I love clean and simple designs. Works well with strong content, both graphical and textual. Doesn’t really work without these elements though. The collection portrait this well, a good set to showcase.

Wow, great sites. I recently noticed dumbnudge.com, a webcomic site. While the comic looks bad, I really liked the simple webdesign.

Brian Hoff’s Im a Graphic Designer is really eye catching.

I guess thats why you put it first? Or did you arrange it in alphabetical order?

I think the new version of my portfolio site falls into this category of clean, minimal, and good typography.

Wow, thanks for putting this together, it will come in very handy as reference work and inspiration.

I am a big fan of good minimal design and typography like that used on the Mark Boulton piece.

That said, I’m at a loss for words as to how cool the character design is for the work on Srburns – absolutely top notch illustration.
