Riley Cran

A simply superb portfolio site for a designer and illustrator in Vancouver, BC. I love the total lack of descriptive text, it helps to intrigue you further and draw you in.

Axel Aubert

A very different portfolio site for an individual designer that certainly bears the mark of his character. The simple navigation on the left works well to complement what could be a slightly confusing scrolling central column.

Pop Gallery Tumblr

A portfolio theme for Tumblr that would be perfect for a variety of creatives. I like the minimal layout and the illustrative style used throughout the site.

Dan Viveiros

A great portfolio for a designer that makes a distinct impact. I really like the colour scheme and the use of icons and imagery. The typography is also an effective tool to convey the stylistic ideas of the designer.

Wapp

Wapp is a theme made especially for phone app websites, whether it be a specific app, or the developer portfolio. I like the customisability of the theme and the clear and intuitive layout.

In Motion

I really like the layout and design of this particular site, especially the illustration on the left that only becomes entirely clear after you realise it's a site for a mobile massage company. The colour palette is great, while the iconography makes a real statement.

Le Freebies

A gorgeous design site that's simply there to get some free design elements out there! I love the intuitive layout and snapshots of different design and UI elements, while the man with the pipe adds a certain character to proceedings.

Grit Digital

A great site for a website design, development, hosting, and marketing agency. The clean layout allows visitors an easy grip on what it is the company does. I particularly like the use of vivid colours to highlight important sections and words.

Zhng Design

A good example of a design site with a static header. The navigation bar is effective, it follows you smoothly and allows easy movement around the site. I like the relaxed colour palette and use of typography throughout.

Simon Lewis Jones

A beautifully minimal site for a web developer and designer. I love the simple nature of the site, it's striking! The colour palette is very effective and makes a great statement.

Elliot Lepers

A fascinating portfolio site for one Elliot Lepers. The site is really something the must be experienced to be understood, the tiles moving and shifting as you browse the page! The barrage of colour and design is awesome and immediately makes an impact!

Background Labs

A great looking site that features a wide variety of Photoshop backgrounds, patterns, textures, and graphics. I love the way the greyed out Facebook, Twitter, and RSS icons spring into colour as you scroll over them! The site is intuitively laid out and features a nice section for seeing the most popular tags!

4mula Design

A really colorful design with a nice spectrum background and a really clean layout. I like how the background is fixed while the items scroll, it makes everything on the page seem as if it were floating. I also like the dark header, it really stands out well from the rest of the page.

Theme Exchange

Theme Exchange is a a new site featuring and selling Magento themes. The design is nice and simple with four rounded-corner containment boxes for the content. The layout is super clean and uses bright colors to pull your attention to all the right places.

Pointille

An interesting site with a dark color scheme, curvy tabbed navigation and a large abstract and eye-catching plant-like illustration. There are some points that could use some work but I like the grid background and the large typography.

Quote Robot

Quote robot helps designers and freelancers quickly create attractive and professional quotes. I really like this site design. The robot character is excellent. Other nice touches include the rounded corners, bright colors, and inset boxes near the bottom of the page.

Drink Up Austin

Providing information all the places that serve alcohol in Austin, Drink Up Austin is a colourful, playful design that matches it's purpose well. Certain aspects of the colour scheme feel a little garish at first, but the design feels natural as you navigate around. Contrast is used well to draw your attention to certain elements of the design.
