Talk about getting out of the way and putting the content first. This site is just a big grid of UI samples. Click on any thumbnail to view a larger screenshot and project details.

Small Studio – Graphic design for print and digital in Melbourne, Australia

Nice side scrolling site that looks more like magazine layouts than web pages.

Sony Tablet S – An Android Tablet Like No Other | Sony Electronics

One page parallax sites like this were all the rage a year ago. They're still really cool, it's just hard to come up with a practical implementation. This is Sony's Tablet S experience site and the technique works here to promote and market their tablet as a cool and modern experience.

Soulwire » Experiments in Code

Justin's portfolio site is very impressive. Because he's showing ways in which he can push envelopes, the site unfortunately requires the latest and greatest browsers. Given his target audience and what he's demonstrating, that's probably okay. You should check it out (using Safari or Chrome of course).

Veerle’s inspiration stream

Nice collection of inspiration and a nice implementation of her own inspiration gallery, rather than linking to an aggregator site.

15 years VIB: Event and 9 Books on the Behance Network

I can't believe the amount of work that went into creating this event and the nine books that went with it. It pays off though. The design is fantastic. They drew each page on a giant chalkboard, shot it, then erased it and drew the next one.

HTML5 and CSS3 – Adobe – The Expressive Web – Beta

This site is doing ridiculous things with canvas and is just generally cool. It also provides overviews on specific CSS3 and HTML5 features.

Grind | Work Liquid | A workspace for free-range humans

Love the design of this site. Nice, subtle use of parallax. Beautiful transitions, simple graphics, bold use of black, white, and orange (without feeling Halloween-y). I'm really scratching my head over the lack of a mobile version but the desktop version is still inspiring.

Not all web design inspiration should be websites.

egopop _ Portfolio/Work/Showcase

I got to the EgoPop portfolio via a Design Shack post on unique galleries. I really like it. I like the different levels for featured, creative, and photographic. Something like this could work well for my own portfolio.

50 Creative and Inspiring Thumbnail Galleries

Nice collection of thumbnails that are not just spaced out squares on a grid (although there are some of those too). The design of the galleries and even the design of the content of the galleries are both inspirational.

Create gorgeous infographics about your iPhone photos, with Photostats

Pretty app makes pretty graphics based on your iPhone photo usage. No idea if the app is any good or not or if it works with other iPhone apps like Camera+ or Instagram. I just like the charts it makes.
