The Hearty Boys

This is a very cool site, monochromatic in the beginning but has full color rollovers that are really nice. I like this site a lot, I like the simple imagery and the colors, I think the type is well done and I think the site is very strong.

This site has been recently redone, this is the update... beautiful images, effective typography, clean design, a great cause, and I think this is wonderful all around! If you decide to add a four-legged friend to your family, please consider this shelter, they do great work!

GIA Publications, Inc.

I really consider this crappy design at some of its' worst! The best part is they have a "web designer" and a marketing person doing this site and it still looks like this! Two words best describe this site... Visual Vomit!

My Logo Design

Well, I finally did it! I completed my logo design—it just took me years to do it but, I am happy with it...

Do we have to have a reason to like something? Okay... I think this is visually interesting, not something I would have thought of, but I like the movement of it, the feel, and the images. You really need to see the entire site.
