Really incredible illustration work here in this portfolio and it's really shown off with a nice website. The site design doesn't get in the way of you taking in the work but it has a really superior level of detail and craft as minimal as it is. Great work both to...

Really nice and simple professional website. It's clean and with the torn edge around the nav elements and slight illustrative qualities it's unique enough to be memorable when you come back to it. The photography is also nice and it looks professionally done - not...

I'm not totally sure what to make out of this site design. I like it, I like the experimental quality of it. I like that I can grab and move the page around. I don't like how I feel lost as to what content i'm taking in, I can make no kind of mental model of the site...

Pretty intense background patter, I do dig the effect, I just wish it was all done with much crisper graphics. I like all the boxes that all the content appears in, it's a necessity with the strong background but it's a nice feel.

All in all this is a pretty simple website. There's not a ton of visual "effects" or color, but what's here is placed very well. Now there are some elements that are graphics that I think could or should have been live text, using some alternate text technique but it...

There's really not much to this site, but the slide show aspect of it keeps it fun. I don't normally go for sites that use the side scrolling slide show thing as it's main draw like this, but the illustrations are pretty nifty and the fact that the site is for toys...

Nice blog design with lots of great little detail work. I like it when you see a design and can notice the craft that went into it, this one has what feels like tons of time put into the detail. From the mouse over on the logo/butterfly to the little flourishes in the...

This site is in here just for the form on the page. Don't get me wrong, I like the rest of the page design, it's nicely done. But the form has a lot of intricacies that deserve some attention. The mouse overs are well done and placed for the different service levels,...

This is just some straight up minimalist type design. I love it, it's right on the line between being overly minimal and not. I like the little patterned out areas, like in the footer and advertiser block. I love the small details, like the lines around the corners of...

Really like the high craft and finish in this site design. It's just one or two pages but there's a lot packed in on here. From the nifty typography (using @font-face nice!) to the really finished looking detail work this site just feels right. I really liked the...

This website is gorgeous! I love the monochromatic colors and the simple feel to the design, it really masks the volume of detail work found around the website. Each sub page is as equally well done as the home page too, so you really need to look through the whole...

I'm loving the stark clean lines and minimal aspect to this design. Now I've seen this type of design/layout many times, but this one somehow comes off as looking fresh to me. Maybe it's the red and teal colors together in the small amounts or that particular typeface...
armitageonline.co.uk
Both Julia and I think the site is interesting, check out the screen cast for the full review, it's almost too much visually but generally it comes off looking fun. The almost oversized type and loud coloring sets the tone for this agency I think. There is still a...

Neat single page website design. I really like the way the grid is used here. The nice grid lines in the background image and the way it's broken up into the smaller icon like image sizes gives it a neat fresh look to me.

There are a ton of great details here on this website. From the background to the footer it's a fairly well crafted design. Julia and both like the site and cover it in more detail in our screen cast. Generally we were impressed with the clear amount of time that went...

I love the headline on this site "shut up i'm talking" I feel like that sometimes too. I love that this is a Tumblr site and that it's using the Google Font API service. Generally I like the design, I like the light type choices and the icons (the big mic icon is...

Neat HTML5 site here. First off all, Julia and reviewed this in our screen cast and the skyline was dark (nightime) and I as I write this post it's set to daytime, that's a really nice touch. Also Droid Sans... We both loved the vibe of the site, the illustrations are...

Pretty cool single page scrolling site. I like the illustration in the header, that's a really well done element that makes the whole design go. I also like the sketch like lines around some of the design elements, that's a nice touch.

Pretty cool single page website for a copywriter. I like the "pepperminted" concept and the light pink color for the two sections of the page. I'd love to see more depth in the site and some work samples, and that's to be taken as a good thing for sure!

Submitted by Harry Ford @harryford, Designer. I have been working as a web designer for 3 years now but have hardly anything to show for my illustration so thought I would put this site together. hford.co.uk is more of a business card for myself than a portfolio. Have...

The thing that hits me on this site is the wonderfully crafted information architecture that supports this website. The design is top notch, I don't want to take away from that, the IA is just beautiful here. There is just a huge amount of content on this website and...
harryroberts.co.uk (v2)
New version of Harry Robert's site. Harry's style is always clean and minimal. I really like this more simplified version of the site. Doing a minimal design isn't as easy as it looks since you need to make sure the elements you've actually left on the page are top...

I love the Dantes Inferno inspired concept. The fixed navigation element being set off in the different color makes for a dramatic effect. The scrolling aspect to the site is well done here in my opinion, it actually adds a great deal to the overall design. The site...

Love the pink and black colors in this website, and the monster illustration for the "G" is awesome. I feel that some of the smaller size implementation of the copy in the main type can get a bit taxing on your eyes to read, but overall I like the type selections, it...

This website is a great example of having almost too much stuff going on visually. Don't get me wrong I like the design, the colors give it an interesting vibe and the imagery is just sharp. I really like the search box design in the header. Generally though, some...

I love the clean crisp feel to this design, all the lines are just so nicely placed. The basic interactions over the work samples on the home page are just right too. I also really like the red and gray colors/combo here, it's start and yet at the same time vibrant....

Pretty neat design, the large image used in the background also serves to set the tone of coolness and openness for the design/brand. I like that each sub page has been edited visually and new elements are brought in on each, but in some of the page it feels a bit...

Submitted by Brad Haynes, @bradhaynes. Designer. This site has a nice feel to it, I love the wood and wood textures used on this site, it sets the mood exactly for a cabin-like feel getaway, even though it's a resort.

Really beautiful design, with some really great illustrations. I love the textures and the earthy colors mixed with these specific illustrations make this site sing. I'd love to see more variation in the illustrations from page to page, having just these two basic...
