A simply gorgeous site for an artist that uses pure illustration to draw you in. I love the hand-drawn typefaces and restrained use of colour, it helps to move your attention around the site. Everything has been carefully thought through, from the gallery to the navigation!

Sideshow Theme
Sideshow is a funktastic portfolio theme for the artsy fartsy with a built-in Tumblr style blogging system. It’s simple, to the point, and does little to distract viewers away from your work but everything to showcase it – exactly how a portfolio should function.

Burn Card Clothing
This site for a clothing company makes good use of a strong, but relatively common layout. I particularly like the consistent card theme, even down to the dark green hue of the background that's reminiscent of a card table.

An appropriately designed site for a front-end developers conference, I like the consistent theme and use of typography. The caricatures of the speakers are a novel way to add illustrative interest.

A stunning site that draws you in immediately through sheer intrigue. I love the use of typography and the strong and consistent colours and design. The dramatic emboldening effect that scrolling over text has gives you a strange sense of power.

Twelve Saturdays
A gorgeous example of a fashion site, Twelve Saturdays makes good use of typography and intuitive design. The only issue for me is the way the footer keeps running away from you!

A brutally clean site for a seasoned graphic designer. The layout is intuitive but could use more interesting details. I do, however, like the restrained monochrome social networking icons.
