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.

The Norwegian Gateway College, located across the globe, recently got a sweet profile + site design courtesy of Creuna. The folding letters and numbers are superb. The same goes for the rest of this sweet package. Lovely stuff from Norway. Sorry, Norwegian language only. However, you may translate the site with Google Translate. Via Webdesignmagasinet.

Pictory is a great project with an incredible design. This is one of those site designs I'd love to call my own. It's big, beautiful, boxy and bold, and still manages to break out of its own constraints. Simply stunning. Via @chrismessina.

Great use of colors and geometric illustrations/graphs. Very clean and elegant solution which leaves attention to the contents. All in all, very nice but not spectacular. Via Drawar.
