A great site for a web design company, the large image slider immediately catches your attention. I really like the coloured icons depicting the various aspects of their business, and the vibrant designs they have been involved with.

This particular site makes an immediate impact with its strong graphic approach. The paint splashes add interest and colour to what could otherwise be a functional and lifeless site. The consistent graphic style works well, although some of the paint splashes are a little distracting.

A simple but effective site for a company offering templates for photographers, designers, and artists. I like the restrained use of colour and strong layout. The descriptive tag and bold slider both help to get the purpose of the site across immediately.

A striking portfolio for a designer that features an ominously large image of his face. I like the use of colour and shape, the gallery is small but effective as a showcase for previous work.

A strong single column portfolio for a UI/Web designer. I really like the bold invitation to connect socially and the attention paid to typography. The vertically structured gallery works well and gives you time to appreciate each project individually.

A solid site for a venture capital firm that invests in tech based entrepreneurs. I like the divided background, the texture of the blue section really adds interest to the site. The key element here is how quickly you can get a grasp on what it is the company does.

I like the black background that has been used for the site of this creative design studio, it allows the colourful designs to make an impact. The uneven grid layout is effective at grabbing your attention, while the interesting logo further intrigues visitors.

A simple but effective site for a designer that makes an impact with its colour palette and layout. I like the unique layout, having everything aligned right marks this site out. I like the gallery of recent works and the subtle details, such as the moving arrow under the navigation bar.

A brilliant design portfolio for a brand identity designer. I love the minimal use of a grid layout and the way the colour fades in as you scroll. The colour palette is very effective, red on white really makes an impact.

A great site for a custom designed BMX frame. I love the brutal impact that the image has when you first open the site. The restrained use of colour in the background and for the text merely enhances the power of the yellow on the bike itself.

A classy portfolio for a freelance web designer. I particularly like the sketches and consistent illustrative style. The actual portfolio designs might work more effectively in full colour.
