On this day...
On this day... is a brilliant example of App interface design. The bespoke calendar effect works really well throughout the App. I particularly like the interesting choice of green for the calendar.

Mat Tomaszewski
A bizarre but attractive portfolio site with plenty of stellar work on display. The heads are used as a recurring theme to show the relation of visual design to UX in each project. An interesting idea!

These business cards are minimal, stylish, and yet retain an element of interest using the accented green colour. I particularly like the small icons used to represent phone and email, as well as the consistent typeface used throughout.

Astronut
Futuristic sci-fi gameplay with a simple control structure, coupled with some really gorgeous interface styling. It's hard to pull off "space age" while retaining style, but Astronut nails it.

Red Tiki
This page is both incredibly fun and incredibly beautiful. The textures, color and illustrations are all perfectly executed and the tiki theme is hilarious. I love the Twitter bird with the mask and the little animated guys at the bottom of the page.

Chris Kinsey
This site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.

The layout is basically a simple grid of thumbnails but I really like how the designer styled it. The thumbnail treatments is really nice and I like the oddly thin column of images on the textured background.

A really unique looking portfolio with vertical rectangle samples and intense color. The design of this site is quite bold and even features an alternate style accessible via a button in the navigation. An interesting and fun idea!

Sunday Publishing
An interesting site design with crazy animated backgrounds and a very simple floating overlay. The typography is what stands out here. The solid mixture of serif and sans-serif typefaces looks really classy.

Aphichat
A classy dark theme with great looking minimal icons. I really enjoyed the original use of a spectrum here. The paint splat look can easily come off as cheesy but this site makes it look great!

This is a beautiful page advertising the design services of the popular iPhone developer Tapmates. The individual sections of the page flow nicely together while being very visually distinct through the use of excellent textures and a nice color palette.

Zennaware
The large image in the center really steals the show and is a really nice piece of 3D modeling. The rest of the page is very minimal and serves as the perfect setting to highlight the primary graphic.

The Creative Way
I really like the colorful header graphic, glowing logo typography, and centered iMac graphic. Overall a really eye catching design that is laid out well despite being a little busy.

Real Mac Software
A popular Mac software developer, Realmac produce some gorgeous applications and have a website to match. Each app is given plenty of surrounding space, and navigation is very clear. The design is made particularly special due to the application icons which are used to great effect. Be sure to dig past the homepage to see a far more immersive and visually rich design.
