable typography. Some designers make the mistake of thinking that if you do not have a lot of content, something is wrong. This site shows a small amount of content can be beautiful.

Cheeky Monkey
This site features some really great graphical elements. The excellently illustrated monkey character stands in front of a jQuery chalkboard with smooth transitions. This is a really nice looking page that has been kept fairly simple with content and messaging, which made room for some eye-catching artwork.

AppStorm is a great network of software blogs, and their new homepage is bright, bold, and a great jumping off point to the rest of the network. Icons work well to quickly show a visual representation of each different site.

NihongoUp
This site is a great example of clean, corporate design that also happens to looks really nice. Note the heavy use of thin lines for content separation. The illustration is also very well done and really provides a great focal point.

A really nice looking theme site with big, bold design elements and a friendly appearance. I love the frog character scattered all over the site in addition to that interesting background graphic and the treatment of the typography in the headlines.
