Icon by Jackie Tran

A strong icon design that makes it abundantly clear what kind of field the app is in. The wood textures help to add depth to the design, while the use of colour makes it just that bit more memorable.

Radio

A gorgeous example of thoughtful interface design. I love how the buttons look different when raised and pressed, and the metallic sheen. The use of a retro brown colour for the frequency display is a nice touch.

Nimbus

A simple yet effective logo for a web App. I like the fusion of concepts here, the name Nimbus and the cloud idea behind the logo. The blue colours chosen here work really well against the black background. I also particularly like the typeface and use of all lowercase.

Bar-T Calendar

A simple but pretty approach to a calendar. I like the blue painted design and attention to detail. The rounded boxes and use of typeface really makes this calendar.

Sean O'Brien

An awesome site for professional windsurfer Sean O'Brien. I love the graphic design ideas and how it all fits in a single window with no scrolling! The simple drop down navigation bar is a nice touch, as is the detailing on the logo!

OneThree

An effortlessly simple logo that somehow manages to be instantly recognisable. The blue and grey colours used work really well together and perfectly suit the abstract name of the company. I particularly like the way different hues of blue combine to make the \'3\' logo pop off the page!

GPSWeather

A stunning yet minimal interface for a weather App. I love the simple graphic depictions of the weather and the grey and blue textured background. The typeface is clear and immediately readable while the layout is brilliantly intuitive!

Justin Marimon

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.

Minibooks

Minibooks is the iPhone companion to the Freshbooks invoicing App and boasts a stunning interface. The bold buttons for \'Send Invoice\' and \'View Payments\' work brilliantly with the simple background. Invoices are nicely framed and well laid out while the use of drop-down menus helps to keep the interface uncluttered.

Dropr

Dropr is a new site for creating multimedia-drive portfolios. The design utilizes an attractive and ornate illustration style with colorful animated raindrops falling from floating sketchy clouds.

Media Surgery

A nice looking corporate design that is quite attractive while remaining clean and professional. There are lots of little touches that go along way. Subtle uses of texture, shadowing and lines really finish out the design.

Local Wisdom

This site is fantastically unique in just about every way possible. From the crazy illustrated background to the original 3D ribbon navigation area, it all has a high quality custom feel that is hard to find and easy to appreciate.

Masswerks

A very clean, centered layout that focuses heavily on the image slider. The colors are perfect and there are lots of single pixel strokes that really add finesse to the overall look.

Cloud Pollen

A nice looking site with a simple design featuring a floating Google Chrome browser window tied to the ground like a hot air balloon. I like the gradient on the background and the clean two column layout at the bottom.

Nice Reply

This site design is beautifully clean and features a perfect color scheme with rich, attractive graphics. The typography on the page is also very well done, it is both highly readable and quite attractive. Excellent inspiration for corporate design!

Three60

Three60 is a two man digital design company with a decent sense of humor. I absolutely love the animated pencil rocket ship on the blueprint background. It is a completely original graphic that really makes the site memorable. Other nice touches include the slowly changing customer testimonials in the top right and the subtle background gradient.
