This site uses a completely unique 3D design concept. The design is based heavily on hard edges and cube-like shapes. The overall effect is quite attractive.

Electric Bike World
I am almost always surprised to find a physical product website that I actually like. This great looking e-commerce site uses great looking design elements, a bright and attractive color scheme and nice typography to sell electric bicycles.

Bold Perspective
This site features a very textured design with some aged paper and other rough areas and stains. As you scroll down you will see some nice faux water color effects and illustrations.

A really nice photo-centric design with beautiful graphics and an awesome color palette. I really like the double column layout and strokes in the actual blog area, it is a fairly typical layout but looks particularly attractive here.

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.

Busy textured design is not easy to pull off but this designer did a great job. I love the combination of the bright colors with the grunge textures.

A nice use of photography to add color and depth to a design. I love the use of bold colors, typography and graphical elements that really bring a unique quality to this design.

Good Gecko
A very simple and clean design with just a touch of silliness with the gecko peeking over the fold. Scroll down to the area near the footer. I like the large screenshot with comments and the nice button design in this area.

Knockout Fitness
It is nice to see a designer put a lot of thought towards aesthetics on a site for a local business. I like the use of shiny red elements scattered throughout the page and the modular structure of the information.

A dark and dramatic theme that uses faux lighting effects and wooden textures to add visual interest. The crazy footer design is a particularly nice and almost hidden touch. Be sure to visit the site and scroll all the way down to check it out.

This site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.

Sharp Machine Media
This site is a perfect example of how good photography is an easy and almost instant way to create classy design. The dramatic photo does all the aesthetic heavy lifting along with some grungy and old style text to support the theme.

Agile Style
An interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.

This site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.

Juleco Design
A really nice freelance design portfolio with a solid layout and some fun illustrations. I really appreciate how well thought the entire page is from top to bottom. The area above the footer is just as nice as the header.

DinoYul
This site features an excellently original design with a Photoshop empty canvas stretched into a 3D environment. I love the visual communication here. You do not need a single word to see that the site is for a female designer who is a little on the goofy side.

Couch Creative
The dark color scheme and use of gradients here makes for a really classy look and feel. The image slider is quite unique and definitely gives the impression of custom design to the site.

A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.

Robert Padbury
A strong but simple page design utilizing a single column. I love how big everything on the page seems. Every element on display takes up nearly the full browser window and the typography is well above normal.

Dawn of Man
A really simple site design overall but the work on display here is quite superb. The artwork combined with the typography remind me a lot of some of the magazine work you saw throughout the early to mid 90s.
