Attain Design
A clean and efficient site for a full service design agency based in Staffordshire. The consistent use of colour works well, as does the large slider. The footer also works brilliantly to give you all the information you could need to find.

A simply jaw dropping icon for an iOS app! I love the sheer attention to detail and the gorgeous textures. The use of lighting effects really helps to set this icon apart. It would look great on any home screen.

Sideshow Theme
Sideshow is a funktastic portfolio theme for the artsy fartsy with a built-in Tumblr style blogging system. It’s simple, to the point, and does little to distract viewers away from your work but everything to showcase it – exactly how a portfolio should function.

An excellent example of icon design for iOS that makes great use of little details. I love the texture of the table surface and the wood grain. The lighting and reflections, on the ball in particular, add great depth to the icon.

Twelve Saturdays
A gorgeous example of a fashion site, Twelve Saturdays makes good use of typography and intuitive design. The only issue for me is the way the footer keeps running away from you!

A good example of a logo that uses strong colours to make an impact. I like the fiery colours and bold mark of this company. The typeface is relatively standard, but clear and readable.

Player
A solid icon design for an iPhone app. I like the adherence to detail, such as the notches beside the slider. It would have been nice, however, to have more detail on the vinyl itself.

Going above and beyond with the personal touch is sure to make an impact on people you meet. I really like the friendly nature of this business card. That it's specific for a single conference helps to make it that much more personal.

Friends Screen
A simple but effective interface element for a web app. I like the use of icons and the adherence to clean design. The reserved colours of the interface help to let the thumbnail images make an impact.

A fascinating branding contradiction, wine in a beer bottle... I really like the illustrative style and use of typography, but surely this can only create confusion.
