Twofold
A gorgeous portfolio site for a creative agency based in Australia. I love the giant photographic images that leave an imprint on your mind. The use of text is effective and restrained, while the colours hold your attention.

Restaurant Porte Sainte Claire Annecy
A brilliant restaurant site that makes an immediate impact. I love the food photography here, it's a difficult thing to get right but the colour and freshness of the food here is clearly evident. The simple central block of information is easy to understand and clear, people often just want the vital details when looking up a restaurant online.

Marek Mis
A fascinatingly interactive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the unique approach, although it can feel a little stilted at times. The bright and friendly outlook of the site would certainly appeal to particular clients.

Delivery Costs
A simple shot of an iPhone delivery costs screen for an app called iPostcards. I love the wood grain and the fascinating use of typography. The green and blue circles work really well to make the details clear, even on a small screen.

Free Faces
A beautifully designed site that's simply a way for this particular designer to share some of his favourite free fonts with the world. I love the use of typography and emphatic use of colour, it looks just gorgeous.

Analogue/Digital Creative Conference
A simply brilliant site for a creative conference that takes the grid layout to its logical conclusion. The static boxes give the site a structure and make for an interesting scrolling experience. I love the use of colour and photographic fragments, it really makes an impact.

404 not found
A great site that solely comprises of a curated 404 not found gallery. I like the non-standard layout and simple navigation. The staff badges that indicate favourite entries are great and help to give the browsing experience some direction.

Hindukusch
A gorgeous design for some business cards! I absolutely love the brand identity and use of patterns throughout. The colour is also intriguing, the green perfectly complementing the neutral colour of the text and details.

1927
A fascinating site for a theatre company! The graphic style is bold and striking, it immediately grabs your attention. I particularly like the flickering sign and the subtle interactivity.

Shawn Graham
A really well designed site for a consultant, writer, and speaker. I love the simple background texture and gorgeous typeface. It's a very coherent and intuitive site that gives you immediate confidence.

Cai Guo-Qiang
A fascinating example of site navigation. The pagination used here fundamentally changes the way you interact with the interface. I love the way the boxes are highlighted in red, it has to be tried to be understood.

Good Measure
A simple but easily recognisable logo that makes effective use of the single colour approach by using yellow on black. I particularly like the incorporation of statistical bars into the design of the 'G'.

Random Design
An interesting winged logo design that makes brilliant use of texture! I love the contrast of natural ideas (like wings) with more mechanical ones (like cogs). The colour palette is subtle but works excellently, particularly over this kind of textured background.

Bagatelle Records
An immediately intriguing site for a vinyl record shop based in Long Beach. The illustrations work well to hold a visitors attention although there\'s a lot more that could be done with vinyl art. I like the use of typeface and division of the background!

SoundHound
A great iPhone App for finding that tune in your head! The information page could be a little less cluttered, but it does work to give you all the details you could ever want! I particularly like to bold icon design and massive \\\'What\\\'s that song?\\\' button.
