Appetites
Appetites is a simply gorgeous iPad App that teaches you how to cook using luscious videos content and detailed instructions! I love the homely feel of the App and choice of wood for the background. One particular highlight is definitely the use of video photographs of the various food bloggers, it creates an amazingly immersive experience!

Aribeo
A wonderful portfolio site for a creative freelancer! I love that the sidebar remains stationary while you scroll through the gallery to the \'about me\' section. The minimalism of this design is great and perfectly adorned with little handwritten comments and doodles.

ClassicINSTA
ClassicINSTA is an iPhone App that aims to replicate the feel and output of a classic camera. Its interface is vital in achieving that end and creating an enjoyable retro experience. I really like the design of the interface and find the red shutter button particularly enticing!

The first thing that hits you here is the striking header! It\'s brave to use so much space on a single image but it really works here. The contrast between the light header and dark grey background of the rest of the site is really effective, as is the consistent use of the same design ideas!

iWant
iWant is a multipurpose App for finding anything from restaurants to cinemas and is really quite enjoyable to use! I particularly like the bold yellow icons and the unique design behind the star rating system!

Northern Bee Auctions
An interesting site for a Beekeeping auction. I like the use of photography and fascinating typeface used! The layout of the site is intuitive and allows you to immediately get the information that you want!

Chemical Design
A blindingly simple logo for a design company! I like the chemical idea and clean execution although a little more detail could have worked well. A clear two colour design is easy to reproduce in any format.

Tube Map
An excellent App that\'s perfect for navigating the London tube! The implementation of the official tube line colours is perfect and makes the maps immediately recognisable. The custom icons are great while the bright blue wonderfully livens up the interface!

A straightforward but undeniably effective portfolio for a web designer. The intuitive header is good and I like the size and readability of the main typeface. The coffee mug and cookie design is a nice touch and adds interest to the focal area of the site.

The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

Articles for iPad
Articles for iPad is simply the best way to view Wikipedia. The interface is gorgeous and makes each page supremely readable. I particularly like the simple but intuitive icons and use of red for the links.

A stylish business card perfectly suited to any designer. The texture of the background is great when contrast with the simple white text. The overall colour palette is effective and suits the geometry of the design.

Bold and simple business cards for any designer. I love the faded use of the logo under the black section of the card. This card really makes an impact with its use of strong geometric shapes!

I love the clean and classy appeal of this design. The 3D banner at the top, the serifed type on white, all very nice. The talent on showcase here is really interesting as well, be sure to stop by and check it out!

Galeria Legnika
A classy but simple logo design that only uses black and white. The logo remains recognisable even when the colours are inverted which would be incredibly useful if you need a logo to suit any situation.

I do not have a clue what this site is about but I think it is beautiful. I love the big circle and the representation of Japan. The writing is also excellently rendered and placed. A great pice of design in any language!

This site uses lots of simple but interesting 3D work. There is a cube theme that is carried out in various ways across the site. Be sure to check out the little animated videos near the middle of the page, they are quite fun!

Wows
This strange site uses a horizontal format and a ton of silhouette artwork. It is a unique idea pulled off in a unique way. Definitely worth stopping by to have a look!

ShelfLuv
This site builds a selection of books for you instantly as you type in a query. The design is very much like that of the Apple iBooks interface with a nice wooden bookshelf that displays cover art, often with a Kindle peeking out from behind the book.
