I love these types of sketch notes, these are legendary ones too. Eva-Lotta Lamm does some superior sketch note work in this volume. I can only hope they'll keep coming. But the site is very nice as well. The background sketch notes imagery is really fun, locking it...

A bit past the season, but hey I just saw this. Lovely example of how you can create a nice little interactive experience, sell the holiday and not go overboard with animations. The simple slideshow like interactions are just enough to get you clicking around. The...

Super strong graphically bold design. I love the strong lines and heavy set type. The black, white and red on top of the off color background make for a nice stark but inviting experience. The illustrations of the types of things they print on are well done and...

First off the main wrapper dive is called "Beer" that's awesome... 🙂 Love the background, the bubbling beer actually makes me want one. Visually the brand is super strong, the colors and type are perfectly chosen as well. I'm a little disappointed it's just a single...

It's nice to find a website that has a good visual concept and the creators stick to it. I like how this site is put together visually, the concept is fun and solid. Good illustrations help keep you interested and I especially love the animated boiling pot at the very...
whatisyourproblem.co.uk
Fun idea on this site, and fun design too. I like the illustration of the guy in the chair, pretty cool. The split design, using the stripe down the middle of the page give it a nice visual focus to help drive your eye down the page really fast. It's a good focus...
marnavi.it
Super strong blog graphic look to this website design. I love the blues used and the typography feels like it fits really well with the subject matter. Cool icons too, those are just great.
ourswisslife.com
Super fun blog about a couple going to Switzerland for adventure and stuff. The design really lives up to the story as it unfolds too. It's really quite well done and beautiful to look at. I love the colors and typography. It's also chock full of great little detail...
chick-fil-a.com
Nice site for Chick-fil-a, it's a surprisingly simple design visually. The navigation bar is large enough but not too large and the drop downs are all easy to read and use. I particularly like the one for "connect" that's a good use of the drop down to save space on...
kyee.co.uk
Love this minimalist design. The clean and open grid and simple detail work is great. My favorite part is the contact form at the bottom of the page, I love the simple design concepts at work here. Really great single page site design.
city-dog.co.uk
Really cool vibe to this design. The black and white imagery mixed with the old timey map graphic in the background is cool. I like the navigation button designs as well as the large black square marquee items. The site is full of little design details and finish and...

Submitted by: Ben Counsell @bencounsell Role: Designer & Developer We've just recently finished the re-design of our site. We make creative software for Macs. The idea behind the redesign was to give each app more of an identity on the site by using a unique colour...
wigolia.com
I really like the idea of telling a story to get your business' concept across. The wizard Alegramus of Wigolia might be a bit off kilter but it's way more fun to read than the standard "Hi, I'm dude and I kick ass on website stuff..." The design is nicely done as...
liquorcake.com
Submitted by: Craig Fowler @fowleryo Role: Designer I like the tone, the color, the sassyness of everything. All those cakes look amazing too. Nice typography and use of color to control the customer's eye as they view the page and cakes. I also really love the...
weddinginvitelove.com
Really simply executed website and design. I like how easy it is to get into looking at the different invitation designs. The big central ribbon in the design really drives your eye to the search and featured artist. The colors are rich and vibrant and feel current...
logonest.com
Nice strong typography in this website design. I love the stark black and white with the main section having a bit of color and texture. I do think it could be a bit clearer what the idea behind the website is, it might just be that it's largely a type driven design...
campaignmonitor.com hiring
Really great micro site for Campaign Monitor's recruiting. The site is fun, first and foremost, it's great to just go through it, much less dream about working with those guys. Technically the site is pretty impressive, even though it's fairly straight forward in it's...
beautifultype.net
Super great type blog. I love this for some inspiration! The design is a nice simple two column layout that accentuates the posts really well, like it should. I love the soft colors and how it backs up the post images. Love this site!
groupme.com
Really clean layout using a huge image of a shopper and a magnified view of the app's interface to help tell the story. I like that design approach, it almost completes the story without having to explain it to me with copy. The design is simple and clutter free and...
justdot.gr
Cool conceptual design. I like the chalkboard idea here, everything looks like it's written on the board. The background image gives it a lot of depth and really helps sell the idea. The design on top is tight and well ordered. The single page scroller design also...
cornerd.com
Really simple layout, but the illustrations are so much fun. Single page scrolling site that has good stuff all the way down to the bottom, the fixed "up" button is placed exactly right. I love the moster based info-graphic on the team's skillset as well as the form...
opengovernment.org
OpenGovernment is "a public resource for government transparency at the state, city, and local levels. Free and open-source." The design really backs up this message of openness and transparency through the use of light, almost monochromatic graphics, just enough...
weldtheweb.com
This is a very striking site. The bold, large type, rich red and large photos really make an impact on the first visit. The condensed fonts coupled with the italicized serif is a good pairing. When you get to the blog on the left, however, I'm not sure the addition of...
html5lab.pl
There's not much going on here but some HTML5 and a really great illustration, but you know what? That's enough for me... I love this HTML5 machine. I do think the content needs to be extended more though.
neveinspired.com
Children's clothing company by Kris and the ever talented Bob Galmarini (@bgalmar). It's a beautiful design, really sells the handmade craft aspect of the products well. That's important, to effectively communicate what it is you do as well as look great, visually and...
iheartatlas.com
Cool textures and colors. The design works well with showing off the multitude of images in all colors and doesn't compete too bad with it all. I also like the simple two column grid layout.
blog.constitutioncenter.org
Really cool blog layout. I like the single story focus with the top post then going to the two column story layout for other past posts. There are also some other nice smaller details like the banner pieces around the section titles. It's also cool to see a tab...
Georgetown.edu
Georgetown.edu is a site with a huge amount of content. The colors are very traditional, likely matching the official one's of Georgetown University. The red is very strategically used for the search and footer 'scroll-up'. I like that it's basically a big 2 column...
jessicaallan.com
Really simple design, but the illustration work is worth checking out. I love the wolf logo, the eyes! There are some cool little interaction details that make the site deeper than it appears and I really dig the layout where the big image has the box of text flush...
cubancouncil.com
Redesign for IMHO the legendary Cuban Council website. Yeah, these guys are legendary... Hell they did the Facebook logo... This site is visually rich and enjoyable on both content and visual style. It's all been clearly lovingly crafted. I have to say the thing I...
