Delibar
A small but powerful App for using Delicious on your Mac. Delibar\'s consistent incorporation of web icons and carefully designed layout is extremely effective while the textured blue throughout looks great. I particularly like the use of tabs and excellent icon design.

bmedia
A stunning and effortlessly classy business card for a media firm. The use of neon blue on a semi-transparent card looks awesome! I particularly like the way the card has been displayed here and the way there is still a clear back and front!

Web Effectual
You expect design portfolios to be good and this is no exception. The bold use of text and colour makes for a friendly and welcoming site that urges you to read on! I\'m not a huge fan of the background colour but the beautiful typefaces used throughout more than make up for it.

Pulse News
A gorgeous news and article reader from the good people at Alphonso Labs. The simple Pulse logo really appeals to me while the use of light blue throughout is very effective. I particularly like the sketches that guide you though how to use Pulse.

Homepage Helden
A clear and stylish corporate web design with excellent custom icons and an animated header. I like the clean layout of the site and its colour swatch. The animated white dots (while essentially superfluous) are a nice detail.

Osfoora
A relatively new Twitter client that uses white on black throughout. I really like the use of a home screen with nine icons but something about the detail of the icons doesn\'t work for me. The Twitter stream looks good in black and white but there could be more space in the layout.

DJ Reeact
The perfect business card for an aspiring DJ - bright, colourful, and designed to make an impact. I like the use of the attention grabbing slogan on the front of the card in conjuction with the simple details on the back.

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!)

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.

Floatnet
Floatnet uses very simple design that is also quite attractive. I like the slab serif typography and the simple sliding image gallery.

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.

Intrepid Olive
This site has a nice textured background and a few beautiful illustrations that really make the site feel custom and unique. I particularly like the mountain illustration at the bottom of the page. It is not shown in its entirety above so be sure and stop by the site and scroll down to see it.

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.

Fox Law
A nice looking corporate theme that plays it safe by using a very typical but also very functional layout. The thick color bar works well and highlights the jQuery slider perfectly.

Picnet
This site using a large colorful gradient with an interesting overlay that makes it look pixelated. I love that this eye-tracking website is implementing its own not so subtle trick to direct your attention toward specific areas.

Enchanted Illusions
This site could use some work on the details but the overall look is colorful and attractive. I like the tabbed layout with the animated hover effects and image slider. I might suggest having another go at the typography and icons though.

Reportage Photography
Photographer sites are best when the designer lets the photos speak for themselves by making them the largest element on the page. This designer definitely got it right. The classy minimalist design really helps highlight the work o display.
