This site has a giant, animated purple octopus hanging upside down from the top of the screen. Enough said. The colors and design elements are actually really attractive, I love the messy circle effect used in the graphics below the header.

A really nice looking coming soon page with fun illustrations, bright colors and a subtle depth of field illusion. It is a nice touch that the water bottle is an indicator of how complete the site is at this point.

A beautiful dark theme that makes great use of color and transparency to create different levels. I like the hint of a bokeh background and the rounded corners on the image gallery.

A great looking page that serves as the portfolio for an icon designer. I like the cloud theme, the smooth slider and how the moon in the logo changes to a house on hover. Lots of great design work here.

This site features a unique looking thumbnail gallery that contains tall, thin images with animated rollovers. I really like the textured background used on this site, it has a sort of tiled look that I have not seen on a million other sites.

This is a very simple site with two key design elements: typography and color. The type choices are really quite nice, I like the inset letterpress look. The colors are mostly uniform but still quite bright and friendly.

Foundation Six
A beautiful site that uses a typical but stylish 3D web page layout, subtle background textures and rich colors. They typography throughout the page is particularly well done. Notice the mixture of thick almost western serifs with thin condensed sans-serif type.

The large image in the center really steals the show and is a really nice piece of 3D modeling. The rest of the page is very minimal and serves as the perfect setting to highlight the primary graphic.
