Nice looking iPhone app website. I like the big logo and the way all the elements share the same nice rounded corners. The Twitter bird/illustration is also fairly unique and it's placement is rather clever - making it stand out so.

There's so much I like about this site. I love the colors and background image, very nice. The top most section, where the featured clients' quotes are placed is really smartly designed. I love the logos that interact with the " "speech bubble" type effect pointing to...

I love the giant image placement used on the home page of this site design. The clean type and simple navigation design set the big image off. Some subtle use of JavaScript just for the fade too. I would love to see more difference in the sub page layouts, but overall...
Gowalla.com (v2)
Jay and I both really like the new Gowalla site design. Get some more details in our screen cast review here. Overall we love the changes, the lighter coloring, the section with the different platforms that you can download the app for and the "Live on Gowalla"...

Really great looking typography balanced well with some nice imagery for each post. The big drop down selector/navigation that turns into a mega-dropdown type thing is also pretty well done. Once critique would be that I have no idea what the site is for, I'm assuming...

This is a really heavy illustrative email newsletter design. I like the big heart graphic and the main body text on the right like that. The wood background is a little out of place but it's probably more interesting in the end than just a flat color. You can check...
McCormick Theological Seminary
Submitted by Lizy Gershenzon, @ejgershenzon. Designer. There's something to be said for making a nice clean layout and using web safe fonts how they're supposed to be used. This is just a nicely done, workhorse type design in my opinion. Good grid and underlying...

Submitted by Jim Gun, @visualelixir . Designer & Developer. Interesting single page layout, i'm curious why the need for the navigation at all though. I do love the background texture it's so rich and that dark green is nice. I like the big imagery and big element...

Illustrations aside (which are badass) this is a really nice looking blog design. I love the angles used in the background played against the white shape of the blog itself. That navigation is interesting, with the arrow in the circle opening up the categories. The...

Pretty straight-forward design. I like the way it harkens back to a time that dates with the main illustration/portrait of Darwin. They type supports this and is fun at the same time. The illustrations are all very nice and fitting as well as the coloring chosen. It...

I really love the giant over sized background/pattern that matches the logo. It's really unique and reminds me of a bulls-eye which is smart given their services center around marketing. About that, it took several readings to figure out what exactly this site was...

I think this is a really good site design, it looks pretty good, has a nice clean grid and some tight little detail work - like with the modal window on the main video. While I don't necessarily like the type pairings, particularly how they go with the logo type, it...

Really nice re-design of Monday By Noon. I've enjoyed this blog for quite some time now and was very pleased to discover the new look. It's nice and crisp and the colors make this site very easy to read. While it's like 95% text, I think it's broken up well enough to...
