Going Cloudal
You should look at Cloudal Partners and Jewlboxing. Both are cleanly designed sites. I understand Jewlboxing (clever, premium CD/DVD cases). I am puzzled by Cloudal, not sure I completely get it, but somehow know it’s worth your time. Or maybe not.
For openers, check this weirdness:

A List Apart, 37signals and Coudal Partners have formed The Deck, the premier advertising network for reaching web and design professionals. The three sites serve up millions of page views each month and The Deck ad program is uniquely configured to connect marketers to a targeted, influential audience.

Cost Per Influence
We’re not selling The Deck based on page views or hits or click-through, but if we were, the CPM for a buy here would be priced well below industry norms. Past performance shows that as a group, The Deck will deliver between three and four million page views each month. But it’s not about “cost-per-thousand,” it’s about “cost-per-influence.”
The loyal, regular readers of the three sites consist of web publishers, writers, developers, editors, reporters and bloggers as well as influential designers and art directors. Plus, the aggregate audience is made up of photographers, illustrators, students, filmmakers, typographers, artists, animators, musicians, coders, designers and many other creative professionals.
