New College Durham
A strong logo designed as an attempt to rebrand New College Durham. I really like the geometric shapes and blue focused colour palette. The typeface used is clear and concise, effortlessly readable yet retaining a sense of character and class.

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.

Twitter Bubble
A simply gorgeous redesign of the Twitter app icon for the Mac. I love the boldness of this design and the brightness of the colour palette. It's not as understated as Twitter likes to be but it can't help but make you feel happier...

Joel and Janna
A simple but beautifully crafted site that subtly draws you in. I love the art on the cover of the EP and the use of photography. The simple music player is a nice touch, as are the social connection links.

Thinking in Modal
An interesting shot of a web interface that makes strong impact through its use of colour. I really like the integration of the 'x' into the window, it's a beautiful touch.

Flow Icon Concept
A gorgeous icon concept for Flow, I love the intense colours and stunning details. The overall icon would make an immediate impact, the sheer wealth and depth of colour.

Bar Code
The headline “Creativity Sells” is perfect with the image of the pencil barcode and it’s a decent appeal for a designer to make to his/her clients. I also particularly like the simplicity of the design, the plain white background and restrained use of colour.

creativecat
A simple yet effortlessly stylish site for a freelance web designer. I like the effective use of white and greys for the background and text, the contrast with the blue focal section is great! I particularly like the use of a split background, the textured section at the top looks good in partnership with the plain white section.

JLOFSTEDT
Minimal content but a strong sense of purpose is what characterises this site. The dramatic absence of content is refreshing and encourages the visitor to stick around. The bold and carefully designed illustrations only add to the impact of this site!

Paradise Proffessional
A themeforest page for a Paradise Proffesional xHTML Template. Themeforest is a good looking site and this particular entry effectively uses a single image to get across the vital stats of their template. I like the custom design of the RSS, Twitter, and Facebook links.

Kindle for iPad
Taking a different approach to iBooks, and although forgoing the digital bookcase idea, Kindle for the iPad still manages to make reading look appealing! A tablet reading App lives or dies by its interface, but fortunately Kindle has an effortlessly intuitive and gorgeous one!

Loopt
Loopt is an App designed to help you discover the world around you and connect with friends. It makes a great feature of plotting important spots on the map using its customised icons. Bright, colourful, intuitive, and overall a brilliant effort.
