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.

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.

I wonder if this service can keep its promise of helping to create and deliver fantastic email campaigns. But that doesn't really matter when it comes to being listed here on Styleboost. The online home of Mail & go is a true beauty, featuring the same color-scheme as Batman and the elegance of Robin. It simply shows what Mail & go is all about, and it does it with style. It's even got a shiny logo. What's not to love?

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.

This is the promo site for the latest class of students attending Sweden's world famous school of new media, HyperIsland. These site's are launched every year, and every single time they make use of Flash. This could be bad, but in HyperIsland's case, they truly know how to handle Flash, and create sites that push the limits of the technology creatively. The Crew12 site is beautiful and an impressive piece work that in fact pushes the limits of what my laptop can handle, making the transitions a bit laggy.

This website is an outstanding example of how "Web 2.0" design should be used as an inspiration to create something easily readable, friendly, fresh and beautiful. Notice the use of text, colors, illustrations, icons, rounded corners, gradients, big buttons and the classic stars. My only problem with this one, is that it requires me to read a bit of text to understand what it's all about.

Small. Simple. Tight. Beautiful. Those are all words I find fitting for Norwegian web designer/journalist Olav Bjørkøy's blog design. It works extremely well, and is worth a closer look. He even makes good use of png alpha transparency.
