Damaged Switch

A great example of a twist on a clean user interface style. I really like the concept of worn and damaged switches, it's executed perfectly here. The colouring and detail adds some great depth to the design.

Playlist Widget

A beautifully designed playlist for the Mac that features excellent use of textures. I really like the incorporation of the thumbnail and the consistent use of colour. The subtle details on the controls really add depth and 'make' the design.

Fox Johnston

A brilliant and wonderfully striking site for an architecture firm. I love the design of the landing page and the use of large images throughout. The immersion in aspects of architecture is immediate and powerful for any visitors to the site.

EPIC

A bold and engaging site for a digital agency that specialises in creative design. I love the slider and the contrast between black and white. The three column layout below the slider works well, although it's a little text heavy.

ShoeStore

A simple but classy user interface for an iPhone app for finding and buying shoes. I like the use of standard UI elements, such as the tab bar. The background texture is clean and works to keep the interface from being too bland.

Sunflower Monitor

A fascinating design for a monitor that automatically moves to capture energy from the sun. I love the curved lines and clean design elements.

Synchstep

A gorgeous interface for a stunningly simple yet brilliant iPhone App. SynchStep analyses your pace and matches your music to your steps! The purple colour scheme is bold but works well to give the App its own character. I particularly like the use of big buttons.

Facebook Facelift

Facebook Facelift is an awesome concept for a redesign of the Facebook user interface. I absolutely love the clarity and simplicity of the design, it truly enhances the usability and enjoyment of the Facebook experience. I also particularly like the concept of a Facebook Publisher site that would function as a stripped back communication platform.

Tube Map

An excellent App that\'s perfect for navigating the London tube! The implementation of the official tube line colours is perfect and makes the maps immediately recognisable. The custom icons are great while the bright blue wonderfully livens up the interface!

JLOFSTEDT

Minimal content but a strong sense of purpose is what characterises this site. The dramatic absence of content is refreshing and encourages the visitor to stick around. The bold and carefully designed illustrations only add to the impact of this site!

ABA

A bold and colourful logo for a training centre! I like the simple use of reflection to add interest to the design. I particularly like the typeface and use of explanation text.

Facebook for iPhone

A key thing to note about the Facebook App is how Facebook pays attention to detail and uses it’s notorious blue color so people can recognize it. The icons are excellent and the App manages to intuitively resemble the actual web site in terms of functionality.

bmedia

A stunning and effortlessly classy business card for a media firm. The use of neon blue on a semi-transparent card looks awesome! I particularly like the way the card has been displayed here and the way there is still a clear back and front!

Espresso

Espresso is a streamlined App designed for Mac web development. The beauty of this App is the enormous functionality that is available from all from a central location. The use of space and overall simplicity of the App are incredibly appealing.

Licorn Publishing

As you can see above, this site has a stunning header. The intensely colored and multilayered art grab you as soon as you load the page. This chaos is balanced by the rest of the page, which maintains a minimal feel and strong alignment.

Reynolds Digital

Overall a little busy but it but I like the overall concept and strong use of alignment. The little 3D effects on the bottom portion of the page are a nice touch as well as the continua repetition of a single color on points of focus.

Thoughts App

A really beautiful page design showcasing a large version of the app icon in a spotlight effect. I love the rounded hill of books in the background, the slime on the available now button and the overall dark color scheme.
