Halifax Game Jam!
A simple but effective site for a gaming meet up. I really like the illustrative style and the colour palette. The use of classic gaming icons and graphics immediately gives direction to the site.

Sunny Days
An unerringly bright and vibrant site for a sunglasses retailer. The colourful and carefree nature of the images can't fail to make a strong impact. I really like the extensive gallery layout of the rest of the site, the ability to scroll through all the items without changing page is a good touch.

A great site for a design agency that draws you in with its bright use of colours. I like the illustrations and graphic styling of the site, it gives an idea of the style of the designers. The simple five-slide gallery slider works well to showcase recent work.

Solo
A beautifully striking site for a project management tool for freelancers. I love the black text on orange and the intuitive way the site leads you through. There could be a reduction in the opening text, however.

An awesome portfolio site for a freelance designer. The unique approach to layout here is fascinating and works well to get visitors engaged. The entertaining, and slightly tongue in cheek, tagline makes an immediate impact.

Center Of Attention
This gorgeous site is dedicated to the artwork, graphics and logos of record center labels. I love the minimal layout and the way the record collection is thrust immediately into the limelight! The header typeface is excellent and superbly striking while the overall design lends itself perfectly to enjoyable browsing!

Netzbewegung
I\'m in two minds about this site. I like the simplistic header and the contrasting use of orange against the white of the background, but the central slideshow doesn\'t quite fit with the overall design. Having a showcase of your company\'s portfolio is an effective way to hold a visitors attention but in this example it almost stands out too much!

Webportio
This site offers free Adobe Fireworks resources for designers. The site has a fairly simple design, but the layout and colors are really nice and it does not look like your typical downloads site.

Stockholm Hairdresser
This page features an interesting two column layout where the large logo on the left stays static as the right side of the page scrolls. If anything, you should stop by the site to see the crazy haircuts!

Alertful
Alertful is a simple and free service that sends you friendly reminders for anything you need to remember. The page is cleverly designed with sticky notes and a friendly illustrated character.
