A great illustration of a strawberry that would be perfect for creating a memorable logo or mark. It's simple delicious looking, a great example of capturing the essence of something.

Taking the grid layout to a fantastic extreme, I love the way this site fills your browser leaving no space spared. I like the dark angle this designer has used, and the strong colour theming.

Peppermint Design
A portfolio site for a web designer and developer that gives a clear description of what the site is about, and the philosophy behind the service. I like the understated colours and use of little details.

Ryan Hamrick
A simple but effective portfolio site for a designer that allows you to quickly get an idea of his style. The gallery is perhaps a little small, but it still works.

Bitesize Logo
A strong logo that makes an immediate impression. I like the simple restrained use of colour and the theme of the logo itself. The fixed width typeface works really well in this logo, fitting perfectly with the other shapes.

NewIdols
A striking site for an icon and user interface design agency. The use of a black background is effective here, colours like purple and bright pink helping to bring contrast to the site. I like the social networking icons and the typeface used throughout the site.

Caleb Amesbury
A great piece of UI design that comes from the footer of the personal website of Caleb Amesbury. I really like the raised feel of the icons and green highlight colour. The simple tweets section also works well and makes great use of the twitter blue.

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.

Glitch Business Cards
I love the fascinating illustration work on these business cards, it really helps to give them a unique personality. The contrast between the front and back is very effective and allows the cards to make an impact while keeping the important information readable.

Pinco Doce Interactive Catalogue
A brilliant interactive catalogue for a supermarket. The touchscreen layout is intuitive and makes great use of colour to differentiate between different sections of the supermarket. I'd love to play with it and see what the animation effects are like. The weighting and dynamics of the appearing categories could make or break this design.

Alex Buga's Livingroom
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.

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.

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.

Delivery Status Touch for iPad
A gorgeous way to track your deliveries and parcels on your iPad. The intuitive layout is great and I love the use of the map! I like the standard icons and buttons while the use of colour brings the interface to life!

XhtmlWeaver
This site utilizes an eye-catching spectrum graphic in the header and some really nice button design. The layout is diverse but strong and I like the little quick quote generator that they included on the homepage.

Volusion
This friendly looking site features a rich primary color palette and a very web 2.0 feel. The sketches over the photograph make the space more inviting and lighthearted and the use of icons really helps break up the content into manageable chucnks.
