This site reminds of the first hints of minimalism in the 90s. I like the bold contrast and variation between the thick and thin lines. The modular format is interesting too and can be rearranged to your preferences.

The design above is a really great looking under construction page from the awesome designer Claudiu Cioba. I love the typography and the use of circles in the design. The overall effect is classy but in an aged sort of way.

A nice bold design with lots of big elements. Normally I would not be crazy about using all caps through the entire site but it works well here with the bold condensed font.

A nice minimal design with a heavy emphasis on the work being displayed. The page was designed using the 960.gs and has a super tight alignment that really gives it that clean and modern feel.

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.
