Doss Blockos
A striking, is questionable, example of product branding. Packaging this premium beer in crumpled brown paper bags certainly sets it apart from its competitors. This piece of branding flavours the whole experience of drinking the product.

A solid design for a design blog that features a simple but effective gallery of recent works. I particularly like the strong typeface and message of the header, the logo also helps the site make an impact.

Born in the Barn
A fascinating site for recruiting new people to The Site Doctor team. I love the concept of this site and the way you can collect your favourite job concepts into a 'hand'. The design is engaging, if a little confusing - playing cards and the barn don't seem to go hand in hand.

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.

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.

A brilliant example of an engaging portfolio site for a designer. I love the simple background and restrained use of text, it really allows the work to shine through. I particularly like the simple scrolling portfolio, each design capturing your attention individually.

Health Monitoring Mirror
A fascinating concept for a mirror that monitors your health. The mirror itself is the user interface, I like the simplicity of it. The small module at the top of the mirror is great, I like the curvature and organic shape.
