The oven fresh promo site of the latest graduating class of Hyper Island's interactive art director students is high on concept. Despite the intro video that I find a little bit too far up in the clouds, I think it's a wonderful site. It looks great, feels great and is [probably] a great catalyst for making students focus on what's happening online. Cloudania seems like a great nation with wonderful and very talented citizens.

Robbin and Waldemar are just about to complete the concept-driven Interactive Art Direction course at Hyper Island, and they're looking for an internship. As you can see from the work showcased in their cute, hand-drawn portfolio, they sure have the skills. Impressive, clean and still has a lot of personality.

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).

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.

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.

In the same fashion as JasonSanta Maria, YaronSchoen and Dustin Curtis, Trent Walton individually designs every single blog post/article he writes. Beautiful and inspirational. Now all I need to do, is turn my simple tumblelog into something beautiful, personal and intelligent. Via @paravelinc.

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.

Despite being a Marmite lover, Simon is a skilled Creative Director at Erskine Design. His recently relaunched portfolio is a beauty that really shines through its use of great typography and wonderful illustrations. Via Factoryjoe's Flickr stream.
