The latest iteration of Virb's visual design is downright fantastic. And I'm actually surprised, because this is — as far as I know – the first design process at Virb that hasn't been led by Ryan Sims. The Virb team has once again done an amazing job that positions Virb as the most droolworthy CMS in this crowded field.

Twitter UI designer Mark Otto recently released an add-on pack for LESS that is sure to simplify the development process for a lot of Styleboost's readers. That in itself, however useful, does not make this worthy of posting here. But Mark designed an irresistible site to accompany the software, so now I'm left with no choice but to post it here. You should also follow @mdo on Twitter.

Netlife Research is a UX/UI consultancy based in Oslo, Norway. In the past I've found their work to be more focused on usability, IA & content strategy, rather than aesthetically pleasing designs. And they've been doing a damn fine job with that. But now, with the recent redesign of their own website, they seem to have stepped things up in the aesthetics department as well — in part thanks to some fantastic illustrations by @PabloLobato. They've written a post about the redesign in Norwegian.

DeviantART is not only a great resource of icons, wallpapers and other great and not so great examples of digital art. The site was just revamped with a much lighter visual footprint. I haven't had a chance to try out the new navigation thoroughly yet, but I'm a big fan of the thoughts behind the new realignment. The user should be in charge to the greatest extent possible. Just like the previous version, the interface is still very beautiful.

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.

All the graphic details of the AppZapper site are super yummy. The easing motions of the subnav also works wonders to create an experience almost as smooth as a snow leopard.

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.
