Melodic Design
A great twist on using headphones in a logo. The use of orange and white is bold and works well alongside the relatively simple lines of the logo. I am unsure how well the text works, the typeface is clear but somehow the orange letters don\'t work for me.

Sir Chesterfield
This furniture site is minimal but extremely effective. The custom typeface is perfectly fitting for the company while the dark background adds an element of class to the whole site. I particularly like the high quality photographs of the sofas.

Rekon
A solid business card design that treads the line between being professional and standing out. The repeated company name works really well, as does the colour palette. Yellow on grey is a popular colour selection but remains effective.

iStudiez Pro
A sophisticated student planner that sports a well thought out custom interface. The utilisation of the standard calendar is good but can feel a little too busy. The variety and design of the class icons is fantastic and a great detail!

A simple but effective business card. The use of lime green against the black is great while the simple fading effects really make an impact. I especially like the detail on the back of the card and how it perfectly frames the important information.

Fruit Ninja
Fruit Ninja is a highly entertaining game for the iPhone and iPad. Its gameplay is entirely based on the enjoyment of slicing virtual fruit and it\'s succesful because its interface and design make it undeniably addictive. I love the bright colours and the way each fruit splatters differently!

Flickr
The Flickr App for iPhone is, as expected, extremely well designed. The interface is clean and understated which allows the photos to take centre stage. I particularly like the intuitive layout and clear typeface used.

OmniFocus for iPad
Although Getting Things Done apps aren't always particularly "pretty", OmniFocus has done a remarkable job of making a beautiful iPad app. In particular, the "Forecast" and "Review" screens are particularly fantastic!

Alvena Business Cards
These business cards have a beautiful texture, rounded corners, and vivid colour. They certainly stand out from the norm. I particularly like the inverted use of the logo in white on the reverse of the card.

Botox Lips
Though the general concept of botox terrifies me, this site is actually really attractive. The bold photography and beautiful background texture really make for an attractive and high quality experience.

Presence Driven Music
Music sites are notoriously poor in their design but this one comes off quite classy. The rich, dark colors and beautiful photography work really well together.

This site is a really awesome piece of design that you really must stop by and scroll through. You will find awesome typography, retro illustrations and a lot more. The design progresses through different stages and ends on a really random but attractive note.

Kleeve
Kleeve sells custom t-shirts with unique illustrations. The product is displayed well on the homepage with high quality photography with a homegrown feel. The scribbled treatment at the top of the page is nice and reinforces the art element found in the shirts.

Row To The Pole
A beautiful and unique nautically themed site with a retro flare. The mixture of photography and illustration is excellent and the parallax scrolling effect is a really nice touch.

This site contains lots of beautiful graphics, colors, textures and typography. The designer really nailed trendy feminine design at its best. The layered scrapbook feeling works wonderfully here without venturing into cheesy.

A nicely illustrated page with bright colors and nice, large graphics. I especially like the stitched treatment in the logo, perfect for the homemade nature of the site.

This site features an amazing full screen illustration of an octopus at the ocean sketching both on paper and on a tablet. It sounds ridiculous but the execution is stunning. The use of color and lighting effects is truly masterful.

This site is an absolutely beautiful photography blog with an awesome collection of work and a brilliant layout. The little graphical banners and the old-style typography really finish of the design and give it a classy feel.
