Intellisult
An intriguing, if preposterously pointless, site that will generate an insult for your person of choice. I do like the use of typography and nice animations, they add a layer of depth to the experience.

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.
