Pulse News Reader for iPad
Pulse News fo iPad sports what can only be described as a gorgeous interface. The use of neutrals and a light blue allows the photographs to take centre stage. I particularly like the transparency used throughout and the clear icons and typeface used.

Rebate Tracker
While not being the most interesting App in the world, Rebate Tracker almost makes up for it with its gorgeous interface! The wood effect background is great and perfectly compliments the overall feel of the app. I love the massive plus icon and the luxurious use of space!

Dascola Barbers
This is an effective site for a Barbers that uses a cartoon style to give out a friendly vibe. I like the use of the two main figures as a focal point and the bold colours used on a sparse background. I do find the name of the barbers difficult to read, which could be clarified by the use of a simpler font, but the animated Barber Shop sign is a nice touch

The first thing that hits you when this site appears is the header, it\'s fantastic! The kooky custom typeface and the wood effect works really well and instantly intrigues the visitor. I also particularly like the border between the header and body of the site although the company\'s purpose could be made clearer...

Drop Design Studio
A simple but effective logo for a landscape architecture company. The use of the \'D\' within the main logo is very effective and memorable. The use of green fits well with the nature of the company and the typefaces are readable if not adventurous.

This site uses colours effectively to grab your attention and draw you down to the important information. I like the detail on the logo and the intuitive layout.

A relatively simple but still intriguing business card for a graphic designer. The use of just two focal colours makes a bold statement and is to its merit. It succeeds in keeping its text clear and readable while keeping the overall design sleek.

Strategery is a colourful strategy game for the iPhone. Its interface draws the player in through the effective use bright colour on a dark background. I particularly like the Strategery logo and the way it makes an impact!

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.

Sally Park
Sally Park is a useful parking App that sports a wonderfully designed interface. The use of blue in the GPS section nicely highlights your parking information while the rest of the interface uses a slick white and grey palette. I particularly like the brilliant use of custom buttons.

This site is absolutely gorgeous and features awesome textures, colors and illustrations. The header graphic is just a really nice piece of design and the icon-based navigation menu is excellent.

IconikMedia
This business card would be perfect for a design or media company. The use of a neutral colour on the front allows the logo centre stage. I particularly like the bold logo and great detail on the back.

Swankolab
The Swankolab App attempts to recreate the darkroom experience right on your iPhone and succeeds! Its interface is enticingly beautiful and like no other image editing App you\'ve ever seen. I especially like the interesting looking chemical bottles and the way your prints are hung up to dry.

Astronut
Futuristic sci-fi gameplay with a simple control structure, coupled with some really gorgeous interface styling. It's hard to pull off "space age" while retaining style, but Astronut nails it.

This beautiful site was recently featured in one of our design critiques. I love the layout, the bright colors and the attention to detail on the graphical elements. A great design!

This site was included mostly for its interesting interactivity. As you select an item in the navigation, it opens up a new window that is then moveable and can be arranged with the other open windows. Basically, it mimics the behavior of desktop windows. A novel idea that is fun to play with.

This site is truly unlike any others that I have seen. The design is wacky and beautiful and the functionality is quite interesting. I love the treatment of the old style typography and the splashes of color in all the right places.

New Stream Design
This site reminds me of the modern are trends of the 1990s. However, it is done in a tasteful way that does not seem outdated but instead is quite attractive. I like the dark colors and tilted shapes throughout.

A pretty typical layout but still attractive. The textured color bar at the top is nice and I like the glossy button treatments.

Retrospective
This designer took an interesting route for presenting data in a visual form. The point in question is shown in a big colored circle in the middle and the related aspects are offshoot circles surrounding the main. A little odd but definitely fun!
