Fantasy Interactive recently went and did the only sane thing they could do - they started focusing on web standards instead of all-encompassing Flash-sites. In their own words: "Today in Fi, you will only find Flash in places it needs to be and fits". They will continue to make all-flash microsites. But other than that, I think their work is going to be a lot more relevant from now on ... and a lot more inspiring. What's more, they're now "The Interactive Firm".

Bryan Veloso is back again with yet another complete makeover of his world renowned Avalonstar. Once more he manages to blow my mind with stunning graphics and a truck load of coolness. Bryan is paying more attention to little graphical details than even Steve Jobs' posse. However much I like his designs, though, I still wish Avalonstar would be a little more clearly organized visually. That is, a little less cluttered. It may just be me, but I'm having a hard time finding my way around this beauty.

I think this is the third redesign of purevolume™ that is featured here on Styleboost. While Ryan Sims has been in charge of the previous two, it's now time for Tyson Rosage to step up to the challenge. He does it with style. While this is no huge leap away from previous installments, it now feels more lightweight, a bit tighter and completely delicious. Once again, purevolume becomes an even better site.

Not really a full-fledged site. Merely a holding page teasing us with a new desktop app for web designers. Still, Clearleft decides to throw in some extraordinary alpha png details that make this tiny site a one of a kind that deserves some attention. Try resizing the browser window, and you'll see what I'm talking about. That sweet Gorilla comes courtesy of Jon Hicks. Via SimpleBits.

Dan Cederholm just gave his world famous SimpleBits a brand new coat. It's the same but it's different. The latest realignment by Dan is my favorite version to date. He manages to keep a lot while changing it quite radically. This time he's going for an elastic grid that scales beautifully in my browser. This has to be one of the most impressive site designs I've ever seen. Via Shaun Inman.

Bombia is a small Swedish agency that specializes in beautiful, pixel perfect icon and web design. I'd sure love to hire these guys to help me out with an upcoming project, as their attention to details and quality is world class. Their recently redesigned site runs on ExpressionEngine and is one of the most deliciously pretty tabbed designs I've seen. Ever.

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.

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.

Ars Thanea is creative studio focused on new technologies, creation and design. Based in Warsaw, Poland, the guys behind Ars Thanea decided to make a blog. And what a blog it is! They've crafted, in my opinion, the ultimate "designer's" blog design along with wonderful, outstanding contents. If you're interested in the design scene, this is a blog to follow. I love how they're using Flash for multiple images. A very elegant and clean design. Just how I like it.

Injection is the personal interface design portfolio of web-designer Chan Karunamuni. I first came across this site this summer through the wonderful YouTube player redesign Chan did to show what little attention Google's YouTube designers pay to graphic details. This portfolio is loaded with gradients, gloss and delicious interfaces.
