Poolga is a excellent resource for drop dead gorgeous iPhone wallpapers. It is also a very beautiful site all on its own. What's even more impressive is how it manages to pull this off without competing with the wallpapers for attention. I love the pixel perfect details, the subtle color variations and the most beautiful sidebar in the history of sidebars. Also, if my memory is not playing tricks on me, the site has slowly turned into this beauty over time through small iterations.

A few days ago, Facebook announced that they had acquired Divvyshot. If I'm not mistaken, Divvyshot launched its redesigned site just a few days prior to the announcement. I'm not sure what's going to happen to the new design and the service, but hopefully someone will make use of Divvyshot's design even after Facebook has merged the service into its own photo sharing service. It's a high class quality design that truly stands out from its competitors, after all.

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.

Mark Jardine is a mac loving, character sketching, picture snapping designer living in Silicon Valley, California. His tumblog tells me he loves his iPhone. He did in fact design the beautiful Tapbots interface, which bears some resemblance to this yummy tumblog. All in all, Mark pays a lot of attention to details and has a great taste for layered interface graphics.

The tumblelog of Garrett Murray recently got a visual overhaul. You can tell that this guys likes his Macs just by looking at the visuals. I'm not saying that he's copying Apple's designs, most definitely not. I'm just saying that he's showing the same kind of attention to little graphics and typographic details. I'm also saying that I love how this design turned out. It's a simple tumblelog that comes out on top, and I'm diggin' it.

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.
