The long awaited Twitter App perfectly suits the iPhone and makes it easier than ever to keep up with the world. The interface is simple but allows the content to thrive while the custom icons add design interest.

Billings Touch
A clear and intuitive invoicing App. The clarity of the design is great, while the use of colour throughout works very effectively. I particularly like the use of three simple tabs and the standardised header.

Artists for Charity
A fascinating logo design intended for a charity. It doesn\'t have one clear focal point but remains clear due to the good use of white and black for the text. I particularly like the reserved but effective use of colour.

The header on this site steals the show. It features a great cityscape photo with an animated transition. Notice how the text on the photographic background has been treated. It is not easy to place text over such a busy photo but this solution is both easy and attractive.

Loopt
Loopt is an App designed to help you discover the world around you and connect with friends. It makes a great feature of plotting important spots on the map using its customised icons. Bright, colourful, intuitive, and overall a brilliant effort.

Keymote
Keymote wirelessly controls practically anything on your Mac from your iPhone using shortcuts. Considering its powerful capabilities its interface is refreshingly simple! It\'s good that Keymote keeps itself intuitive by retaining standard UI buttons such as the plus sign used for adding a new shortcut. However I do like the design of the large buttons that allow you to create shortcuts.

Fusion Ads Bundle
This Fusion Ads Holiday Bundle is a great deal for designers, offering some fantastic software and icons for an excellent price. The design makes strong use of typography, feels festive, and has some of the most carefully crafted copy I\'ve read in a long time. A must see (and buy!)

The Bones Brigade DJs
A strangely morbid but attractive site announcing the end of a group of DJs. Check out the interesting diamond graphics used for the music players, a refreshingly unique idea.

Doodle Jump
Doodle Jump by Lima Sky is a great iPhone game with a brilliant interface! The bright colours and hand drawn look really add to the game experience. Of particular note are the wide variety of gorgeous themes available to transform the interface.

I really like the simple and effective use of tabs in this App - especially the curved \'Share\' tab. The use of user photography throughout the interface is great while the way in which Instagram previews its filter effect is also a nice touch.

TidyPSD
An interesting service idea, this site will convert your messy PSDs to tidy ones. The content is nicely organized with subtle dashed lines for structure and two clear sections created by different background colors. Overall a great layout.

NZ By Bike
Stop by this page and see the unique sketchy 3D style they have going on with the text and boxes of content. The page does a great job of organizing a ton of content in a really attractive manner.

NeedStyle
A refreshingly original designer portfolio with lots of personalization. Obviously, the large letterpress effect is the hero of the design and really grabs your attention with contrast.

One Page Wonders
One Page Wonders is a really unique looking web design gallery showcasing single page sites. The treatment of the page previews is really nice: I love the large vertical thumbnails and the ticket theme.

This is a very simple site with two key design elements: typography and color. The type choices are really quite nice, I like the inset letterpress look. The colors are mostly uniform but still quite bright and friendly.

c3 Media
This site uses dark colors and grunge textures to set a young and edgy vibe. I particularly liked the hover effect on the navigation area. It stretches all the way to the top and is sort of a faux lighting illusion.

A strong but simple page design utilizing a single column. I love how big everything on the page seems. Every element on display takes up nearly the full browser window and the typography is well above normal.

TekRoc
A really sharp looking design that is very horizontal and uses lots of contrast to really grab the viewer. The images in the huge slider are fantastic, the textured black background is perfect and the six service section are handled very well. This is an excellent site to use for solid layout inspiration.

Definitely one of the more unique sites we have ever featured. The page is essentially a block of text with icons thrown in. I love both the idea and the execution, it conveys a sense of fun and lightheartedness.

This unique portfolio site features sort of a dark and mysterious design. It is a bit different than the type of design we normally feature and should inspire you to consider alternate styles when creating something that really fits your personality.
