The Cog'aoke event seems to be one of the SXSW side events you must attend if you're going. This thing is a serious event, an "official" SXSW party. The design is incredible, top-notch work. Looks like Happy Cogg is behind the design too, I could be wrong. I love the...
Tick Talk
Pretty cool project! Turns out it's not a real conference, too bad I would love to go check this out. It's an interesting design in that it's not afraid of scrolling (who should be) and it's bold graphic style really sings loudly to me. I like how it engages you as...

Via @Squaredeye We proudly present you with http://blueskyresumes.com. A collaborative work of (@squaredeye @gregpash @emilysmith @seangaffney @ticjones) This website is full of detail and craft I wasn't able to really capture it in one of our short screen cast...

Squids are awesome I must say, they make great illustration subjects. The overall design is based on a lose concept of a 'shadow' which weaves it's way into the design and copy, I like that a lot. It helps that the illustrations look good too, it really keeps you...

Really nice color choices, I love the muted browns accented with the red colors like this. I like the strong two column layout with the justifications on the text going left and right. Really strong look there. I see he doesn't like beer though, booo!
giantantmedia.com
This a really great design. It's minimal and tight yet dirty and open at the same time. The design is nice but recedes so you can take in the reel and other portfolio samples quickly. There's a lot of little detail here and it can be overlooked but that's what I like...
vancouver2010.com
Jay and I seem to disagree, hear it all in the screen cast. Overall Jay thinks it's well done and I think it's overwhelming. To be fair any Olympic site has a ton of content to deliver and it's a huge undertaking for sure. Visually speaking, look and feel wise, we...
Headscape Email
This email newsletter by Headscape is pretty great, the visual design isn't going to change the world but it's effective and to the point. The single best thing that makes this newsletter great is that it's focused. It's a newsletter for Headscape's clients, period....
Element Fusion 10
The 10 year anniversary announcement page for Element Fusion. Honestly If my company made it 10 years i'd create a website to announce it too. Congrats guys! I kind of dig this page, it's function is very much akin to an email newsletter design. The JavsScript time...
wurkit.com
Submitted by Dan Ritz, @danritz. Designer & Developer. The Wurkit is extremely efficient, I'm not normally a big fan of the single page website layout, but when they work they really make you look at all the content. This site does just that, with the video blog like...
bookcoverarchive.com
Aside form being an awesome design resource this design gallery gives you lots of covers to view at one time, the trouble is there's tons of them. I'm not sure the drop-selector really holds together when you get into things like titles of book, etc... Overall though...
freegobbler.com
There's really not much here aside from a nice illustration. Without that the whole thing really falls apart, but that's my point with featuring this site. I see a lot of websites that are just the typical formula for trendy website design, what I don't see a lot of...
Ryan O’Rourke (V3)
I've been enjoying every update Ryan does to his website. Mainly reworking the home page every few months. It's come to be something I expect to see new and enjoy. This one is pretty good, with the large brain illustration. Mainly existing as an introduction page and...

Minimal design, using great little illustrations to tell the story of what the site is about. Pretty ingenious idea and execution of the design.
ligatureloopandstem.com
I love the look and feel of this website, the typography is really great. The detail is superb. What I think is problematic is the side scrolling feature, the little dots at the very top are not quite as obvious as maybe they should be. There's not much that isn't...
New Zealand Int. Arts Festival
Really neat website. This thing is so full of content and interactive functionality it's kind of misleading. The design at first glance makes it look like there isn't quite as much here as there really is. Julia and dig into some details in our screen-cast review of...
siliconprairienews.com
There's a lot going on visually with this site, but it's really well done. It uses a typical/expected blog format to the design. The two column layout also makes it really easy to take in visually and information wise. The drop-down navigation is nice and clean and...
francescycles.com
This design relies heavily on good photography, if it weren't for that the design would fall apart, that's part of the great design of this site. If you have great photography to work with, to tell the story of the company the website is for, it can really be a great...

Oliver James Gosling's website is top-notch. We're loving this one-pager, check out the screen-cast review for more of Julia and my detailed comments. The site was designed by Drop Studio, and for that I couldn't give Oliver enough kudo's. Many developers would go it...

The Sixty One is a very interesting design case. They've taken this site from your standard fare website design to something that's wholly different and engaging. Both Jay and Julia here at UMS had noticed this site very early on, being music aficionados they...
markboultondesign.com
Loving the new Mark Boulton Design website, we loved it so much we recorded a screen-cast review of it. The typography is of course immaculate and it goes without saying that this design uses a strong grid system, it's actually a clinic in both departments. The site...
