Nathan Rafter
A great portfolio site for a web designer that makes an immediate impact. I like the vibrant use of colour and simple layout. The only thing I'm not convinced by is what happens as you scroll over the central button, the boxes that appear look a little messy over the background.

A fascinating redesign of some icons, inspired by the iCloud icon. I like the impact that the unity of this icon collection has. The continuity and sheen of these icons helps to make them stand out.

Hollywood Fitness
A simple logo design for a fitness club based in LA. The black and white approach makes a strong statement and also makes for easy reproduction of the logo. I particularly like the badge design, it's memorable and clear.

EPIC
A bold and engaging site for a digital agency that specialises in creative design. I love the slider and the contrast between black and white. The three column layout below the slider works well, although it's a little text heavy.

Audio Player
A simple user interface design for an audio player. The wood grain works well with the chrome feel of the buttons. I like the compact design and the faux speaker holes on the display.

Robin Parker
A simple, and relatively short, site for a web designer. I like the restrained use of space, it helps to focus the attention of any visitors. The gallery works well, as does the personal logo and typography.

An intriguing and vividly colourful logo that immediately grabs your attention. I like the drop design and the use of shape and colour throughout. The design works very effectively against a white background, the colour really stands out.

Contrive Digital
A brilliantly engaging and striking site for a design agency. I love the sharp contrast between the colours and the unconventional layout. The use of typography is great, as is the use of a single case study.

Ehab Aref
A solid portfolio site for web designer that makes a strong impact. I like the clear description in the header and the textured background used. The gallery section uses a well worn but effective concept, showing a selection of designs on an iMac.
