Sunday Publishing

An interesting site design with crazy animated backgrounds and a very simple floating overlay. The typography is what stands out here. The solid mixture of serif and sans-serif typefaces looks really classy.

Mcdonalds

Mcdonalds really stepped up to the plate with their most recent website design. It is modern, clean, and uses superb food photography extensively. By ditching the clutter and letting the food be the hero, they really highlight their products well.

Batebox

The messy desk look has sort of been done to death but this site pulls it off much better than most. The wooden texture is really well done and the all the Photoshop work is quite impressive. The bottom portion has some nice shadow effects you should check out as well.

Wear Wolves

This site features a beautiful black design with a large image slide taking center stage. I love the bright colors, bold uppercase headlines, and running countdown at the top of the screen.

Enliven Labs

An attractive site with a textured denim background and a nice script headline. I especially like the multi-colored bar in the header and the ribbon with the Twitter icon.

Evan Eckard

A nice dark theme with a fading texture background and mixed typography. I like the unique navigation design and the large work samples.

Grata

A simple, minimalist design with thin typography and plenty of white space. The thumbnails add some nice color contrast to the page and make a good focal point.

Its Workable

This site follows the typical corporate web service layout we have seen so much lately, but it pulls it off nicely. I like the colors, large screenshots and simple navigation area. The large sign up button is no doubt a winner for snagging conversions.

Casino Lemonade

This site features a beautiful retro design with an attention to detail that blows me away. All the borders and background art are really intricate and eye-catching, the typography is spot on, and the character art is excellent. Definitely one of the more successfully unique designs I have seen in a while!

Idea Foundry

Idea Foundry is a series of web training classes based in Michigan. The color scheme is attractive and professional, the typography is well planned and the icon strip on the right side of the page makes for a quick visual read of a lot of information. Overall a pretty great design.

Made By Rocket

This design features a large slideshow as the primary visual. The bright colors stand out really well against the muted gray background. Notice that the little text above the slideshow has a letterpress effect but still remains live. An excellent use of CSS to create traditional Photoshop text effects.
