Chris Kinsey

This site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.

Owen Shifflett

A really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.

Easy Peasee

An interesting take on a web designer website. Easy Peasee uses fun cartoony graphics, bright colors and friendly messaging to draw you in. Overall it is a nice looking site with a simple to follow progression of information. If you stop by be sure to take a look at the interesting footer design.

Harnods

A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.

dConstruct 2010

This is a really unique and completely beautiful page design. The wall of black and white photos really grabs you and each photo becomes full cover on hover. The big, slightly transparent cross on the far right is another great graphical element that brings some bright color to the page.

Tiny Fluid Grid

An excellent design featuring a bright yellow background and realistic sliders. I love how big everything is, especially the download and preview buttons near the bottom.

Ten18 Photography

A really nice photography portfolio design. The images at the top have an accordion-like animation when you hover over them. I like the dark theme and noisy background, which goes really well with the minimal button style containing a single pixel stroke and slightly transparent fill.

Feed Football

An attractive design featuring a nice illustrated look and bright colors. I like the icon design at work here as well as the simple layout and messaging that instantly communicates what the site does.

Clear Ideaz

I love the oversized graphics and typography on this page. Also, the ragged vertical navigation area is really unique and grabs your attention quickly. Visit the page and check out the subtle light bulb animation on the top left of the site.

Vuu

I really like the soft abstract background on this site and the rounded content area with its transparent border. The blue color scheme works great with the grays and makes for a really classy looking page. Overall, a refreshingly different design!
