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.

Here's a website design that makes all-encompassing use of illustrative art with great success. Web Designer Wall is designed and maintained by Nick La, who also runs N.Design Studio and Best Web Gallery. The idea is to inspire. Via Shaun Inman.

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.

Toronto based Nick La's portfolio/blog/playground is an outstanding work on its own. It is a design that has a great deal of details and an amazing color scheme for such a clean layout. I only have one issue with this one; the ads. They seem cluttered and random, and take up way too much of my attention while I'm visiting the site.

Its inventors claim it's a smarter, fairer and better way of lending and borrowing money. Whether this is true or not, I can't tell you. But I can tell you that its friendly and appealing design definitely strengthens my trust in the business and the idea behind it. It's not the only business of its kind, but it sure is the best designed. In fact, its design beats all finance-related websites I can think of as I'm writing this.

Self titled is John Iacoviello's Flash masterpiece as far as wrapping and navigation goes. Play around with, I know you'll love it. The details and ingenuity of the navigational system he's developed is so playful that I always end up clicking my keyboard and moving my mouse around for minutes on end without feeling the urge of accomplishing anything.
