A solid site for a web design and development agency that has an interesting and unique header. I really like the form of the header and the fading white spots. I also like the way the gallery fills the width of the screen.

Resizable Minimalist Dividers
This is a handy pack of 30 dividers. You can resize them, and they are layered so you can easily change the color of the dividers by using the color overlay filter. If you are a designer, this set is a must. You can use these to divide text, photos, videos or anything you want.

Agreestudio
A solid example of a business card design, which veers towards simplicity. I like the focus of the card and the impact it would make on prospective clients. The use of a matt print looks great and gives the card character.

What The Fox?
A site for a clothing company that immediately grabs your attention, mostly through its stark use of colour and bold text. I have to say that it breaks a cardinal sin of web design, however, by forcing sound effects down your throat...

A relatively functional site for a web designer that uses a rather nifty gallery structure. I like the character of the site, the ideas of the designer come across very clearly. It also makes it very simple to view particular portfolio designs.

Margo Stilley
An almost ridiculously basic site that serves as a homepage for an actor. The bonus of having a site this plain is that the navigation is clear, as are the contact details. I rather like the simple nature of the single still photograph, it actually helps this site to stick in your mind.

Watracz
A simple but perfectly apt site for a web designer that makes great use of a single colour to highlight important elements. I actually quite like the footer, and the mini gallery of featured stock files that resides there.

Radio App Icon
A simply gorgeous iPhone app icon that's as memorable as it is detailed. I love the little textures and focus on details, while the subtle 'face' that's been created gives the icon character.

A simple but effective gallery site that showcases free premium design and web resources for designers. I like the grid layout and space given to images of the designs, while the green and grey colour scheme works to complement the clean ethos of the site.

A simply excellent logo for an upcoming t-shirt company. I love the intriguing design of the type and subtle hints of symmetry. The wood textured background helps to add depth and character to the design.
