It's Nov 2nd, election day here in the US so in honor of said day we're serving up both sides of the house with screen cast reviews of both sites: The democrats.org website is very clean and calming. The blues are nicely worked together and the red and other...

It's Nov 2nd, election day here in the US so in honor of said day we're serving up both sides of the house with screen cast reviews of both sites: Upon first look the gop.com website is well done, the graphics are all nicely put together and things seem pretty well...

I love the illustrative look to this blog. It's very accessible feeling and makes you smile as you look over the graphics. It's pretty straight forward in what it's presenting too which really shows off the posts. I Love this stuff.
themify.me
One of the nicer wordpress theme sites i've seen. I love the scale of everything on the page and the display of info is well done on the home page. I particularly like the "slideshow" on the home page too. The sub pages are well done as well with the graphics showing...
Brand New Conference
Aside from looking like an incredible conference featuring some of the long time leaders in graphic design thinking, this is a really beautiful looking website design. I love the colors and large bold type treatment. The blocky mixed with the thin line type is just...
cargoh.com
Pretty good design for so much content and imagery. I like the stark black and white base used in this design and they overall approach to the typography is nice as well. I'm not wild about the design of the drop-down navigation elements but that's about it, the rest...
pubweb.com.br
Interesting layout here with the slide out portfolio section. I really like that detail and the javascript interactions, like the bounce the portfolio has when you're loading more pages is a nice touch. This is a pretty non-standard layout and it's memorable to say...

Nice single page website. I like the way the large graphic tells the story of what Joey can do & showcases what skills you get with him. I'm not sure what the graph (or if it's a graph) really represents, but it looks good - Gantt chart maybe? One other weird thing...

I like the 3D flourishes on this design, having them on the roll-overs is a good choice. I like the color mix here too. I've not seen these colors like these together before - Love it. I also like the half circle lines, they really lead your eye around the page very...
Protein
I really like the rich graphic feeling in the header area of this email newsletter.Then the larger graphics/screen shots that show off the work in the body drive home the quality of the work this firm can do. Having little pieces slide out the top and side of the...
ngenworks.com
The new site for nGen Works is a top-notch example of both design and craft. It's an exercise in subtlety and bold graphics at the same time. The colors speak loudly but there's depth in the details and craftsmanship in the site that I love to see. The horizontal...
Cognition
The new blog for Happy Cog called Cognition, pretty cool naming. I love this design, it's chock full of really interesting interaction detail work and layout elements. There's so much going on here in this deceptively simple looking blog i'll just cross off my...
paulleedesign.com
Paulleedesign.com has beautiful artwork. The layout is a simple, one column tower with muted color and texture. This is pretty ideal for displaying the artwork, which is pretty stunning. Thats pretty much all there is to the site: a beautiful header, a simple...
princestreetfilms.com
Princestreetfilms.com is a site that embraces the simple. This one pager breaks the space into quadrants for different content types instead of having multiple pages. Each 'link' triggers a slider that reveals the hidden content. It's an interesting user experience...
racket.net.au
Love this freaky illustration, love it. The little bubble like 3D elements that are navigation buttons are brilliant looking as well. Somehow this site has a handmade feel at the same time having a very digital vibe, not entirely sure what that means but I do love...
tvlcorp.com
This website is an elegant site with well a ordered aesthetic: emphasis is placed on simple trusty sans-serif typography and whitespace. A judicious use of color livens the space and provides a simple road map to content at the top of the visual hierarchy.
amazeelabs.com
Amazeelabs.com is amazingly fun and illustrative. The site makes extensive use of PNGs to place their artwork and icons. The effect is open and fun. The site is well structured and easy to navigate. I especially like the newsletter, which is a drawer at the top of the...
shawnjohnston.ca
This is the second version of Shawn Johnston's site we've reviewed here for the gallery, first version here. Julia and I did a screen cast review of this version. We both quite like the design. The textures are so nice and we both loved the typography. We discussed...
thereforeiamrock.com
Really nice grungy treatment to this website. I like the large display type in the header area, and the nice texture/grunge there. There might be one too many banner type elements on the design, but they are each well done. I can't decide if it's too matchy-matchy or...
redtiki.com.au
redtiki.com.au is a visually active site. It employs cartoon 3d illustration, subtle flash and jQuery animation and tons of texture. Honestly, the look is fun as hell. I searched around the site just to find all of the tiki dudes so I could watch their loops. Pretty...
saymedia.com
The new Say Media website is really visually striking. Julia and I liked it quite a bit in our screen cast review. The typography is chosen really well to give a nice open vibe. The layout is also very well done and from page to page it's engaging. We were a little...
nirajshakya.com
This is an interesting site design. It comes off like it's way more interactive than it actually is, it's quite straight forward and simple in this sense. I like that about it, it could easily be made to have more interactive trends thrown in, but it doesn't need it...
pop-the-box.com
Pop-the-box.com is simple site to promote Pop The Box, an engagement consultation service. I don't know how that works but i do know that this site uses fairly progressive web typography. The copy and titles are served up through Typekit. It's definitely a better...
chappybarry.com
Gio and I love the Chappybarry.com website. Check out the screen cast review, tell us if you agree or disagree. The first thing that stands out to us, that we love, is that he's using illustrations to tell the same type of story a lot of website designs use text for....
mraxanirumorfest.it
Super simple website, i'm not sure it's not too simple to be worthy of the gallery. But I just love this site. The wolf & arm illustration is so cool looking. I like how since it's a single page site, it's interactive enough with the scrolling copy. What do you guys...
i-am-tiago.com
This is one of those websites where in my opinion the fact that it's a single page scrolling site takes away from it. Simply because I like the design and I want more not less of it. More depth would greatly enhance this website's experience because once i've been...
camdenmilitary.com
The new Camden Military website, done by our friends at Forty Seven Media, . Julia and I review this in our screen cast review, so make sure and give it a listen and see what you think. We both really love this website, it's a perfect fit for this school. Being a...
blackelkstudios.com
Really nice feel to this website. I love the rhythm of the home page as you scroll down. The spacing just feels perfect to me. The background textures and colors are nicely done as well. I like the virb style navigation drop-down design too. It adds some extra organic...
freshme.cz
Really interesting layout here. I like the big blocky look and the interactions are engaging and very smooth feeling. I enjoyed discovering all the little mouse overs and stuff on this site, I enjoyed it because even though there is so much interaction here none of...
Why I Ride
Love this email newsletter design. The orange will really stick out in the noise of my inbox and it's just strikingly beautiful to look at. One issue I find with it is the call to action, linking an anchor to the footer area where the user can choose two directions to...
