Fun looking website design. I like the mouse over animation on the clouds, that's a nice little detail to discover and really adds depth to the design. It's really a pretty simple layout accentuated with those fun elements, it's a nice combo.

This website is absolutely beautiful. Those illustrations that as far as Giovanni and I can tell are hand made and photographed. Just fantastic. The site is broken up into two large halves basically, the top is dark and contains some nice imagery and beautifully...

Wade a Retrospective

Interesting visual experiment, bonus points for it not being a big image, but discreet HTML/CSS pieces. It's cool to look at how these simple lines and circles clearly explain what type of guy Wade is and what he's made of.

Really fun animated website. These guys are really into javascript animation and it really shows. The illustrations are fun and look good lending a very laid back and fun atmosphere to these guys. Then the majority of the site's content is loaded into an animated...

Really cool typography driven design. I think the single page scrolling lends it'self to telling the story of what this site is selling pretty well. The stark red, black and white is also lends some strong graphic impact.

rollingstone.com

A surprisingly much simpler layout for the new Rollingstone website. I love the grid & modular design. Using the logo in the header area as a background image like that is also really nice. The logotype is so recognizable we don't need to see the entire thing to know...

Found via @theAmazingBen. I think this site is a nice example of a pretty elegant use of @font-face. It's using Modernizr too, which I like seeing that for whatever reason. Aside from that it's a nice looking design. It uses some illustration and info-graphics around...

I just love these super looking pencil line illustrations, you can just feel the graphite on it. The 'old timey' vibe is also communicated really clearly with this look & feel. WIth a name like that you've got to commit and this design does that without being too...

Aside from having some marvelous games Johnny Two Shoe's website is great. I love the game art all over the site and the typography just melds it all together perfectly. The site is actually not too complex in both presentation and execution but it's the content that...

makebetterapps.com

Really nice display of content on the home page. I love the grid layout of the app interfaces that just scroll down the home page. The fixed header nav is a nice touch on this site too as well is the red drop down menu design. Just a really nice and clean design.

I like a lot of aspects to this design. The colors are dark and crisp feeling, as well as are the graphic elements. There are some content holes it looks like and the contact form is a little uninspiring. I include it here because I just like the overall vibe of the...

designlab.mailchimp.com

Just a fun looking blog design from Mailchimp. I love the pixel art they've used and the vibe is just flat out fun. You know instantly from the look of this thing that you're going to get some great content from this. Super Great ASCII art in the CSS file too. Woot!

Never mind the subject matter of this website, the typography is beautiful. I love the simplicity in it's presentation and the subpages are arranged beautifully.

Really nice worn out look, the textures and line work is done really well. There are some nice little details across the site too. Like the image boxes and the frayed edges around the main box areas. I think the navigation placement is hap hazard though, it's nice...

intense-engineering.com

I like the little line based illustration work across this website, it reminds me of one of those technical drawing notes areas. The dark background works pretty well for the feel of this site too, that is selling the heavy technical side of the company. I like the...

majesticmadison.com

The feel to this website is amazing. I love the type treatment and texture that it carries. Just wonderfuly done. The fact that it's mostly black/white/gray also really adds to the visual punch. Then the small red items for interactions and call outs really stand out....

adamtolman.com

Really nice level of detail on this single page portfolio site. I like the wood background for the header and footer areas. The little "slider" like switcher for web vs. print portfolio is a super nice touch. I'd love to have seen the print work setup. Great site here.

There isn't a lot to this website, or page, but what's here is gorgeous. I love the black and white illustrations it's all so simple and tells the story of what he can do for you quickly. Love it. The only problem is I want more!
