FortySeven Media
A brilliant site for a design agency that looks to blow the competition away. I like the use of typography throughout and the open nature of the site - although I'm not convinced by the cheeky head shots.

Colour Picker
A great interface design for an iPhone app that takes a very different approach to the one taken by the majority. I like the focus on typography and texture, the custom buttons and unique styling help this app to stand out.

Lighted Rocker Switch
An indescribably gorgeous replication of a physical rocker switch, made by someone who clearly values diligence and attention to detail. I love the way the lighting has been created, and the use of texture to add depth to the design.

Sean Lipidis
A simply designed, but effective portfolio site for a graphic designer. I particularly like the size of the thumbnails in the grid layout. It's not the most original design, but it works for this purpose.

A beautiful example of an interface element, an analog control to be precise. I particularly like the attention to detail and use of lighting ideas. There's a certain perspective that helps to add depth and presence to the design.
