Darwin is a simple to use responsive WordPress theme, it can be used for almost any purpose: blog, business, portfolio, magazine. I like the clean design of this theme and the effortless way it responds to the users browser.

An excellent joystick element for an iPhone game that simply oozes with detail. The crisp lines and touchable textures help to make this joystick work visually, whether it works practically on the iPhone is another matter entirely.

A fascinating portfolio site for a designer that asks you to use the arrow keys to navigate. While this could be a hindrance going into the future, it does give the site a unique feel.

This logo certainly makes an impact, the octopus a strong example of visual imagery. It uses a well-used format for a logo, but the mark and typeface manage to look coherent and effective.

A simple logo that uses a well-trodden, but effective concept to make a mark. I like the stark use of black and white, and the intriguing shape of the whale.

This theme is designed perfectly for events. This theme utilizes a custom calendar system unlike any other. With Eventure, only the dates with actual events will show up, maximizing space and ease of use. I like the bold use of contrast and intuitive layout.

A solid icon for an iPhone app that makes good use of textures. I like the wood frame and the attention this designer has given to detail. The purpose of the app isn't entirely clear, but it'd look great on your home screen nonetheless.

An example of branding that makes an impact through its unique use of colour and shape. The orange of the background immediately grabs your attention, while the mark itself really works as a combination of house and detonator.

A brilliant site for a design agency that looks to blow the competition away. I like the use of typography throughout and the open nature of the site - although I'm not convinced by the cheeky head shots.

A miscellaneous site that's designed to explore type on the web through the use of a 'Font Bird.' I like the simple nature of the design and, predictably, the use of typography.

A great interface design for an iPhone app that takes a very different approach to the one taken by the majority. I like the focus on typography and texture, the custom buttons and unique styling help this app to stand out.

A simple, but effective, interface element that just works. It could be even more effective if there was a little more texture on the control itself. I like the faded lights around the outside of the knob.

An indescribably gorgeous replication of a physical rocker switch, made by someone who clearly values diligence and attention to detail. I love the way the lighting has been created, and the use of texture to add depth to the design.

A simply designed, but effective portfolio site for a graphic designer. I particularly like the size of the thumbnails in the grid layout. It's not the most original design, but it works for this purpose.

Switchblade is a clean theme that would work well for a variety of sites, from businesses to personal portfolios. I like the customisable options (it comes with 8 pre-defined colours) and the use of icons and typography throughout.
