Gold Buyers
A stylish logo for a gold buying company. The straightforward symbolism works well, the dollar sign representing the cash you can receive in exchange for items made of gold. I like the effective use of symmetry and attention to detail.

Wes Bos
A stylish personal blog and portfolio for a web designer and developer. I like the boldness of the background colour, the circular headshot, and the intuitive layout. It's always good when you can garner what the site is for in a couple of seconds!

Pen Holder Card
I think they might be stretching a little bit with the pen holder idea, but who knows, it might just work! The propellor aspect is a fun idea and would definite help to make your card memorable. As for its aesthetics, I quite like the wood texture and subtle use of colour.

Smokeproof Press
I really love this idea, it’s word of mouth marketing at its finest. The basic concept is that every business card you give out has a little portion that can be torn off and shared with someone else. It’s a great way to encourage your customers to recommend you!

Appetites
Appetites is a simply gorgeous iPad App that teaches you how to cook using luscious videos content and detailed instructions! I love the homely feel of the App and choice of wood for the background. One particular highlight is definitely the use of video photographs of the various food bloggers, it creates an amazingly immersive experience!

FlickStackr
FlickStackr is an excellent way to browse Flickr on your iPad! The icon design is good which always helps to make the overall experience enjoyable. The use of thumbnails throughout is good and allows the wealth of Flickr photography to shine through!

De Story Cafe
Here we have a wonderfully cartoony logo for a chilled out cafe or bistro. I love the bold childlike lettering and speech bubble idea! The colours are what make this logo a really appealing proposition, they make an immediate statement about the atmosphere of the establishment.

Steve Service
A stunning site for a kitchen design company! I love the massive photographic slideshow and the incredible impact it has when you first visit the page! The logo is stylish but subtle and works really well on the slightly transparent menu bar.

Aribeo
A wonderful portfolio site for a creative freelancer! I love that the sidebar remains stationary while you scroll through the gallery to the \'about me\' section. The minimalism of this design is great and perfectly adorned with little handwritten comments and doodles.

Bagatelle Records
An immediately intriguing site for a vinyl record shop based in Long Beach. The illustrations work well to hold a visitors attention although there\'s a lot more that could be done with vinyl art. I like the use of typeface and division of the 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.

Eveline 1911
A whole site devoted to a boat! The map based background adds interest while the fundamental content is easily readable and contained with the central boxes. I like the straightforward use of a header for all navigation purposes.

Sko Design Lab
An excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!

Another beautifully designed App from Sophia Teutschler! Groceries has a simple pinboard and note paper aesthetic which is very enjoyable to use. Overall the interface is intuitive and features excellent typefaces and icon design.

Egil Paulsen
A fascinating design for a business card! Each one can fold out into an easel that holds a piece of art by the designer. I love that the concept is the focus here, the information on the card is displayed simply and clearly on the back.

Rebate Tracker
While not being the most interesting App in the world, Rebate Tracker almost makes up for it with its gorgeous interface! The wood effect background is great and perfectly compliments the overall feel of the app. I love the massive plus icon and the luxurious use of space!
