Portfolio of Armin Morbach, hair & makeup artist, publisher and producer. Love the style of this portfolio, really fantastic – parallax scrolling with cool cutout scenery. Nicely interactive and well designed, you really get a nice feeling of depth with the different levels. Essentially a very simple porfolio – but a great looking and effective one, with some nice transitions and effects.

Fantastic typographic intro sequence for the art work of Eddie Goh. The pacing of the animation is really fantastic you really get the feeling of the transcript. The site itself is pretty strange too, but provides an interesting atmosphere to some nice work.

Simple, but cool website of Sydney based studio Design is Kinky. Showcase of their work laid out big and bold – you move around panning your view of the work – which provides a nice colourful overview of their work. I like the large imagery and layout it gives a good impression of the kind of work they do, nice and simple, but with a twist, cool.
Portfolio site of Art Director / Graphic Designer Sebastian Gram. Very nice and simple vertical scrolling website showing his work, you click on an item and the area expands to show screengrabs of the projects. Nicely structured and clean crisp design, to the point!
New portfolio site of British digital agency magneticNorth. Nice approach, using gesture recognition i.e. draw a line and you see news, draw a circle and we see a project. We’ve seen gesture recognition before but what I like about this one is the slickness & simplicity of it all – it just works. When drawing a circle to get a project the shape you draw becomes the mask for the content, where the video / screen grabs then appear in that area.
Created by themselves, Brendan Dawes is the creative director – that kinda helps getting visual concepts like this working!
New site of agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. Pretty cool site of successful digital agency GS&P, this site is a nice example of an agency portfolio, lately a lot of agencies are opting for the html/blog style – but this is full Flash with videos and slick transitions. I like the main landing page with it’s plethora of videos, the search function is really cool, you can search for say a client name i.e. HP and all the projects featuring HP will be highlighted – this search mechanism also works in other sections of the site such as ‘people’ and ‘news’. The ‘people’ section of the site is actually really cool too. Well coded with lots of cool transitions and animation – worth checking out.
Site of make up artist Pepgay. Nice fullscreen Flash site with some beautiful photography, I like the way two images at a time are displayed – many really full of colour and depth. Nice bold typography and bottom thumbnail scroller, also like the way when you mouse over to the left the menu fades up – so when your mouse isn’t active you can see the images in all of their glory. A good example of a portfolio which is slick, stylish, and to the point.

Portfolio site of photographer Hiroshi Seo. Slick timeline based interface which allows you to quickly scroll through thumbnails of his photos. Each of the thumbnails are 3d and flip upwards, much like a vertical coverflow interface, and organised upon time – on click the photo enlarges. Really like the scrolling interface, and the whole minimal slick look & feel. All in all a very nicely made photographers portfolio with some really nice touches with smooth fluid animation, nice interface that fits the content well.

Cool portfolio site of digital agency Resn, from New Zealand. Nicely done, their personality and slick Flash design skills comes through. Like the use of bold typography and nice detailing and animation. Good to see something slightly different and an agency not scared to show their personality…
Mental old school Flash site of Piet Dewijngaert, a Flash guy from Belgium. Featuring lots of nice touches this site harks back to the old days of experimentation and weird interfaces, kudos to the guy for using it in his professional portfolio! Love all the bits of interactivity, transitions and animation.
Portfolio of Darek Nyckowiak, Polish Flash guy. Some interesing use of 3d to show off his projects, giving the option of viewing his work in 3 ways, nice animation and interactivity, all presented in a clean, easy to use way.
Portfolio site of Danish agency Hello Monday. Draggable strips featuring images from each of their projects, you zoom in/out of these to see more about each project. Nicely done full screen site that allows you to drag around everywhere, some really nice projects in here also. Together it all provides a slick overview of some nice projects with a nice interface…
Nice and simple site of photographer Thomas Schmidt. Really like the full screen photographs that sit side by side that you just slide through by clicking the arrows or by using your arrow keys. Divided into 3 main categories the menu is kept very simple and with a nice touch it is on a ‘difference’ blend mode so is always visible. I like the way when you reach the end of the portfolio it zooms all the way to the beginning again…

Portfolio of Swedish agency Soft. Another 3d portfolio, but this one is also pretty cool, with a good parallax and feeling of depth, with elemtents of the design on different layers, and the mouse controlling your viewing angle. Nicely designed and good attention to detail which livens up the archetypal ‘portfolio’ site, pretty cool…
