I really like a lot of this design, the secondary colors are very subdued allowing the main red color to really shine. There are some good design elements like the jagged shaping around the nav and the horizontal lines on the main copy display area. I do wonder why ... More -

Submitted by Chris Ball @ballzy, Deigner. I really love the "crafty" feel to this design, with the navigation and other elements having a really great "hand made" feel. The twitter bird illustration is a thing of beauty as well. I also love the footer. I think the middle falls ... More -

It might seem surprising that a national design organization website has such a minimal design, but it's a great example of the KISS technique. This minimalist layout places more attention on the content, and the subtle background pattern around the blog excerpts creates a little differentiation between that section ... More -

Great illustration goes a long way on a website. I really like how it tells the story of the service right away. The colors are also "childlike" but not overly so. I like all the detail work on this site, the buttons and colors and little flourishes here and ... More -

Really an absurdly simple website, but that's what makes is work for me. No fancy stuff, just presented work. I also like how all the weight is put on the footer area instead of the header. It's a nice divergence from the standard style of giant headline and ... More -

Well well, it looks like we've found the "unmatched style" of t-shirt designs! Very nice, subtle use of textures and background patterns on this site. The predominantly black and white (with some red) color scheme allows the showcased designs to really stand out. Also, beautifully simple layout and site ... More -

This design isn't new, but I was a little surprised to see that we hadn't put it in the gallery over the past couple years. It's a really great design and one i've looked at quite a few times when looking for inspiration on my own design projects. We ... More -

Good looking portfolio site design. It's simple and clean and I like the way each project is displayed visually. It's gets a little monotonous as there are a bunch on the page and I really would like to see a different detail look at each project other than ... More
