Here is a pure flashfolio gem. I truly love this one. The big bold type for navigation, the tasty colors, the work in the portfolio, the player interface. It all comes together and makes for a unique and blissful experience. It's simply stunning.

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.

PSDtuts is a site filled with Photoshop tutorials that teach us about creating great graphics and effects in a friendly, approachable manner. I love the color scheme and shiny details. If this site was a dish, I would eat it.

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.

A few weeks ago, FireWheel launched their redesigned icon store. With ex-neubix Keegan Jones on their team, the new site was sure to be a looker with many beatuiful gradients, colors and graphic details. I'm in love with this new look, but I wish they could add some great new iconsets.

A little more than a week ago, one of my favorite tech sites got a major overhaul. In fact, it got a complete overhaul. They changed it all, and they did it with style. This is something disciples of Jakob Nielsen, as well as followers of the Web 2.0 movement will love. It is very well laid out.

Happy Cog, who are the publishers of A List Apart, are back with a sweet redesigned home on the web. A true beauty, both from a color perspective, as well as from an information architecture standpoint. This is what they do at Happy Cog, and finally they have a website that really show this to the world. I love this new design. So clean and so easily digestible.

Nike always bring us great websites, at least in some aspect or another. The Nike+ website is no different. It's a beautiful display of gloss, colors, product photos, flash videos and, unfortunately, a slow and overloaded user interface. I really love the use of red.

This is the official site for BBC Good Food Magazine, where you can search for [quality controlled] recipes. It is not the most creative site I've encountered in my lifetime, but it sure is one of a few information-heavy sites that have a very clear [and beautiful] design profile. The bold use of colors, the great use of photos, the lovely tabs, the graphic details. It all works together to create a great user experience.

A beautiful one page layout straight out of São Paulo. The logo graphic/animation is especially striking, and makes you want to cuddle up with this portfolio site. It looks really great, you probably know how I feel about all-encompassing flash solutions like this one. Everything is done inside one huge flash-file instead of turning to html/xhtml, which makes for an inaccessible and slow user experience. Still, it's a refreshing and lovely site worth a closer look, especially for its aesthetic qualities.
