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...

johnnytwoshoes.com

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.

machinerylink.com

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!

applicomhq.com

The Applicom site is a great example of a clean corporate looking design that has some flavor at the same time. The illustrations and bold copy make it just different feeling enough. It's a simple design but has some character. I like that.

springhouselaw.com

The headline touts that this is a "fresh approach to employment law" well the design is certainly fresh in the realm of legal website designs. The full on green isn't something you come across in legal website designs. This typeface and the logo design itself is also...

rainypixels.com

I like the off kilter layout of the elements on this home page. That and the quirky illustration work make this a pretty cool looking website. I love the "writings" list page design. There's a lot of craft in this simple looking layout. Great stuff.

neverendesign.com

Really nice subtly designed website. I love that this design makes Georgia look really beautiful. The thinly worked lines in the illustrations really just go so well with the colors and type it makes me smile.

eighthourday.com

I love this website, the layout is clean and simple and has some really nice clean typography work. The overall design seems to really play off the work shown off, even amplify it somehow, that's just cool. I love their blog too, some really great images to fill your...

hardboiledwebdesign.com

This is the website for Andy Clarke's 'Hard Boiled Web Design' book. I just ordered mine and am waiting patiently to get it in the mail. The website design is fairly straight forward, and it mostly a working site to back the book up, with links to video content to...

commendablekids.com

Cool looking design here. I love the color palette, it's very inviting feeling and cool. I like the way the picture of the kid is worked in too. There is also a ton of neat design going on here with all the badge work, very neat stuff. Especially when you see that it...
