Little Thunder

A superb portfolio site for a design agency that uses scrolling effectively to draw your attention through their various projects.

Local Library

A simple, yet effective logo for a local library that uses colour to make an impact.

Kimberly Schwede

A very distinctive site for an Illustrator and graphic designer from San Francisco. I like the strong illustrative style and the simple use of navigation. The colours alone make an immediate impact!

Touchscreen Slider

Sometimes, the colour of an element can do wonders for an interface. This is one of those occasions. Another grey slider would have made this a mundane design at best, but the perspective and bright colour of the slider makes it jump right out at you.

VP

Here we have a mockup for a logo that uses white space very effectively. I like the red tones and the consistent sense of curvature. The overall shape makes a strong impact, making a mark in your memory.

Education Icons

I love the illustrative style of these icons and the interesting use of a unique colour palette. They all fit together with ease, but are distinct unique from every other icon set.

In Things

A clean concept for an iPhone app user interface that takes a firm line on the grid layout. I like the use of typography and the structured grid layout.

GiftRocket Icons

Some excellent new icons for http://www.giftrocket.com. I really like the illustrative style and bright selection of colours. The coloured circles work well on the neutral background and perfectly highlight the gift items.

Netlings

A clean and stylish site for a company that provides website production services. I like the use of colour to differentiate between their various options. The use of icons is good, as is the intuitive layout and concise use of text.

Antoine Wette

A brilliant portfolio site that takes a very fresh and unique approach to the layout and design. I love the way the gallery flows and the use of dramatic colour shifts to make an impact. The simplicity of the site and restrained use of descriptive text works well in this instance.

Digital Hands

A solid site for a brand communication agency. I like the bold focal image and the subtle interactivity. The layout is clear and intuitive, although the important descriptive text could be made more striking.

Personal Wellness Revolution

A great logo for a fitness company! The word revolution is perfectly played out in the shape of the logo. I particularly like the red colour that\'s been used here, although I do feel the central design should have been properly symmetrical.

BrainBurst

This is a fun, if slightly gruesome, logo. The big and bold font works well and makes you want to read it! I love the graphical representation of the brain and the fun nature of the overall design.

RBLmon

A pretty typical layout but still attractive. The textured color bar at the top is nice and I like the glossy button treatments.

Red Tiki

This page is both incredibly fun and incredibly beautiful. The textures, color and illustrations are all perfectly executed and the tiki theme is hilarious. I love the Twitter bird with the mask and the little animated guys at the bottom of the page.

CodeGeister

A simple two column layout with a large header graphic. I like the heavy use of icons throughout the page and the pop of bright color in all the right places.

Kean Richmond

I really like the letterpressed typography and mixture of soft and bold colors in this site. The brightly colored thumbnails have a nice rounded corner border and turn grayscale when you hover over them. If you stop by the site, be sure to check out the nice graphic in the footer. Another great feature is the "back to top" button that stays with you as you scroll.

Formee

Formee is a framework to help you develop and customize web based forms The bright colors and beautiful character illustration on this page drew me in instantly.
