I think that it deserves to be mentioned that Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain, who is best known for his slick looking portfolio site 31 Three, is an amazing designer.
However, when I took a look at his newest creations today, I had a newfound respect for just how consistently good his work is. Not only is his work styling and clean, he is able to produce a good number of sites in a short time frame.
What's more, is that his designs are 2006 without succumbing to such "Web 2.0" fads such as incredibly large, bold type and too much simplicity.
