Once in awhile it’s always good to do a little self horn-tootin’ and also recognize those who deserve a little horn-tootin’ of their own.

Hey, Brian!
Very nice roundup — you’ve included some favorite Usual Suspects (Happy Cog, Jason Santa Maria, SimpleBits) and some folks previously unknown to me (like Jessica Hische — wow).
Cool round up some absolutely beautiful work in there!
What about the mighty Preview - http://www.preview.co.uk - i hear they are amazing!
Nice list you have here, some huge agencies in there! Maybe you could split the list into agencies / freelancers? I came across Jessica Hische the other day, amazing work indeed. Thanks Brian.
Hey Brian, nice list! I love the design and simplicity of Carsonified’s portfolio.
The list must also include Hicks Design [ http://hicksdesign.co.uk ].
Lisa and Jacob,
Jessica’s work is beautiful isn’t it? I fortunately had the pleasure of going to school with her and work was just as beautiful then. Glad you both enjoyed the list.
Louis,
I agree. Carsonified’s site is quite different and an enjoyable interaction to visit and view.
Balakumar,
Thanks for mentioning them again though
Great addition. Hick’s was a consideration along with some others but I was looking to keep the list a bit shorter. Probably could have added close to 100
Hey Brian,
Great list - thanks
I like the work and portfolio of Mike Archer - http://www.ma-idesign.co.uk/portfolio/index.html - also a good blog at http://twitter.com/digitalldesigns - brings a lot of digital / design news & info. together.
Thanks again

There is some really beautiful portfolio designs. One of the hardest things I find is trying to show my work in a unique way. I think these examples have done that extremely well. Thanks for the article.
i think “horn-tootin’” is going to be my word of the day! Love it.
Siegel + Gale
…wow thats the most stacked portfolio ever…..wow
Brian, you are kidding! You went to school with Jessica?! That is just too awesome. She’s done a bit of work with the folks listed below her (Louise Fili Ltd.), too. The one that specifically comes to mind is the Italianissimo cover. And have you seen her business cards? Beautiful! They were featured on FPO, but Boxcar Press did a little post about them, too, because they created the plates. I’ve been a fan of her work for a while now.
Quite a few new ones in here for me! Thanks for sharing
I love the Ole Martin Christiansen site. For such a young guy, its really impressive. Clean, simple design and really effective way of presenting his work. Would be great to see more websites designed like this.
Very good! portfolio
Exelentes las web, de 10

There are good designs!
It’s always a tricky one with sites. some like to create amazing sites to show off their work whilst others like to keep sites simple and let the work shine through.
Very nice list.
It’s a cool/good list.
personally I would add http://www.iannn.com a nicely done portefolio from a fresh intearction design student
Great list because of the different styles and design/layout originality.
I just re-designed my portfolio recently. These are really inspiring, I love it when people break out of the norm.
Great list, currently im really loving http://alanvanroemburg.com/
