Creative Factory
The bold use of red on white is very effective and the simple black typeface used for the text works well. I particularly like the way the logo itself bleeds over where you expect it to end.

BigFiveGlories
For a site dedicated to classic movies this hits the mark perfectly! The subtle detail is excellent, as is the colour palette. The consistency throughout the site is good as is the use of a star ratings system is muted colours.

Cellar for iPhone
Cellar is a beautiful way to keep track of your wine collection! The wood theme is consistent and works well while the interface is intuitive and clear. The star ratings look great and the graphic wine illustrations make your collection look stunning!

Roga Design
Now that\'s how to keep things simple but still make an impact! Inverted examples of a letter based logo, the idea behind which could be more basic. The reversed \'R\' against the \'D\' has been made into a recognisable logo through the use of consistent design and commitment to an idea.

Thomas Antiques
An excellent site for an antiques seller. The use of neutral colours allows the slideshow of fascinating antiques to flourish. The central logo is perfect and makes a good statement. It\'s also worth noting that the site continues to fascinate as you move downwards - using antique photography and simple descriptive text.

Gravity
A bold black and white logo that even looks brilliant with the colours inverted! The clear readable typeface works well, while the use of the g helps the logo remain memorable. I really like the texture created by the dots and the way the fading of the background draws your eyes to the centre.

Chris Thurman
A simple but brilliant web design site. I love the central idea and effective use of colour. The custom typeface used for \'I Just Make it Look Good\' is great and really makes a statement.

Just Notes
A simple but classy interface for a notes App. THe small custom icons are great and perfectly complement the classic note feel of the App. I find the purple tint a fascinating design twist on an otherwise functional interface.

Ninja BTL
An absolutely fascinating design for a business card! Using the art of origami these business cards for a telecommunications company are immediately recognisable and surely impossible to throw away! The red and black approach works brilliantly and the only downside I can see is how uncomfortable one of these might be in your pocket...

Alexanderkryska
A good portfolio site that utilises a scrolling central display. The use of a photograph of the designer in the background is effective and makes a good statement. I particularly like the bold typeface and use of text throughout the site.

farrkling
The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

Dascola Barbers
This is an effective site for a Barbers that uses a cartoon style to give out a friendly vibe. I like the use of the two main figures as a focal point and the bold colours used on a sparse background. I do find the name of the barbers difficult to read, which could be clarified by the use of a simpler font, but the animated Barber Shop sign is a nice touch

Keynote
An undeniably beautiful way to make presentations on your iPad. Keynote uses textured backgrounds and great themes to create an effortlessly stylish interface. The use of drop-down menus is excellent while the custom icons make you want to try out each possible chart style!

Yahoo! Sportacular
Yahoo! Sportacular for iPad is a great looking App for keeping up with all your favourite teams. The incorporation of team colours and logos is a nice touch while the overall layout works hard to give you all the information you could want in one place.

The Early Edition
The Early Edition is a custom newspaper for your iPad that displays all your favourite news sources in a stylish yet familiar way. The use of typeface is excellent and the newspaper format, with a hierarchical structure, with superbly.

Boardwalk Empire
An unfussy and classy cinema site. The sparing use of orange is great and really makes a statement. I particularly like the little details and good use of space.
