EMPP Graphics
This site features a very thin layout with an extremely linear progression. Each portfolio piece is displayed one right after the other with a quick button to return to the top. The page is simple but effective and the work on display is quite beautiful.

Foundation Six
A beautiful site that uses a typical but stylish 3D web page layout, subtle background textures and rich colors. They typography throughout the page is particularly well done. Notice the mixture of thick almost western serifs with thin condensed sans-serif type.

Bold Perspective
This site features a very textured design with some aged paper and other rough areas and stains. As you scroll down you will see some nice faux water color effects and illustrations.

The poster theme for this site feels really unique and is extremely well done. The key here is large overstated graphical items that come together in a very non-linear way.

Think Brownstone
This is an extremely attractive site when you view it in its entirety. The architecture theme is masterfully done and I love the use of bright colors mixed with an otherwise dully gray theme.

A beautiful site with a well-executed space theme, large attractive graphics and photos, and attractive typography. From top to bottom this is just a great looking site that perfectly nails the aesthetic for the target market.

It is nice to see a designer put a lot of thought towards aesthetics on a site for a local business. I like the use of shiny red elements scattered throughout the page and the modular structure of the information.

Jordy Joel
A dark and dramatic theme that uses faux lighting effects and wooden textures to add visual interest. The crazy footer design is a particularly nice and almost hidden touch. Be sure to visit the site and scroll all the way down to check it out.

This site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.

Sharp Machine Media
This site is a perfect example of how good photography is an easy and almost instant way to create classy design. The dramatic photo does all the aesthetic heavy lifting along with some grungy and old style text to support the theme.

The messy desk look has sort of been done to death but this site pulls it off much better than most. The wooden texture is really well done and the all the Photoshop work is quite impressive. The bottom portion has some nice shadow effects you should check out as well.

This site is fantastically unique in just about every way possible. From the crazy illustrated background to the original 3D ribbon navigation area, it all has a high quality custom feel that is hard to find and easy to appreciate.

This site uses dark colors and grunge textures to set a young and edgy vibe. I particularly liked the hover effect on the navigation area. It stretches all the way to the top and is sort of a faux lighting illusion.

Looking great in black, this site features a simple artwork display area with a welcome message. There is lots of subtle texture work here that really brings a finished look to the site.

Who Is Leon
This site uses an awesome vintage photograph theme with birds and clouds. The clouds provide an animated background which stays fixed when you scroll as the foreground content glides over it. A nice effect!

This site features an excellently original design with a Photoshop empty canvas stretched into a 3D environment. I love the visual communication here. You do not need a single word to see that the site is for a female designer who is a little on the goofy side.

Minimalism is tricky to pull off and this site does a fairly good job of presenting a simple but attractive page. The alignment of various items definitely needs a little work but overall it is a great looking page.

The dark color scheme and use of gradients here makes for a really classy look and feel. The image slider is quite unique and definitely gives the impression of custom design to the site.

A classy dark theme with great looking minimal icons. I really enjoyed the original use of a spectrum here. The paint splat look can easily come off as cheesy but this site makes it look great!
