A superb icon for an iOS app that makes excellent use of textures to make an impact. I really like the use of green for the icon, helping it stand out from the swathes of blue icons in the App Store.

Stylish Sync Icon
A sync icon vector that was inspired by the Firefox Sync icon. I like the distinctive colour palette and the use of shading that adds depth to the icon. The use of the classic circling arrows aids immediate recognition of the purpose of the icon.

Responsive Design
A strong site for a designer that makes an immediate statement with its bold use of a single colour. That the single colour is orange helps the site to instantly make an imprint on your mind. I also rather like the typography.

Knit Twitter Icon
An interesting concept for an alternative Twitter icon that makes great use of texture. The knitted bird works well to make you look again, although it's certainly not a direction Twitter themselves would ever go.

Volunteer Louisiana
A simply gorgeous site for a volunteering charity for Louisiana. I really like the combination of photographic elements with graphic design. My one complaint is that the static header is quite large and obscures a significant proportion of the content proper.

An intriguing site for the world's no. 1 elasticated table game. The use of simple illustrations is great and adds character to the site. I really like the typeface used and the simple left hand navigation. The game certainly looks fascinating!
