Labwerks operates on the "lean and mean" principle, and if they claim they can craft an engaging interactive annual report, well, we believe them (mostly). Their online presentation is neat and workable, and their portfolio covers a solid range, from the Pittsburgh Zoo site to the American Eagle Outfitters web zine and Bayer Corporation's healthcare CD-ROM....

What's nice about Logo My Way is you can do more than just submit your logo design work for competitions to win freelance design contracts. It's a great destination to gather some inspiration and see what people are doing in the world of logo design. You can also gain insight decision-making process between client & designer as you follow publicly in real-time which designs clients select.

That's "My Way" of having a good time.... More
This is a full capacity, global, interactive agency. Media Revolution offers "some of the richest, vibrant, stickiest sites around," including the webby site for Spiderman. Other high-profile online campaigns include the DreamWorks film "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" and Nestle's Butterfinger "Break Out of the Ordinary" campaign. Name a technical capability and they've got it. G'head, name one. Okay, now... name TEN. They've got 'em ALL.... More
In order to filter the torrential waves of Internet information, customers turn to Media-Screen, an all-purpose source for nailing specific branding information. While the San Francisco company’s presentation resembles an early Powerpoint template (enough with the rainbow format, okay, kids?), we can still glean they have high standards and offer very professional stuff....

When you're doing work for the premiere graphic design/multimedia software companies, you gotta have the skills to push their software to the limits... so it's no surprise that Method has top of their class portfolio that includes a variety of big names in addition to Adobe and Macromedia. Their other clients range from the artistic (Lincoln Film Society) to the corporate (Merril Lynch), and they cover everything from website design and branding to printing and user research. One-stop shopping, right here.... More

Instead of building out actual web pages, Modernista skipped right to the web results by building "hot links" directly to google, flikr portfolios, wikipedia descriptions, and facebook pages (no myspace or friendster - they really are forward thinking!). Yes, Modernista! has done the unthinkable for a web firm, although in a way, it's a logical progression for an agency showing they "get" online media and web 2.0. The only drawback to this approach is that these pages, which are maintained on other sites, and are subject to breaking down.... More
Monsoon impresses us mightily. Want to know why? They don't just list their clients and show portfolios of their work. They list their clients, describe the specific challenge each of them offered, explain how they dealt with the challenge, and then reveal the result. So a visit to their site will tell you how they helped Wu Tang Clan's last album go triple platinum. And also how they made the Urban Outfitters online store turn a profit in record time. It's downright inspiring to read how productive they are. We'd like to share our challenges with them any day of any week.... More
The design style tends towards the classy and the crisp, the services recently trimmed down to focus solely on search engine optimization and web design/development. MWI, sprung from the loins of Provo, Utah and expanding outward to the Silicon Valley area, delivers workable, functional products, adding in those arty photographs when they can.... More
Noise 13 is a web site for a relatively small design studio based in San Francisco. We liked the amicable feel of the site and firm that bills itself as a "one-stop-shop" for unique logo and stationary design, websites, email marketing, print projects, t-shirts and more. Great use of grid, Flash technology and visual imagery in this standards-based site that uses XML to populate the portfolio and other content areas.... More
