Simple but effective business cards that catch the eye but also allow quick access to the contact information. The swirling red design is nicely detailed and helps to highlight rather than distract from the vital numbers and text! I particularly like the large and clear typeface used throughout!

Photoshop Express for iPhone
A beautifully minimal and simple App from Adobe for editing photos on your iPhone. I love the simple grey icons and controls and the way the App works exactly as you\'d expect it to! The uncluttered feel and generous amount of space left for the subject matter is excellent and makes the App a pleasure to use.

A clean logo that makes good use of typeface. I like the handwriting effect combined with the use of a straightforward typeface for the description. The detail on the leaves is a nice touch that helps to elevate the design!

A great App for finding places of interest based on your location. Where To? is made by its excellent interface and wonderfully designed custom icons. I particularly like how intuitive and enjoyable the interface is to use!

Thomas Antiques
An excellent site for an antiques seller. The use of neutral colours allows the slideshow of fascinating antiques to flourish. The central logo is perfect and makes a good statement. It\'s also worth noting that the site continues to fascinate as you move downwards - using antique photography and simple descriptive text.

Oye Corazon
Relatively simple but extremely effective packaging for a CD. I love the use of just two colours throughout and the consistent graphical style. The continuation of the design onto the CD itself is excellent and shows great attention to detail.

A beautiful site for a bed and breakfast. The use of a three photograph slideshow works well as a focal point while the remainder of the site exudes class and style. I particularly like the nice touches of detail and typeface used.

A logo design that makes a great impact. I like the cut out feel of the bird logo while the use of white on red works well. I particularly like the subtly custom typeface used for the company name.

The incorporation of the rocket in this logo is great. It\'s bold, eye-catching, and makes the brand recognisable. I particularly like the custom typeface used alongside a subtle colour palette.

Things for iPad
A clear and beautiful iPad interface is what Things brings to the table. I like the simple use of colour to highlight key sections of the design. I find the custom icons give the App character while the inclusion of a \'Someday\' tab is great!

Muno Cafe Bistro
Great use of a neutral palette and textured background. The interweaving of the letters works well while the text beneath clarifies the nature of the business.

This site features a beautiful, bold red color scheme and a strong layout with excellent use of whitespace. There is also a lot clever JavaScript happening here. I actually thought the site was Flash when it first loaded.

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.
