Often typography forms an integral part of an interface. Here we have a shot from an intriguing typographical approach to the alphabet. I love the illustrative style and use of colour.

the works of Roel Wouters
A fascinating approach to site navigation that aims to engage users through its unique and disjointed layout. I like the odd design of this site and its quirky appeal. Making a site intentionally unintuitive can sometimes work to further engage visitors, a portfolio site like this is the perfect candidate for such an experiment.

A wonderfully deranged idea for a business card for a hairloss company! I love the concept, it could spark a slew of finger puppet based business cards. The quality of the image really helps to make this card work well, how can you resist?

Happenin'
An interesting logo that's all about the typeface. I really like the amount of detail that's been put into the typeface, the hole through the apostrophe is particularly nice! The colour palette is intriguing but actually seems to work pretty well!
