ultranoir
A fascinating site for a creative team that lands you on a large gallery of recent work. The ultranoir homepage itself makes striking use of black and white. I particularly like the use of typeface and animation to engage the visitor.

RepixDesign
A gorgeous set of shots from a stunning user interface. I love the subtle use of textures and the restrained colour splashes. There's a good amount of depth to the design and buttons.

Kings of Mambo
I like the black background that has been used for the site of this creative design studio, it allows the colourful designs to make an impact. The uneven grid layout is effective at grabbing your attention, while the interesting logo further intrigues visitors.

Vestigiaudio
A absolutely love the illustrative style here and the design of these knobs. The colours perfectly suit the retro styling of the design. It's also worth noting how outstanding the typeface is!

Stranger Absinthe
An example of gorgeous packing design for a limited edition bottle of Stranger Absinthe. I love the attention to detail and intricacy of the design. The typography and use of raised details makes for an enticing experience.

YESS BMX
A great site for a custom designed BMX frame. I love the brutal impact that the image has when you first open the site. The restrained use of colour in the background and for the text merely enhances the power of the yellow on the bike itself.

Frontendlabs
A classy portfolio for a freelance web designer. I particularly like the sketches and consistent illustrative style. The actual portfolio designs might work more effectively in full colour.

Twofold
A gorgeous portfolio site for a creative agency based in Australia. I love the giant photographic images that leave an imprint on your mind. The use of text is effective and restrained, while the colours hold your attention.

The Wine Society
A great example of product design that would make you look twice. The bow tie mark is very different from the usual wine logo and makes this design easily memorable. The way the design differs for the occasion is a simple but effective idea that further lends the brand memorability.

Nathan Rafter
A great portfolio site for a web designer that makes an immediate impact. I like the vibrant use of colour and simple layout. The only thing I'm not convinced by is what happens as you scroll over the central button, the boxes that appear look a little messy over the background.

Web Ad Waterfall
A simple but useful concept for a web app element. A slightly different way to display ads in a web app. I like the concept and adherence to clean design.

Hollywood Fitness
A simple logo design for a fitness club based in LA. The black and white approach makes a strong statement and also makes for easy reproduction of the logo. I particularly like the badge design, it's memorable and clear.

EPIC
A bold and engaging site for a digital agency that specialises in creative design. I love the slider and the contrast between black and white. The three column layout below the slider works well, although it's a little text heavy.

Contrive Digital
A brilliantly engaging and striking site for a design agency. I love the sharp contrast between the colours and the unconventional layout. The use of typography is great, as is the use of a single case study.
