Olly Gibbs is an illustrator I love the work that he does. They are so cute and whimsical. I also enjoy his profile page because not only is it super clean and has a basic structure that doesn't clash with his work, but there are all these little perks when you navigate around. The loading icon is a unique image of an arm going in a circle, there's a hand that points to the "shop" button, and the about page comes up in an unexpected manner. My only complain is that his work is on a different site so if click on "work", you have to push the back button in order to get back to his profile.

Marc Thomas is a website designer and I really like the design elements of his website. The main color is a royal purple, which I feel isn't really used as the dominant color from what I've seen. It is nicely contrasted with highlights of yellow, and normally I hate the combination of purple and yellow, but here it works. What really makes it unique is that all the images (icons, web browser) are in outline illustration. I also like the way he displays his work alternating flush left and right. Logic tells me that shouldn't work, but visually I think it's well done.

I really like the modern swiss style of this website because it's very clean and professional looking. The style of the site also goes very well with the style of furniture Bjorn Meier creates and sells. The text for the list of products is a bit big for my taste, but I really like how when you open a category, it side-scrolls as opposed to a normal vertical-scroll. It may not be intuitive at first, but I think it's an innovative way to basically do a list.
