A gorgeous design for a web interface. I love the bold and consistent use of red throughout and the ingenious use of video content. I particularly like the unique menu design, it certainly asks questions about the future of interactive sites on the web.

The minimal approach works really well here! The choice to use white on black is great and helps to make the card immediately useful. However, what ultimately makes this design is the gorgeous textured card and engraved nature of the text.

This is a fantastic site for a jewellery designer! I love the impact of the header and use of high quality photographs to capture the beauty of the diamonds. The way the body of the site scrolls upwards while the header remains works well here, while I particularly like the transparency of the logo.

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.

Who\'s Guest
Who's Guest is a good example of a portfolio for a graphic designer. The highlighting effect that comes into play as you scroll over each design is very effective at holding your attention. I like the faded photographic background but find the overall alignment of the site doesn't quite work for me.

Locus
A fascinating design for an operating system that changes depending on your location. This is something that could potential work very effectively on a tablet, its interface shifting to be suitable for each particular place/situation. I like the sleek and futuristic sheen that's been given to the interface.

Wells Riley
A striking home site for a graphic designer. I think the decision to keep the text at an absolute minimum unless the user requests it works really well here. Using switches helps to make it an immersive experience and further intrigue any prospective clients, although it may also put some off.

World Cup Game Schedule
A brilliant calendar design that features all of the information you could have wanted about the World Cup. Its beautiful design ethic combined with its intuitive layout makes for a great user experience. I particularly like the circular design used here for the final 16.

NFD
A striking and memorable personal logo for a designer. The use of red is really effective at holding your eyes, while the typeface is straightforward but clean nonetheless. I like the concept of a circular badge-like design for a personal logo, it's nicely contained and would work well as a thumbnail.

Made by Chipmunk
An incredibly vibrant and colourful site for a graphic designer. It makes an immediate statement about the personality of the designer and the style of his work. I love the simple and clean design of the portfolio gallery, it works well in contrast to the rest of the site.

UN01 iPhone Photography Kit
An interesting concept for an iPhone 4 case that mimics the shape of a point and shoot camera. Its intention is to change the way you interact with your iPhone, a fascinating idea. I particularly like the design of the white case but find the addition of straps a little clumsy.

IWANNABEADESIGNER
A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer. I like the restrained use of text, such as the bullet point list, as it helps a visitor to grasp the point of the site quickly.

Arnsdorf
Here we have a crystal-inspired pop-up invitation and an intricately folded poster look book for a women's wear collection by Jade Sarita Arnott. The use of unique paper design immediately changes the way we interact with the material. The way the poster look book unfolds causes the recipient to engage rather than switch off.

Fool\'s Errand Design
An awesome portfolio site for a freelance designer. The unique approach to layout here is fascinating and works well to get visitors engaged. The entertaining, and slightly tongue in cheek, tagline makes an immediate impact.

Orishiki (Clutch bag)
A fascinating design for a clutch bag. It's made from a single piece of two dimensional structure, constructed of triangular segments which can be folded like origami. The concept is intriguing, although it remains to be seen whether it can take off as a fashion item.

A clean and stylish site for a North London based hairdressers. I like the use of a monochrome scheme for the background, it really helps the photographs to make an impact. I particularly like the intuitive design and how easy it is to grasp what the site is for.

Jorge Riera
A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.

Lemonjam
While white on yellow is a rare colour selection, possibly because of the inherent lack of contrast, this logo concept really works for me. I love the boldness of the design and how well it works with the name! While the colour makes a great impact, the lemon logo could make a stronger statement were the designer to drop the detail on the lemon segments.
