Billy Tamplin
On his blog, Billy Tamplin focuses on the small victories in his life. Each post
records a personal achievement, displaying a custom-designed merit badge
and an explanation of the conquest. Billy uses this metaphor throughout
the website, speaking of “super Web abilities” (Agile CSS, PHP-prepared,
IE6-reinforced, etc.) and “heroic design strengths” (human-friendly aim,
keen creative detail, etc.). He also has a personal portfolio on the website.
Notice how well the color scheme fits the theme. The design is simple and
beautiful, and the “achievement” twist is unusual and memorable.
