A simple design with strong visual appeal and nice use of contrast. I really like the dark color scheme and the design of both the header and footer.

Director-ee
This site features a bold page design with excellent icon design and a strong layout. The color palette is small and works well. The red in the little link icons really pops off the page.

A simple site with a dark theme and a splash of color under a spotlight effect. The large bold typography is nice and the page messaging is clever.

A nice looking site design with a crazy illustrated monster character that is quite funny and lovable. The best feature here is the integration of different textures throughout the site. Each section has its own background texture but they flow together remarkably well.

A Feed Apart is a twitter feed for all things related to the Event Apart event in Boston. I love the classy design of the page. The insets and shadows give a lot of three dimensional depthe to the design and the color scheme is spot on.

Giving your site a huge full bleed photo slideshow is a simple trick with a big impact. I love the images used here and the minimal sleekness of the whole design. They let their work speak for itself and it does a great job of doing so!

Bam Creative
A relatively simple design that makes a few really bold statements. I love the huge bomb, the bright background color repeated in important places around the site, and the peeling labels.

This is a really unique and completely beautiful page design. The wall of black and white photos really grabs you and each photo becomes full cover on hover. The big, slightly transparent cross on the far right is another great graphical element that brings some bright color to the page.

I love everything about this design. The bright background color, the grunge graphics, the subtle use of texture, it all comes together beautifully. The typography is also quite nice. Condensed fonts often look stylish in all caps and I think it works particularly well for this design.

A nice single page design where the navigation at the top jumps you to different sections of the page. The letterpress headline is really well done and has an unexpected hover effect that serves as the "about me" copy for the site.

Thoughts App
A really beautiful page design showcasing a large version of the app icon in a spotlight effect. I love the rounded hill of books in the background, the slime on the available now button and the overall dark color scheme.
