A solid example of a camera app icon that makes an immediate impression. I particularly like the attention to detail and the use of textures.

Duotive
A superb example of a theme that's very image focussed. I really like the slick use of iconography and the bold and striking use of a background image to make an impact.

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...

Shoaib Hafeez
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.

A simply beautiful example of design for a physical product. This set is playing cards was designed to be fit for a king, and they certainly look the part. I love the attention to detail and elegant nature of the carefully crafted design.

Mic Meter Switch
A gorgeous example of attention to detail in user interface element design. I particularly like the use of colour to give life to the meter and switch. The perspective of the switches is enticing, almost begging you to reach out and press them.

Nocturne
It's always good to see interesting new approaches to iPhone app design. This nocturnally inspired interface certainly makes a mark. I appreciate the difficulty inherent in moving away from the standard, and quite like the circular icons.

Mad About Architecture
A brilliant site that's wholly focussed on architecture. I love the minimal design of the site and intuitive use of navigation. I particularly like the textured overlay, it gives the site an immediate sense of presence.

Skilled Students
A clean and well designed layout for a site that aims to connect design students with useful placements. The use of clear text and blocks of colour helps to solidify the sensible nature of the site. While it's not the pinnacle of design it's a great example of web design being suited to its need.

Mint Themes
It's somehow very appropriate and right that the site for Mint Themes is as fresh and clean as its WordPress themes aim to be. The use of textures and buttons is great, the details really adding to the site as a whole.

Digital Monarchy
A simple but effective site for a small digital studio that makes a strong impact with its attention grabbing slider. I really like the clean and intuitive layout and the comprehensive footer. You can find any information you need in a couple of short seconds.

Armarion
A brutally simple but classy approach to business card design. I love the use of white on matt black and the little details that help this card stand out.

me & oli
A fabulous fashion site that exemplifies quirky and artistic web design. I love the illustrative style and the overall style of the site. A few more instances of colour use could help to add interest and emphasis to certain elements.
