A brilliant business card for a designer that would make an immediate impact. The tactile nature of the raised lettering makes you want to hold it and turn it over in your fingers. I like how simply stylish this design is, the silver really works well.

ClearWebSolutions
A clean and stylish site for a web developer. The slideshow works well to get any potential clients engaged and reading. The division of the background works well, the blue allowing the slideshow to prevail while the white allows easy access to the important information.

The minimal approach works really well here! The choice to use white on black is great and helps to make the card immediately useful. However, what ultimately makes this design is the gorgeous textured card and engraved nature of the text.

IWANNABEADESIGNER
A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer. I like the restrained use of text, such as the bullet point list, as it helps a visitor to grasp the point of the site quickly.

Touch CDJ Pro
An awesome interface for Touch CDJ Pro on the iPad. It's sleek, stylish, and makes great use of a plethora of buttons and switches. The attention to detail here helps to make this App stand out, I particularly like the feel of the buttons that light as you switch them.

Jorge Riera
A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.

Chomp is a fascinating, and compact, sandwich maker and grill. Thanks to an innovative pressing mechanism, it automatically adjusts to sandwiches of varied thicknesses. It allows preparation of sandwiches, toast, waffles, fried eggs, grilled meat, and is operated through a touchscreen display!

RVLT
A fascinating site that makes a statement with its intriguing user interface. It really has to be experienced to be understood! For a fashion site like this, taking a unique approach to navigation can really help to engage visitors.

Basta
This person said they wanted round business cards, but realized that doing so meant that the cards wouldn’t fit into a typical cardholder. The solution? A perforation that allows you to rip the card so it will fit. I love the concept and find that the choice of colours here just simply 'works'.

Calabria Estudio
A stunning and stylish portfolio site for a creative studio. I really the the contrast between the black header section and white body of the site. I love the bold use of graphical ideas. The sinking text and its reflections, the illustrations, and the spacious gallery.

Caliper Card
This one is a fully-functional sliding caliper! If someone gave me this I would definitely keep it in my desk for quick-measuring and would constantly be reminded of their business. A stunning, albeit expensive, business card solution!

Jaffar Khorshidi
A clean and stylish portfolio for a'multi-disciplinary designer' based in Manchester. I like the consistent use of white on black and the strong contrast achieved. The portfolio section itself is attractive and gives a good amount of space to each design.

Limitless Production
A striking logo that\'s derived from the starting letters of the company name. I like the use of \'L\' and \'P\' for the logo and find the use of perspective helps to make it memorable. The textured background is also a nice touch!

Tam Cargo
A wonderfully rough looking idea for a business card! I love the concept that for a cargo company the business card could fold into a cargo box, ready to ship a teaspoon of coffee around the world! The simple use of logos gives the card a powerful sense of authenticity!

A stunning site for a kitchen design company! I love the massive photographic slideshow and the incredible impact it has when you first visit the page! The logo is stylish but subtle and works really well on the slightly transparent menu bar.

disguise the unworthy
An incredibly ingenious use of chemical etching to create a stunning business card design. It might be expensive to manufacture but it\'ll make an instant impression on any prospective clients! I love the idea that you\'ll put it in your wallet with your driving license and give yourself a disguise!

Zoo
An excellent portfolio site for HTML 5 web designer. The gallery is great, I particularly enjoy the way each previous project springs to life as you scroll over it! However, for me it\'s the details throughout that make this site, the icons, buttons, typefaces, and backgrounds.

Jay-Z Decoded
An interesting example of iPhone interface design that may divide some designers. Intentionally a little rough around the edges and disorganised this interface makes great use of some interesting typeface work and illustration. I find the lack of typeface consistency fascinating!
