I really dig this big bold design. But at the same time that it's bold it's also quite soft and welcoming. The illustrations are almost 'child's toy' like, setting the tone for a fun experience. The sub pages and especially the blog are well done. Overall the experience on this ... More -

I'm really impressed with the new look for @ronlewhorn's new site: http://t.co/bE2iSl6 - @trentwalton The illustration work is the heart of this website, largely just a portfolio it does the job it was designed for very well. Giovanni and I made a screen cast review fo this website we liked it ... More -

This sports blog pretty much matches up with the overall ESPN visual style. The bold red and blue colors make it visually loud. But since it's focus is much narrower than the main site it can be much more toned down content wise, which is really nice. I like the ... More -

There is a ton of fine detail work built into this website design. It's so very thorough and I found myself spending like 30 minutes all told just looking at all the little corners of this site. Each page while not being 100% unique each time (which just isn't possible ... More -

Found via @TrentWalton What a great portfolio / portfolio site from @phineas: http://octophant.us Animal hybrids have a special place in my heart, so does the Octophant... Super great illustration is the core of this website so the overall design elements shouldn't overwhelm the work, which it doesn't in this case. The subpages ... More -
fe.rocious.com (v2)
Giovanni reviewed the previous version of the fe.rocious.com design so now it's my turn. I love this design, from the colors to the background image it's great. The main navigation layout is really fun, it borders on almost not looking like a navigation, but it pulls it off. Which is really ... More -

Really nice effect with the fixed nav area and the background, I love how they overlay and the way that looks when you scroll. The illustration work is fun and light hearted too. Nice slight transparency in the fixed footer. The sub pages are also different enough from the home ... More
