Miss the stars
A great site for a music blog about hardcore, screamo, punk, and indie. I really like the simple layout, it makes it easy to grasp the purpose of the site. The large photographic slider works well to grab the attention of casual visitors.

A brilliantly engaging and striking site for a design agency. I love the sharp contrast between the colours and the unconventional layout. The use of typography is great, as is the use of a single case study.

Cultural Solutions
A brilliant HTML5 site for a creative and cultural consultancy. I simply love the colours used for the background and the way it adapts as you move down the site. The information is all clearly displayed and the site just flows.

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 clean and straightforward site for a web designer. I like the clean layout and great typeface used throughout! There are some nice details further down the site such as the thumbnail gallery and paint brush graphic that add some interest.

Print Handbook
A brilliant site design that features some really nice detail. The coloured \'buy it\' buttons are great, as is the execution of the three column approach! I love the fresh approach to layout shown here, the site guides you left to right across the columns rather than straight down the page.

An excellent portfolio site that immediately draws you in! The use of a gallery as the central focus works and brings colour and life to the site. I particularly like the little details that make all the difference. Details such as the arrows that guide you in and the ripped effect of the gallery items.

Spreadt
The handmade paper look of this site works well with the use of a custom typeface. I like the torn paper effect and use of light blue and pink to highlight the key headings. I also find the use of punctuation in the logo helps to make the company name recognisable.

Codehero
A site that needs using to fully understand the design - with each section coming to life as your scroll over it. I love the contrast of the blue and red with the black and grey of the rest of the site.

Justdot
This site uses an awesome and original chalkboard theme absolutely littered with great texture and custom sketches. The theme idea could have easily come out very poorly but the execution here is top notch.

BSA AdPacks
A wonderfully retro design from BuySellAds advertising their new AdPacks program. The artwork really nails the time period they are shooting for and once you start looking at the finer details you can tell that they put a lot of work into the design.

A really unique looking portfolio with vertical rectangle samples and intense color. The design of this site is quite bold and even features an alternate style accessible via a button in the navigation. An interesting and fun idea!

National Money Helpline
This site features a ton of information on a single page, but the info has been organized in a thoughtful and effective manner to avoid a cluttered look. I particularly like the little interactive slider module on the right side of the page.
