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 Wroc?aw, 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.

FreeSwell is the first web development/design agency I can recall that's located on Hawaii. What makes this one take my breath way is the way the background color is so overwhelming, in a good way. It really encompasses the entire site and its contents, but it truly feels good, looks great and makes for a clean and simple solution.

After being dead and/or on hold for quite some time now, The big noob is finally back! This time Brad, Simmy and Keegan make up the crew behind this purrty, purrty blog, despite the fact that Neubix no longer exists. This blog's design used to be one of the greatest sources of inspiration to web designers across the globe. The new version follows up in style and will definitely make sure that the status is maintained. I love the white on dark, the hand-drawn details as well as the general focus on small details in the graphics. Stunning.

Watch the latest Music Video from your favorite artists. Get up to date Celebrity and Music News. See episodes of your favorite MTV Reality Show. The redesigned MTV.com is now a completely different and much better user experience. Bringing in consultants like Dan Cederholm to make sure they're on the right track tells me that the team behind the new site knows what they're doing. Their theming system named MTV HATS makes sure that hot designers give the site a fresh and varied look and feel. This is a great online makeover of one of the biggest media institutions in the world. Refreshing stuff. Via SimpleBits.

Osaka, Japan based 3D-animator and designer of sorts Toshiyuki Kuwabara's portfolio is a wonderful site to add to the Styleboost directory. The layout and colors are outstanding. This goes for the 3D characters throughout the site. As much as I like this site, I would still rather see it done as a pure html/css site instead of all Flash.
