Nixon Creative
A simply gorgeous site for a web designer that makes a great statement about his design philosophy. I like the bold illustration and the restrained use of text, it all helps to draw you into the portfolio of his work.

Keebs
A strong example of a grid layout that uses large thumbnails to make an impression. It's a good layout for any kind of gallery site, and makes effective use of whitespace.

A convincing site for a digital agency that specialises in asian markets. The use of imagery is good, and gives the casual visitor something to grab on to. I like the all-encompassing grid layout, it makes a bold statement about the design credentials of the agency.

A great site that makes a statement using a consistent theme and strong images. I like the two column layout and the impact the company logo makes. It's a good example of clean design, using whitespace very effectively indeed.

Matt Brothers
A wonderfully designed site for a web designer that makes great use of transitions and HTML 5. I really like the intuitive scrolling and flow of the site, although the background picture viewable at the bottom is of a rather poor quality.

Mic Meter Switch
A gorgeous example of attention to detail in user interface element design. I particularly like the use of colour to give life to the meter and switch. The perspective of the switches is enticing, almost begging you to reach out and press them.

Full Fat Designs
A solid and striking site for a design agency. I like the single screen layout and the effort that has gone into giving the company a branding theme. The illustration on the left can't fail to make an impact.

DDentistry
A solid concept logo for a dentistry practice. The use of blue and white feels very medical. I like the tooth idea, but I'm not sure about the interlinking teeth.

Prologue
This particular site makes an immediate impact with its strong graphic approach. The paint splashes add interest and colour to what could otherwise be a functional and lifeless site. The consistent graphic style works well, although some of the paint splashes are a little distracting.

A gorgeous and beautifully animated site for a web development agency. I love the illustrations and simple flow of the animations. The minimal use of colour is extremely effective here and guides you through the core points of the site.

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.

An intriguing design site that allows you to showcase your work and get feedback from the community. I like some of the touted features, the ability to tag a section of a design with a comment is a particular favourite.

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!

A simple but effective portfolio site. The design showcase in the centre works well, as does the gallery section below. I like the uncluttered nature of the site and the manageable content.

Stan the Snowman
A great looking post card site. The images have a delightful hand-drawn feel and really grab your attention. One design element that really appeals to me is the use of custom drawn Facebook and Twitter badges.
