Robbin and Waldemar are just about to complete the concept-driven Interactive Art Direction course at Hyper Island, and they're looking for an internship. As you can see from the work showcased in their cute, hand-drawn portfolio, they sure have the skills. Impressive, clean and still has a lot of personality.

I stumbled upon this out of the ordinary portfolio on Kitsune Noir a couple of days ago. I'm usually not a sucker for big splash images and intricate ways of entering a portfolio, but this one is just too damn beautiful. All in all, it's a great portfolio with some wonderful work in it. Nick de Jardine definitely has done a wonderful job. But I think the navigation may be too difficult to figure out for non-webdesigners. Am I wrong?

Gowalla have launched their brand new website, just in time for SXSW. It was designed by @maxvoltar, @keeg and @andrewdupont with a great illustration by @dlanham. This is an exceptional site in all respects. It even feels very tactile, which accentuates the mobile apps nicely.

Web designer Joshua Lane just recently put together his personal website in a brand new way. The focus is on his online presence elsewhere, but there is also blog posts and other content on the site itself. I think he's done a great and unusual job with this, and accentuated it with nice textures and wonderful typography. Via Zeldman.

As part of a university project, Chris Armstrong has created this wonderful single page website for a fictional conference. The background effect (it works in webkit browsers, at least) alone is worth a listing here on Styleboost. It's a damn good page showcasing a conference I really wish was the real deal.

Samuel Räikkönen is young and Finnish with an excellent mind for design projects of many sorts. His portfolio is filled with loveliness and is very tastefully put together. This design truly makes use of the format of a single page portfolio, as the projects are all so easily accessible while still having enough images to get a real look at the work he's done.

North Kingdom are probably most famous for their incredible Flash campaign sites. At least that's how I got to know them. Their own portfolio site, however, is built with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript with wonderful results. It's a lightweight, easily navigated portfolio type site that's a pleasure to use. It's beautiful and highly usable without being flashy (no pun intended).

After reading about Why Tumblr is kicking Posterous's ass, I think it's time to post one of Tumblr's beautiful subprojects. BTW Tumblr even has ASCII art in their markup.

One of my all time favorite web designers finally steps out of the dark caverns of Facebook and into the daylight to draw some fresh air - and at the same time manage to redesign his personal site. All I can say, is wow. I am left speechless by the way he has turned his site around. The individual background images of the blog posts/articles combined with the stripped down interface make for one of the best blog designs I've ever seen. Rob also use's Typekit with great success.

Frank Chimero is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Missouri. Frank also runs a blog called Questionable Characters with the esteemed Ben Barry. Frank's site is an example to follow. It's basically a combination of static pages (Home & Profile), Tumblr based pages (Blog & Ethos) and a Cargo based Work section. I love how he's mixed all these together and made it so beautiful and readable.
