Bryan Veloso is back again with yet another complete makeover of his world renowned Avalonstar. Once more he manages to blow my mind with stunning graphics and a truck load of coolness. Bryan is paying more attention to little graphical details than even Steve Jobs' posse. However much I like his designs, though, I still wish Avalonstar would be a little more clearly organized visually. That is, a little less cluttered. It may just be me, but I'm having a hard time finding my way around this beauty.

Juanma Teixidó's Ten Thousand Things is a blog filled with webdesign, XHTML CSS, books and a few other things. Juanma is Paraguay's finest web designer (among other things), located in Asunción. Juanma recently won Veerle's What is graphic design poster competition, which is how I rediscovered this gem. Through his work for NOS/SUM, Juanma has done some spectacular work.

Not really a full-fledged site. Merely a holding page teasing us with a new desktop app for web designers. Still, Clearleft decides to throw in some extraordinary alpha png details that make this tiny site a one of a kind that deserves some attention. Try resizing the browser window, and you'll see what I'm talking about. That sweet Gorilla comes courtesy of Jon Hicks. Via SimpleBits.

Letters & Numbers is a portfolio site featuring delicious design work by Steve Rura. Based in Brooklyn, Steve has done some quite impressive work across numerous media and techniques. The interface works well. This could all have been done in Flash, but then we wouldn't have been able to check out his source code to learn. Via Kitsune Noir.

Dan Cederholm just gave his world famous SimpleBits a brand new coat. It's the same but it's different. The latest realignment by Dan is my favorite version to date. He manages to keep a lot while changing it quite radically. This time he's going for an elastic grid that scales beautifully in my browser. This has to be one of the most impressive site designs I've ever seen. Via Shaun Inman.

The Department of Printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Poland, wants you to come study printmaking in English. To help convince you, they've put together quite an outstanding little promo site. I love the colors and the animated details. Playful while keeping it simple.

Graphic design and illustration portfolio from Philadelphia. I love the yellow and black combined with the huge background image. Very nice! I've already fallen in love with several of the work samples he's displaying. That illustrative style is so smooth.

A promotional site accompanying a group of Norwegian high school students' teen comedy film project. The site sets a great mood and features a cool ticket ordering interface with interactive seating arrangement. The color scheme is great and the illustrative details are very nice. Via Web Creme.

Marius Roosendaal's design portfolio features work he's done over the last few years. What strikes me most about this site, however, is the level of details in the interface. The two themes (night/day) are both superb. This is one of the most striking designs I've seen in a long time. And it's all done so understated.

Brian Jeremy Kupetz's personal blog/portfolio is designed with a great color-palette and some interesting illustrative details. I love how he's taken the design of the site into the backdrop of the photo. The huge background image works great. A fun and playful design.
