The Font Game
The Font Game is an App that is perfect for passionate designers and illustrators and as such needs to have a stunning interface. Fortunately it lives up to expectation; utilising space and icons brilliantly, keeping it simple, and focusing on the fonts!

Yahoo! Entertainment
A sleek iPad App from Yahoo! Entertainment. The use of a cinema-esque background is interesting and the layout of the content is great. I particularly like the attention to detail and use of backgrounds that complement the content.

Here we have a design that is about as creative and artistic as a business card can get! The central design elements are excellent and the sheer uniqueness of this card allows me to forgive the slightly awkward typeface.

Matteo Larghi
An extremely stylish portfolio site. It exemplifies great use of space and a neutral palette. Of particular note is the use of a large portrait as the focal point, something which I find really works!

Froot
An attractive magazine style site that draws together interesting things from across the web. The central logo is extremely effective at grabbing your attention and I love the fruit theme. I also particularly like the use of large thumbnail links and how attractive they make the site.

MK Designs
Dark and stylish business cards for a design company. The use of matt black really makes an impact when contrasted with the more neutral palette of the text. I particularly like the offset logo on the back and the sparing use of information.

Acrobits
A clean and bright corporate site for a mobile solutions company. The use of space is great and naturally brings your eyes to the important information. I like the simple but effective logo and the subtle use of fading to add interest to the site.

Layers
A brilliant and stylish art studio for your iPad. I like the way it keeps the palette neutral to allow your own masterpieces to shine! The intuitive menus and icons make Layers a beautiful way to paint in the virtual world.

Articles for iPad
Articles for iPad is simply the best way to view Wikipedia. The interface is gorgeous and makes each page supremely readable. I particularly like the simple but intuitive icons and use of red for the links.

Spreadt
The handmade paper look of this site works well with the use of a custom typeface. I like the torn paper effect and use of light blue and pink to highlight the key headings. I also find the use of punctuation in the logo helps to make the company name recognisable.

Evernote for iPad
Evernote for iPad has a brilliantly intuitive and effortlessly beautiful interface. The use of thumbnail pictures throughout brings colour and life to the App and the attention to detail is great! I particularly like the way your notes are stacked - keeping you in touch with the way things used to be remembered...

Mezo Designs
A brilliant business card! It uses subtle detail and a great logo to make an impact. The \'Hand\' logo works especially well in white on a black background.

Codehero
A site that needs using to fully understand the design - with each section coming to life as your scroll over it. I love the contrast of the blue and red with the black and grey of the rest of the site.

Pulse News
A gorgeous news and article reader from the good people at Alphonso Labs. The simple Pulse logo really appeals to me while the use of light blue throughout is very effective. I particularly like the sketches that guide you though how to use Pulse.

BrainBurst
This is a fun, if slightly gruesome, logo. The big and bold font works well and makes you want to read it! I love the graphical representation of the brain and the fun nature of the overall design.

Brokedesign
An outstanding design portfolio site. Immediately draws your attention to the dramatic design in the centre and leads you to enquire further. The use of polaroids as thumbnails is great and I also like the contrast of the bright primary colours with the black and white interface of the site.

The Photo Cookbook
The use of high quality photography throughout is great and really brings this App to life! I also particularly like the standardised buttons and menus which allow the user to pick it up and get cooking!

Boque
A brilliant layout for a photography site that uses a relatively dark brown palette which draws attention to the photographs. I particularly like the space given to the header.

Night Stand HD
An iPad App that\'s designed around having a beautiful interface! The huge clock numbers look great and the simple layout works very well. The black and white does work reasonably well but could use a colour accent.
