DropIn
A simple site for a piece of software that works as an in-tray for your Dropbox. I like the simple but memorable graphics and the restrained use of text. The blue colour helps to link it to the service that it's complementing.

iPhone Icon Design
A simple but effective site for an icon design company. The use of icons is, unsurprisingly, very good and gives a good impression of their work. I like the intuitive layout and clear headings, you immediately know what the site is about.

Tinkering Monkey
A great, and gorgeous, site for a pair of designers and their woodworking studio. I love the custom typeface and consistent use of colour. I like that the gallery of pieces doesn't use borders, it helps the products to make their own impact.

A great site that solely comprises of a curated 404 not found gallery. I like the non-standard layout and simple navigation. The staff badges that indicate favourite entries are great and help to give the browsing experience some direction.

Hindukusch
A gorgeous design for some business cards! I absolutely love the brand identity and use of patterns throughout. The colour is also intriguing, the green perfectly complementing the neutral colour of the text and details.

Health Monitoring Mirror
A fascinating concept for a mirror that monitors your health. The mirror itself is the user interface, I like the simplicity of it. The small module at the top of the mirror is great, I like the curvature and organic shape.

Howl Fire
This one is a good combination of a special cut and clever design. The jagged edge combined with the graphics make it look like the card was burned, perfect for a company called Howl Fire.
