A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.

Ashfall Design
An effortlessly clean and effective web design for a designer and developer. I like the use of typeface and typesetting as the primary way to keep the readers attention. The consistent use of colour and imaginative gallery section really help to set this site apart from the rest.

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.

Minky
The first thing that hits you when this site appears is the header, it\'s fantastic! The kooky custom typeface and the wood effect works really well and instantly intrigues the visitor. I also particularly like the border between the header and body of the site although the company\'s purpose could be made clearer...

Ally Creative
A very stylish site with an intuitive layout. The \'Ally\' logo is a great piece of design while the ever-changing central picture holds your attention. I particularly like how the large amount of empty space surrounding the header allows your attention to be drawn to the focal point of the site.

Fusion Ads Bundle
This Fusion Ads Holiday Bundle is a great deal for designers, offering some fantastic software and icons for an excellent price. The design makes strong use of typography, feels festive, and has some of the most carefully crafted copy I\'ve read in a long time. A must see (and buy!)

Damn Good
This busy but attractive website has a layered feel that brings a lot of depth to the design. There is some really nice illustration work on display and the glossy buttons near the bottom are a nice touch.

Charity Water
This is a beautiful site with a blurry photographic background and lots of contrast. Notice how the designer uses eye contact to draw you in and keeps you interested with large, stunning numbers about the project.

Chris Kinsey
This site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.

Cloverock Design
This site uses attractive typography and bold contrast as the main features of the aesthetic style. I like the rough painted edge of the header and the mixture of old style and slab serif typography.

Vustom
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.

Weberica
The ornate typography treatment at the top is definitely the hero here. The entire page is actually quite fun though so be sure to browse it all, right down to the crazy footer.

Unprinted App
This site is for an iPad app that allows designers to create a digital portable portfolio. The page design is really classy and minimal with nice thin typography and bold contrast with the iPad frame.

Vince Angeloni
The poster theme for this site feels really unique and is extremely well done. The key here is large overstated graphical items that come together in a very non-linear way.

Project Fedena
A nice, minimalist design with a sturdy three column layout and clearly divided sections. All of the graphics on the page are pencil sketches and really bring a unique custom feel to the site.

United Pixel Workers
This site features an awesome and unique design inspired by the theme of a labor union. The main column is split into different sections that are divided by an abstract staggered line that is really creative and attractive. Perfect inspiration for anyone looking for a masculine feel.
