Came across this portfolio site of a recent graduate (Dave Werner) of the Portfolio Center in Atlanta (via John Nack at Adobe via Scoble).

Now I don’t often push people to view sites like this — and am often quite weary of gratuitous Flash animation — but this guy has so effectively communicated with multiple media that I found myself smiling, delighted, moved, and wanting to pick up the phone to hire him (though I don’t have any work now but was thinking of how I could hire him anyway).

One of his presentations, reflect/respect, was such an interesting way to engage people in the essence of a message that I found myself mesmerized by it. Make sure to peek at it as well as launch sites to which he’s linked. You can get the essence of this entire site in less than 15 or so minutes.
