Havana Club
A brilliant landing page for Havana Club, the bright colours and strong photographic imagery certainly grabs your attention. The use of typography is great and adds a layer of authenticity to the site.

ONEFASTBUFFALO
A great site for a design and branding agency. I love the huge focal slider and the sheer amount of design available to the passing visitor. The way scrolling down the site leads you further into the portfolio of the agency works very well.

Fabio Benedetti
A striking portfolio site for designer Fabio Benedetti. The use of grunge textures and dark tones makes a strong statement. I find the focal slider particularly effective, it really absorbs your attention.

Clerk Ink Well
A simple yet effective site for a company that sells letterpress posters. I like the descriptive central graphic and the restrained use of text. The poster gallery is stripped back but works really well to show off the type.

The Original Jubie
An immediately striking site for a web designer. I love the use of illustrations and graphic design, it immediately captures your imagination. Some of the text is a little difficult to read but the jovial nature of the site makes up for it.

A beautiful site for a designer specialising in 'handcrafted' design. I love the illustrations, they really bring the site to life. I particularly like the colour palette, it's different enough to make a statement.

Andrew Lebowitz
A brilliant portfolio site for a print and motion graphics designer. I really like the introductory quip and laid back illustrative style. His personal logo also makes a great impact.

Helmetgirl
A fascinating site for a web designer and illustrator that's sure to divide opinion. The layout is intriguing but doesn't make good use of the screen real estate, I'm not convinced. The illustrations, however, are great at making an impact and holding the attention of visitors.

designPINK
A great site for a creative and graphic design studio. The bold use of colour helps it to make an impact, while the repeated use of the logo cements it in your mind. I particularly like how intuitive and straightforward the site is.

In the Lost & Found
A great site for a self confessed 'curious designer'. I really like the framing of the body of the site by a textured header and footer, they add interest but keep the content uncluttered. Using a small gallery of recent projects is a great way to add life to any design based site and immediately draws in any visitors.

Fanticy
A beautifully twee site for a company that specialises in cakes and decoration. I love the use of quaint illustrations throughout and the handwriting-esque typeface used, it all works perfectly together! I also particularly like the colour palette. Somehow it draws you in and urges you to consider a cake purchase!

Five Dimensions

Toc-Toc
A company site that makes an immediate impact. The use of colour is interesting and the luxurious use of space is compelling! It can be surprisingly effective not to bombard visitors with excessive content.

Sko Design Lab
An excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!

Instix
An interesting site for a web portfolio. The graphic on the right is intriguing and certainly makes an impact but the overall spacing feels slightly off - the redundant gap beneath the header is screaming for attention! Overall, the black and silver approach is stylish but could benefit from some colour.

Concentrate
An incredibly bright software site that makes a massive impact. The orange logo really grabs your attention while the text concisely conveys its message.

This site features an excellently executed retro theme that is both fun and gorgeous. I love the use of colors and illustrations combined with the detailed stroke work on the edges.

Nagoya
I do not have a clue what this site is about but I think it is beautiful. I love the big circle and the representation of Japan. The writing is also excellently rendered and placed. A great pice of design in any language!
