Director-ee
This site features a bold page design with excellent icon design and a strong layout. The color palette is small and works well. The red in the little link icons really pops off the page.

A simple site with a dark theme and a splash of color under a spotlight effect. The large bold typography is nice and the page messaging is clever.

A nice looking site design with a crazy illustrated monster character that is quite funny and lovable. The best feature here is the integration of different textures throughout the site. Each section has its own background texture but they flow together remarkably well.

A Feed Apart
A Feed Apart is a twitter feed for all things related to the Event Apart event in Boston. I love the classy design of the page. The insets and shadows give a lot of three dimensional depthe to the design and the color scheme is spot on.

NameChecklist
NameChecklist checks a username to see if it is available across a large range of social media sites and web tools. The clipboard theme works very well here and the overly large icons and text fields feel pixel perfect.

ToonyTuts
This is a coming soon page for a new site that I can only assume will feature illustrated tutorials (cool idea!). The page is simple but very well done. Everything is animated and there is fun music playing in the background.

One of the nicer and more unique corporate sites I have seen in a long time. I love the look and feel of this site. The layout, colors, typography and photography all flow really well together.

This is an absolutely beautiful page design. The dark background contrasts perfectly with the bright colors, the graphics have meticulously tweaked to excellence and the typography is big and bold. Kudos to the designer, really stunning work.

Nirvana is a good looking project management tool with a high focus on productivity. The site layout is simple and clean and communicates its message ver effectively. The icons are nice, the layout is solid and the blue and black color scheme feels professional.

Grant Wiant
A nice looking site with a unique square-filled animation that fills up the page. I particularly like the texture behind the navigation area and the ribbons on the bottom right of the page.

PresetPond
PresetPond is a cool new site for users to upload and share free Aperture and Lightroom presets. The design is nice and clean and shows off the presets really well. Simply mouse over the image to see the original version and remove your mouse to see the edited version.

Apperang
I am not sure how it all works, but Apperang is a site that claims to pay users for downloading iPhone apps. Regardless of whether or not you can actually make money from Apperang, it is in fact a great looking site. I like the big, bold typography and rounded, shadowed button shown above.

Bam Creative
A relatively simple design that makes a few really bold statements. I love the huge bomb, the bright background color repeated in important places around the site, and the peeling labels.

Tap Mates
This is a beautiful page advertising the design services of the popular iPhone developer Tapmates. The individual sections of the page flow nicely together while being very visually distinct through the use of excellent textures and a nice color palette.

This page showcases the features of the paid portion of the popular music site Grooveshark. It is a great looking design with bright colors contrasted by a rich black, effective use of icons, and beautiful rounded corner screenshots with thick borders.

Project Fedena
A nice, minimalist design with a sturdy three column layout and clearly divided sections. All of the graphics on the page are pencil sketches and really bring a unique custom feel to the site.

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.

Overall a little busy but it but I like the overall concept and strong use of alignment. The little 3D effects on the bottom portion of the page are a nice touch as well as the continua repetition of a single color on points of focus.

A nice single page design where the navigation at the top jumps you to different sections of the page. The letterpress headline is really well done and has an unexpected hover effect that serves as the "about me" copy for the site.

Natalie Sklobovskaya
Natalie has created a simply beautiful site with excellent artwork and perfectly subtle animations. The swirly artwork is great and the mixture of grunge textures is exactly what the page needed. A great source of inspiration for anyone creating a sort of spooky feeling page.
