Panoetic uses a textured backgrounds and lots of random but interesting artwork scattered around the page to achieve and almost scrapbook-ish look. The animating thumbnail hover effect is particularly fun to play with and kept me busy for a solid thirty seconds trying to activate all of them at once.

A simple but effective portfolio site that makes great use of a Twitter feed. I like the typography displayed here and the muted grayscale color palette.

This friendly looking site features a rich primary color palette and a very web 2.0 feel. The sketches over the photograph make the space more inviting and lighthearted and the use of icons really helps break up the content into manageable chucnks.

A nice looking site with an interesting mixture of structured and organic design. There is an overall theme revolving around a jagged squiggly line graphic that is repeated in different ways throughout the page.

This simple but stunning web page uses high contrast graphics and deep colors to grab your attention. The hot air balloon is a nice touch and I love that big headline with heavily recessed type.

A really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.

This site using a large colorful gradient with an interesting overlay that makes it look pixelated. I love that this eye-tracking website is implementing its own not so subtle trick to direct your attention toward specific areas.

A really unique looking portfolio with vertical rectangle samples and intense color. The design of this site is quite bold and even features an alternate style accessible via a button in the navigation. An interesting and fun idea!

An interesting site selling icons so the author can get to a design conference. I love the overall aesthetic of the site, especially the typography in the headline. The layout is nice and clean with plenty of whitespace.

This site features a ton of information on a single page, but the info has been organized in a thoughtful and effective manner to avoid a cluttered look. I particularly like the little interactive slider module on the right side of the page.

A nice looking site that is oddly enough all about ugly websites. The design is fairly simple but the color scheme is quite nice and the photography used in the slideshow is humorously appropriate.

The ornate typography treatment at the top is definitely the hero here. The entire page is actually quite fun though so be sure to browse it all, right down to the crazy footer.

It is not often that we feature a restaurant website but this one is quite attractive. The retro circus theme is flawlessly carried out across the textures, colors, artwork and typography on the page. Great idea, awesome execution.

Normally I hate car company websites but this one features a really sharp design that is completely clutter free and quite modern looking. The large photos really speak volumes about the products and grab your attentions and the bold red pulls you down to where there is more information.
