JLern
A rather intriguing site, not due to its content but due to its unique layout. The rigid horizontal layout certainly makes an impression, although seems a little impractical when considering how many different sized screens and browsers people use.

A stripped back but effortlessly effective portfolio site for a graphic designer and illustrator. I love the grid layout of the portfolio page and the simple use of jQuery. The site gives a very clear idea of the designers style and approach.

The first thing that hits you when this site appears is the header, it\'s fantastic! The kooky custom typeface and the wood effect works really well and instantly intrigues the visitor. I also particularly like the border between the header and body of the site although the company\'s purpose could be made clearer...

Spreadt
The handmade paper look of this site works well with the use of a custom typeface. I like the torn paper effect and use of light blue and pink to highlight the key headings. I also find the use of punctuation in the logo helps to make the company name recognisable.
