A fascinating approach to site navigation that aims to engage users through its unique and disjointed layout. I like the odd design of this site and its quirky appeal. Making a site intentionally unintuitive can sometimes work to further engage visitors, a portfolio site like this is the perfect candidate for such an experiment.

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.

An assembly kit for an interactive tyre calendar that was made for Dalnoboy, a large truck tyre service network. Once built you simply use the tyre markers to keep track of the days and a month marker to keep track of the month. I really like the interactive element and commitment to the concept, the pack even comes with warranty and repair details for the calendar!

A simple but striking logo that has an appealingly hand-drawn quality to it. The use of white on black is almost always strong, and this is a good example. The intricate design makes for an effective and memorable logo.

A brilliantly sparky logo for an electrical company. I love the use of pinks and purples for the spark design, it looks great in contrast with the straightforward white text on grey. A stunning logo that's memorable and sure to make an impact!

This site is made by its vibrant and colourful gallery. It immediately draws you in and almost urges you to browse! I actually quite like the simple animations of the logo, although I imagine it would get annoying after a while.

This is a recipe card with a difference. The design and recipe is subtly engraved into the card making for an incredibly tactile experience. It's a little hard to read but totally worth it for the design impact.

A wonderfully ingenious calendar design for an energy company. Each month is made from a comb of matches! It perfectly captures the idea of energy, and would make each day feel like a significant event.

A vibrant and instantly striking site for an entertainment agency. I really like the consistently colourful design and use of graphic illustrations to contrast with the photography. It's immediately obvious what this company does, one of the key signs of a well designed site.

An absolutely stunning clock interface for the iPhone. I love the bold use of black and white and the unique design ideas implemented here. The designer clearly has a keen eye for typography!

A simple but effective logo design that makes the two colour idea work hard! I love the combination of lime green and dark grey while the choice of lowercase for the text helps to make it recognisable. The use of gradient on the logo itself is really effective at making it shine and stand out!

An awesome site that showcases fascinating high quality gadgets. The use of photography is excellent, as is the uncluttered nature of the site. I particularly like the concept that the page should scroll sideways, it's novel and adds an interesting twist to the gallery format.

While this is of course a web design, it fits perfectly into the category of interface design due to its beautifully tactile user interface. I love the draggable menus, switches, and buttons, they really make this a fun place to be. While many sites could become frustrating with this amount of user interaction, a designer's personal portfolio is the perfect place to try out wacky user interface ideas.

You don’t have to be the most creative person in the world to create a practical business card. This person threw a quick one year calendar on their card. This is really handy to have in your wallet and is a great way to help ensure the person carries your card around for at least a year!

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.

A brilliant concept that aims to provide retail stores with a mobile point of sale device. I love the simple touchscreen idea and perceived compact size of the device. The idea that it would clip onto your pocket or shirt and allows sales to be made from anywhere could revolutionise the way we shop.

A clean and functional site for a web and graphic design company. I like that the header section is left purely text. You can immediately get a grasp on what it is the company does. The consistent use of a monochrome colour palette is effective, although a little contrast wouldn't have gone amiss.
