In addition to working on YoLadies.com, as mentioned below, I have been working on a simple site for the Thinking Like a Mountain Foundation. It is a wonderful program, and I'm so happy to have been a part of their web presence.

I was lucky enough to come across this beautiful Czech magazine called DNA21. It's in Czech, but you don't need to know how to read the language to get inspiration from the amazing photography, graphics, fashion etc. Here are a couple of examples of the great stuff you'll find:

I'm a believer that including a surprise soundtrack in websites is a bad idea. I'm not talking about sites for musicians, obviously, or games or any other site where it makes sense that music would play upon loading. I'm talking about just normal business sites, portfolio sites, etc. I don't even care how cool the music is - I came across a beautiful site playing a cool Kruder and Dorfmeister song when I loaded it, but the K&D was cranked up really loud and when combined with the what-ever-I-was-listening-to through my earbuds at work, it didn't work.

However, I recently came across this beautiful portfolio site by Jin Young Kim, and I totally forgive her for the music. In fact, the music helps make the site more magical. It really is magical design - check it out (and turn off whatever else you're listening to, turn the speakers on, whichever applies):

If you haven't seen Masood Kamandy's photography, you should. He is based in Brooklyn but has exquisite shots from Kabul, where his family originated. Check out his Afhanistan Project First Light Exhibition photos from his students in Kabul - they are amazing.

The Secret Diptychs shows the slight difference in the human face when thinking of a secret. It's really interesting to see how each person's face changes as they think of some secret...some of them have a sly look, some worried, others giddy.

Below is the intro shot from his two twenty nine project, which documents some of the NY Times former offices.

Found via COULOURlovers, this amazing site from Kashiwa Sato. It features animated color palettes using the colors of various projects. It could get hypnotizing after a while...check it out!

From Design Mind I jumped over to Wallpaper's 2009 Graduate Directory, a listing of bright recent gradates in fields ranging from Design to Travel. There is some great inspiration to be found, like this from Meng-Chia Lai:
