A simple but effective portfolio site. The design showcase in the centre works well, as does the gallery section below. I like the uncluttered nature of the site and the manageable content.

A great portfolio site that effectively uses coloured borders to grab your attention. The logo is simple but is recognisable and makes a good statement. I particularly like the fun central illustration.

Alexanderkryska
A good portfolio site that utilises a scrolling central display. The use of a photograph of the designer in the background is effective and makes a good statement. I particularly like the bold typeface and use of text throughout the site.

Web Effectual
You expect design portfolios to be good and this is no exception. The bold use of text and colour makes for a friendly and welcoming site that urges you to read on! I\'m not a huge fan of the background colour but the beautiful typefaces used throughout more than make up for it.

A brilliant site for a graphic and web design studio. The slideshow of portfolio designs acts as a great focal point. The logo is well sized and works well against within the overall layout.

An extremely stylish portfolio site. It exemplifies great use of space and a neutral palette. Of particular note is the use of a large portrait as the focal point, something which I find really works!

Brokedesign
An outstanding design portfolio site. Immediately draws your attention to the dramatic design in the centre and leads you to enquire further. The use of polaroids as thumbnails is great and I also like the contrast of the bright primary colours with the black and white interface of the site.

Viccolla
A ridiculously minimalistic site with a centred logo and a clear description of the company. The logo is a great focal point and the simple layout guides users straight to the portfolio and testimonials.

A bizarre but attractive portfolio site with plenty of stellar work on display. The heads are used as a recurring theme to show the relation of visual design to UX in each project. An interesting idea!

A nice looking portfolio with an interesting theme. I actually like the footer best and have featured this portion of the site above.

We do not see many painter portfolios so I wanted to feature this one. There is some really nice work on display and the site is fairly well designed. I particularly like the Apple-like 3D display of the art pieces near the bottom.

NeedStyle
A refreshingly original designer portfolio with lots of personalization. Obviously, the large letterpress effect is the hero of the design and really grabs your attention with contrast.

AW Digital
A fantastic portfolio that utilizes a dark theme and has a lot of solid design work on display. There are a lot of interesting hover effects throughout the site. When you hover over objects, they take on a digitized effect that is quite nice.

Icon Moon
A great looking page that serves as the portfolio for an icon designer. I like the cloud theme, the smooth slider and how the moon in the logo changes to a house on hover. Lots of great design work here.

Dropr
Dropr is a new site for creating multimedia-drive portfolios. The design utilizes an attractive and ornate illustration style with colorful animated raindrops falling from floating sketchy clouds.

Sylvain Toulouse
A nice looking grid-based portfolio that changes color every time you refresh the page. The hover effects drop the color overlay and show the artwork in its true form. A nice effect that really brings focus to where the mouse is.

This site uses a giant iPad to display the designer portfolio. To mimic the functionality of the real iPad, you click and swipe to advance to the next image; a clever idea!

Chris Kinsey
This site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.

Dave Montgomery
A fairly simple but attractive portfolio page with a horizontal image slider as the main visual element. Note the repetitive use of the dot pattern and the generous use of whitespace.
