I stumbled upon this out of the ordinary portfolio on Kitsune Noir a couple of days ago. I'm usually not a sucker for big splash images and intricate ways of entering a portfolio, but this one is just too damn beautiful. All in all, it's a great portfolio with some wonderful work in it. Nick de Jardine definitely has done a wonderful job. But I think the navigation may be too difficult to figure out for non-webdesigners. Am I wrong?

One of my all time favorite web designers finally steps out of the dark caverns of Facebook and into the daylight to draw some fresh air - and at the same time manage to redesign his personal site. All I can say, is wow. I am left speechless by the way he has turned his site around. The individual background images of the blog posts/articles combined with the stripped down interface make for one of the best blog designs I've ever seen. Rob also use's Typekit with great success.

Frank Chimero is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Missouri. Frank also runs a blog called Questionable Characters with the esteemed Ben Barry. Frank's site is an example to follow. It's basically a combination of static pages (Home & Profile), Tumblr based pages (Blog & Ethos) and a Cargo based Work section. I love how he's mixed all these together and made it so beautiful and readable.

Easily one of the best sites I've seen in a long time. Personal portfolio/blog sites for designers come a dime a dozen, Yaron has created a remarkable combination of colors, illustrations, typography and whitespace. My favorite part about his site is how he has individually designed project page and blog post. Exquisite work.

Carsonified's work with the site to accompany the first official Twitter developer conference is top notch. The hand-drawn style is the main attraction on this site. However, the lovely tweak of the original Twitter color scheme combined with the subtle webkit-animations and the large type makes for a quite spectacular visual experience. This site is spot on and full of character.

Another fantastic single page portfolio. What really makes this one stand out is the super bold navigation (= excellent typography), as well as the high quality of the works shown. Truly bad ass work by ex-TDR designer David Bailey.

This is my current favorite site on the entire world wide web. The text size, the whitespace ... the perfection. Oh what a beauty!

Here's a one-of-a-kind single page portfolio. It's all laid out as one expanding horisontal list of works on display. The navigation works really well and the images are of a high enough quality to make us really drool over his designs. I'm missing permalinks to each project, though. And I would love to be able to right click the images and save them in my "graphical inspiration" folder.

With Twitter gaining a huge boost here in Norway lately, I think it's about time to add a beautiful Twitter related site. Twistori is a real time visualizer that pulls and displays tweets that contain the words love, hate, think, believe, feel and wish. It works really well because it's visually outstanding.

Maybe it's me, but I can't seem to find very many well-designed standards compliant sites out there done without the use of Flash. Here's a goody with flawless code and completely validating xhtml/css. It's beautiful, too.
