Xcellon
A great logo and logotype for a corporate branding exercise. I love the use of colour on the 'X' logo itself, although perhaps that could have been used as the first letter of the word. The type is clean and utterly readable, something especially important for corporate logos.

Sub Five Five
A solid logo concept for a clothing company. I really like the typography and sense of perspective given the lettering. The colours are excellent, a great selection for clothing.

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.

Mind Epic
A great site for an agency specialising in web and mobile design. There is good use of typeface and illustrations/diagrams throughout. I particularly like the consistent colour palette, it helps to unify the content of the site.

Priolo App Icon
A simple but beautiful piece of interface design work here. I really like the gorgeous use of colour in this icon, while the realism achieved is impressive. The attention to detail is what really makes these icons.

Anderson de Paulo
A fascinating design site for a designer that can't fail to make an instant impact. The colours are so vivid they immediately intrigue and capture your attention. Whether you like the design or not, you can't help but look.

Bronco
A bright and bold site for web design and marketing agency. The use of icons and illustration throughout really helps to give the site character, it makes a statement about the company itself. The intuitive layout is great and helps to guide you through the page, you can immediately tell what it is the company does.

Pantone Calendar
A fascinating and gorgeous design for a calendar. I love the attempt here at making the calendar relevant on a global scale by including a huge variety of images (1440) from around the world. The colour wheel concept is great and has been painstakingly carried through here.

The Good Food Finder
A clean and simple interface for an ingenious iPhone App that helps you discover and share the best local ingredients. I find that the colour palette really works, while the map feature is an effective way to source and find ingredients.

Rain Interactive
An awesome site for a design agency that features a huge slideshow of previous projects. The slideshow is very effective at immersing the casual visitor to the site, while the simple yet brilliant concept of the three circles works well to get the identity of the company across. Some of the images are particularly striking!

Who\'s Guest
Who's Guest is a good example of a portfolio for a graphic designer. The highlighting effect that comes into play as you scroll over each design is very effective at holding your attention. I like the faded photographic background but find the overall alignment of the site doesn't quite work for me.

Ray Cheung
The fascinating personal site of an online entrepreneur! The overall design, of pages on a wood effect background, works well to grab and hold your attention. The use of icons is great and complements the relatively intuitive layout of the site.

Wallpaper Wizard
Wallpaper Wizard is a brilliantly simple App that is designed to manage your wallpapers and automatic switching. The interface design is clean and makes great use of good icon design. I particularly like the wallpaper gallery and the grey tick icons that cover the selected wallpaper packs!

Kappa Creative
A clean and professional site for a design and development company. The use of a gallery to showcase previous projects always works well and this is no exception! The little details really make this design, the boxed text in the gallery and the subtle integration of the twitter logo!

Archibald Studio
An interesting site for a design studio based in Strasbourg that uses some great illustration to draw you in! The spacing is good as is the overall layout. I like the clean design and simple use of colour, it doesn\'t bombard your senses!

Social Xperiments
A slightly clumsy yet intriguing site for a social experiment. The use of illustrations throughout is good and works well to keep a visitor reading! The simple colours are great but the layout isn\'t very clear and could benefit from some more tweaking!

The Queenstown Trail
A straightforward but effective site for The Queenstown Trail. The use of photography is excellent and really works to grab your attention. The clear typeface makes the site easily accessible while the trail sign adds a nice touch of character!

Steve Brown
A clean and straightforward site for a multimedia designer. I like the use of a relatively common layout, it allows the visitor to immediately find their way. The typeface used for \'Steve Brown\' is wonderful and makes a great statement about his design philosophy!
