A great portfolio site that effectively uses coloured borders to grab your attention. The logo is simple but is recognisable and makes a good statement. I particularly like the fun central illustration.

Delicious Library is a gorgeous way to catalog all your books, movies, music, software, toys, tools, electronics, and video games. The wooden bookshelf approach is reminiscent of iBooks for iOS and looks great! I really like the clear layout of the sidebar and the brilliant custom icons!
Posted in Interface → Mac AppA sharp design that draws the visitor in with friendly illustration. I like the clarity in the text and how quickly you are led to the important information. I particularly like the unique illustrations of the designers!

A small but powerful App for using Delicious on your Mac. Delibar\'s consistent incorporation of web icons and carefully designed layout is extremely effective while the textured blue throughout looks great. I particularly like the use of tabs and excellent icon design.

A simple but brilliant web design site. I love the central idea and effective use of colour. The custom typeface used for \'I Just Make it Look Good\' is great and really makes a statement.

A simple but classy interface for a notes App. THe small custom icons are great and perfectly complement the classic note feel of the App. I find the purple tint a fascinating design twist on an otherwise functional interface.

An absolutely fascinating design for a business card! Using the art of origami these business cards for a telecommunications company are immediately recognisable and surely impossible to throw away! The red and black approach works brilliantly and the only downside I can see is how uncomfortable one of these might be in your pocket...
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA clean and clear website for a design site. The minimalist approach is effective and allows your attention to be drawn towards examples of the companies design work. The logo is recognisable and makes a statement and the sparse use of colour works really well.

A good portfolio site that utilises a scrolling central display. The use of a photograph of the designer in the background is effective and makes a good statement. I particularly like the bold typeface and use of text throughout the site.

A brilliant personal business card design. The large black graphic makes a stunning impact when used against the plain white background. I particularly like the placement of the vital information along the bottom of the card in a light grey colour - it just looks so stylish!

The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

A gorgeous interface for an organiser and calendar App. Pocket Informant\'s use of colour is brilliant and brings the iPad to life! The layout is intuitive and makes great use of the iPad\'s spacious screen.

An example of effective use of a photograph in business card design. The framing of the photo is perfect for using in the background as are the dark colours - Pada Murre clearly stands out! I particularly like the simple nature of the back of the card which allows easy access to the important information.

A web design site with great potential. The Elegant Seagulls logo is beautiful and stands out from the rest of the site due to its hand-drawn nature. I particularly like the simple use of a border to frame the site and the typefaces used throughout.

An undeniably beautiful way to make presentations on your iPad. Keynote uses textured backgrounds and great themes to create an effortlessly stylish interface. The use of drop-down menus is excellent while the custom icons make you want to try out each possible chart style!

Yahoo! Sportacular for iPad is a great looking App for keeping up with all your favourite teams. The incorporation of team colours and logos is a nice touch while the overall layout works hard to give you all the information you could want in one place.
