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.

Loïc Sattler's an accomplished designer/illustrator with a love for strong colors and lots and lots of details in his work. In addition to the work, I definitely like how he's laid out the footer area. Very easy to comprehend and still very unique.

Made in ENGLAND by Gentlemen is made by Simon Cook who is very proud of his big moustache. This is essentially his blog where he feeds us with fun and interesting stuff, including some wonderful desktop images. The design is highly detailed and the color scheme is to die for. There's a lot that's worth looking at/reading here, too. Make sure to take a look at the favicon in Firefox!

Image editing for the rest of us. Well not for me, as I'm not a Mac-user. This site is close to perfection on a couple of levels. First of all, it shows us the right way to sell a product; in a clean and delicate wrapping (i.e. site). Beautiful icons and subtle, dark colors combined with striking imagery and a few strong colors. It also takes the style of Mac-related sites (I think you know what I mean by this) to their own place with delicious darkness. The way they present this software makes me really want to try it out, and I think it has a lot to do with the graphics, not the features of the program.

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.

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.

Even though this site really isn't cutting edge as far as web development goes, it sure is cutting edge in the illustration and graphic details department. The quality of the work is truly outstanding. I cannot put into words how much I'm impressed with the graphic details and the textures. This is only surpassed by the unbelievably cool illustrations.

The portfolio of New Zealand born graphic designer Steve Leggat is sparkling with its vivid colors and sharp work. It's a great example of what's needed to draw my attention to a portfolio site. The presentation is clean and simple without being boring.

Base One is a complete communications agency located in London. What strikes me about their website design is the way it is separated. Three areas of operations, three distinct colors. Very nice.

9 rules member Neil Patel write about anything related to online marketing, search engine optimization, and buzz marketing. I've found some good reads on there, and I'm sure to check out some more as soon as I have time. What strikes me most about his site, though, is how unbelievable pretty it is. The graphical details, the layout and the colors are just perfect.
