Portuguese web designer Ricardo Mestre calls Duplos his "web thingie". I call it a masterpiece. It really is. The site is basically one big animated poster. It's super beautiful, quite unusual (for a website) and surprisingly intuitive to grasp. The animated details work really well.

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.

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.

Slovenian Sara Tušar Suhadolc is a webdesigner at Innovatif who has worked on projects for clients such as Volkswagen, McDonalds, Mercator, Mobitel and many others. Sara specializes in semantic (X)HTML, handcrafted CSS, web typography, newsletter design and occasional Flash animation. I love the illustrations, the colors and all the details (e.g. the clickable monsters).

Happy Cog have been hard at work on the new Visit Philly site recently. Compared with the previous version, this site is the best in the entire universe - in all aspects. I haven't really been able to test this site in a real world scenario, as I haven't visited Philadelphia in 14 years. However, I think they've made some interesting choices in the content shown in the dropdown menus and the content, such as the itineraries.

I'm selling colors, the tagline for Adhemas Batista's portfolio site is very fitting. His work makes powerful use of bold colors often combined with abstract or almost psychedelic shapes and imagery. I've been so lucky to have had the joy of relying on his services a few years ago, and can attest to his mad skills. His portfolio was last showcased here on Styleboost in 2006, but was recently redesigned.

Easily one of the best sites I've seen in a long time. Personal portfolio/blog sites for designers come a dime a dozen, Yaron has created a remarkable combination of colors, illustrations, typography and whitespace. My favorite part about his site is how he has individually designed project page and blog post. Exquisite work.

Carsonified's work with the site to accompany the first official Twitter developer conference is top notch. The hand-drawn style is the main attraction on this site. However, the lovely tweak of the original Twitter color scheme combined with the subtle webkit-animations and the large type makes for a quite spectacular visual experience. This site is spot on and full of character.

Despite discovering this site through Smashing Magazine's Showcase of Web Design In Germany, I find this Swiss site to to be quite a beauty. There are so many details, and the changeable background color is a nice touch.

All the graphic details of the AppZapper site are super yummy. The easing motions of the subnav also works wonders to create an experience almost as smooth as a snow leopard.
