A beautiful example of an interface element, an analog control to be precise. I particularly like the attention to detail and use of lighting ideas. There's a certain perspective that helps to add depth and presence to the design.

Two Rivers
A subtle and understated logo that uses a muddy green colour rarely seen in graphic design. The overall effect is actually quite effective, the neutral and earthy colours highlighting the contrast between the background and the river blue.

Wunderkind
A simply great logo that sticks in your mind from the first time you see it. The use of the first letter of the brand as the mark always works well to aid recognition. I particularly like the symmetry and the use of orange for the mark.

Ui by Brian Potstra
A wonderfully clean example of user interface design. I love the slider on the right, it's just begging to be touched. The glow of the red button is a great touch that adds life and depth to the design.

Frontend 2011
An appropriately designed site for a front-end developers conference, I like the consistent theme and use of typography. The caricatures of the speakers are a novel way to add illustrative interest.

A simple but strong design for a business card that makes an impact solely with type. The colour palette is relatively neutral but gives the cards a sleek and stylish feel.

A wonderfully sleek example of personal branding. The matt black works supremely well! The cohesion between the designs is really strong, they're easily recognisable as belonging together.
