A fascinating approach to a design portfolio. I love the twist on the grid concept that's been implemented here! The use of fragments works well to give any prospective clients a taste of this designers style.

Bjarke Clauson-Kaas
A well structured and intuitive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the use of colour and motion that the arrow elements give the site. The gallery is simple but functional, with colour fading in as you scroll over an entry.

egopop
A fascinating site for a creative studio that, for better or worse, makes a strong statement. At least the navigation is simple and concise. The vivid colours and childlike graphics are engaging but may put some people off.

Tinkering Monkey
A great, and gorgeous, site for a pair of designers and their woodworking studio. I love the custom typeface and consistent use of colour. I like that the gallery of pieces doesn't use borders, it helps the products to make their own impact.

Mostly Serious
A clean and clear portfolio site for a web design agency. I like the simple background and intuitive layout, although there is perhaps a little too much space between the logo and the 'Work' section. I like that the purpose of the site is immediately clear.

Unfold
A fascinating site for a creative agency that has to be experienced to be understood. The use of colour is excellent, the pink really making a statement. There are certainly some interesting ideas that have been implemented here.

An immediate and striking site for an interface and web designer. The large slideshow of quotes and ideas really helps to draw visitors into the site. I particularly like the twist given to the social networking icons!

Auxilium Lab
The typefaces used here are what make this site. As a site for a creative web development agency it's effective at getting across its design philosophy. I particularly like the subtle use of colour and straightforward gallery of previous work.

Turks & Caicos Sporting Club
A brilliant and superbly effective site for a sporting club in the British West Indies. The large photographic slideshow can't fail to make an immediate impression! The site navigation is stylish but reserved, helping to keep the stunning visuals at centre stage.

Dotvita
Dotvita aims to \'make ideas aerodynamic\' and their site perfectly reflects this by following an airline theme. I love the gorgeous layout and beautiful use of icons and little details. The slightly abstract header instantly intrigues any visitor to the site and makes you want to investigate further!

If I Build It
An awesome and immediately striking site for a solo web developer and designer! I love the slogan and the effective use of text in the header. The use of a single highlight colour works really well here, the yellow details help to hold a visitor\'s attention without bombarding them.

Eveline 1911
A whole site devoted to a boat! The map based background adds interest while the fundamental content is easily readable and contained with the central boxes. I like the straightforward use of a header for all navigation purposes.

Bento for Mac
Bento is personal database management in true Mac style. Filemaker really stepped up and addressed the complicated nature of their apps and made Bento both beautiful and simple to use. The sheer array of options for customisation is awesome!

Deez Harman
A straightforward but undeniably effective portfolio for a web designer. The intuitive header is good and I like the size and readability of the main typeface. The coffee mug and cookie design is a nice touch and adds interest to the focal area of the site.

farrkling
The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

Spreadt
The handmade paper look of this site works well with the use of a custom typeface. I like the torn paper effect and use of light blue and pink to highlight the key headings. I also find the use of punctuation in the logo helps to make the company name recognisable.

An incredibly bright software site that makes a massive impact. The orange logo really grabs your attention while the text concisely conveys its message.
