A superbly clean and minimal theme that takes the grid layout to its natural conclusion. I love the proportions of the layout and the lack of gimmicks.

Martin\'s Way
I particularly like the distressed look of this logo design, although I'm unconvinced by the way the marks go outside the circle. The strong use of monochrome and symmetry helps to mark this logo out.

Taskbar Scrolling
A great example of a problem solved with a little interaction design. If you tap and hold the taskbar or the moment you begin to swipe vertically, the taskbar instantly recesses and the apps now drop below the height of the buttons, so they are free to travel under the buttons which gives you infinite room to have active/open apps.

Joanna Ostafin
A fascinating portfolio site for a designer that asks you to use the arrow keys to navigate. While this could be a hindrance going into the future, it does give the site a unique feel.

Zeences
A great WordPress theme for a portfolio site that uses strong imagery to make a bold impact. I like the thumbnail gallery and the vast multitude of available social media buttons.

Eventure
This theme is designed perfectly for events. This theme utilizes a custom calendar system unlike any other. With Eventure, only the dates with actual events will show up, maximizing space and ease of use. I like the bold use of contrast and intuitive layout.

Dry
A gorgeous and wonderfully striking example of a business card. The use of matt and shiny textures helps this card to make a strong statement. The texture of card is excellent, as is the subtle way the type of business has infiltrated the typography.

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.
