Prologue
This particular site makes an immediate impact with its strong graphic approach. The paint splashes add interest and colour to what could otherwise be a functional and lifeless site. The consistent graphic style works well, although some of the paint splashes are a little distracting.

1minus1 Web Design
A gorgeous and beautifully animated site for a web development agency. I love the illustrations and simple flow of the animations. The minimal use of colour is extremely effective here and guides you through the core points of the site.

Zhng Design
A good example of a design site with a static header. The navigation bar is effective, it follows you smoothly and allows easy movement around the site. I like the relaxed colour palette and use of typography throughout.

Xcode Icon Concept
A great icon concept for Xcode that uses a gorgeous colour palette. I really like the design of the hammer and the perspective given to it. The little details, such as the slightly lifted paper, really help to make this icon work.

CAGE
An intriguing design site that allows you to showcase your work and get feedback from the community. I like some of the touted features, the ability to tag a section of a design with a comment is a particular favourite.

Tiny Icons
A great shot of a user interface that makes use of some rather small icons. I'm impressed at how much can be displayed by such small icons! I also particularly like the blue background colour and detail on the buttons.

User Profile
A really clean and effective piece of interface design here. I love the 'Available for freelance' section and the accompanying green light. The use of texture is great and really complements the overall design.

Custom Plastic Bags
A gorgeous site for a company that makes custom bags. The design examples make a great impact and perfectly showcase the quality of the bags. I particularly like the simple layout and intuitive structure of the site, it guides you through all the information you need.

The Device Lab
A fantastically clear logo that makes great use of perspective to make an impact. I really like the way the three colours work together and the choice to have the 'the' in a circle. The typeface here is utterly readable, something that can be very important when designing a functional and effective logo.

Navigation
I really like this simple approach to making a more engaging form of site navigation. The way you navigate a site has a real and definite impact on your user experience, this small change makes a difference. I particularly like the vibrant colours chosen to bring the navigation to life!

Simon Moore
This is an interesting personal logo design that uses its chosen highlight colour really effectively. I like the simplicity of the concept but find the typeface and lack of letter detailing can make it difficult to read on first glance. I do, however, love the isometric perspective!

Dribbbits for iPad
An elegant solution for using Dribbble on your iPad. I love that it gives over almost 100% of the space to design work and keeps the interface elements out of the way! The gallery looks awesome in simple grey shades and really allows the designs to take centre stage.

BgPatterns
BgPatterns is a tiny web app for making background patterns in a few clicks. It\'s a simple but delightful App to use and a great tool. I particularly like the simple toolset and the intuitive layout.

OneThree
An effortlessly simple logo that somehow manages to be instantly recognisable. The blue and grey colours used work really well together and perfectly suit the abstract name of the company. I particularly like the way different hues of blue combine to make the \'3\' logo pop off the page!

Background Labs
A great looking site that features a wide variety of Photoshop backgrounds, patterns, textures, and graphics. I love the way the greyed out Facebook, Twitter, and RSS icons spring into colour as you scroll over them! The site is intuitively laid out and features a nice section for seeing the most popular tags!
