Caffeine Creative
A bright and immediately striking site for a web design agency. The use of yellow as a focal colour works very effectively! The use of typeface really helps to engage visitors, but some of the sizing of the text further down the page, while obviously intended to highlight certain things, is a little distracting.

Fanticy
A beautifully twee site for a company that specialises in cakes and decoration. I love the use of quaint illustrations throughout and the handwriting-esque typeface used, it all works perfectly together! I also particularly like the colour palette. Somehow it draws you in and urges you to consider a cake purchase!

Yell for iPhone
The Yell.com App for the iPhone is incredibly useful and supremely easy to use. This is down to the intuitive design of its interface and huge database of information. I love the great icon design and use of bright yellow throughout, and the augmented reality mode is simply fascinating!

Center Of Attention
This gorgeous site is dedicated to the artwork, graphics and logos of record center labels. I love the minimal layout and the way the record collection is thrust immediately into the limelight! The header typeface is excellent and superbly striking while the overall design lends itself perfectly to enjoyable browsing!

Dascola Barbers
This is an effective site for a Barbers that uses a cartoon style to give out a friendly vibe. I like the use of the two main figures as a focal point and the bold colours used on a sparse background. I do find the name of the barbers difficult to read, which could be clarified by the use of a simpler font, but the animated Barber Shop sign is a nice touch

Krkoska
A stylish card for a hotel business. The colour palette is great, while the incorporation of natural design elements makes an immediate impression. I particularly like how the colours have been inverted on the back of the card.

James Headrick
A stylish business card perfectly suited to any designer. The texture of the background is great when contrast with the simple white text. The overall colour palette is effective and suits the geometry of the design.

A nice looking site with plenty of textures and bright colors. The content has been kept simple and reads very well. I especially like the large, attention grabbing button.

Nagoya
I do not have a clue what this site is about but I think it is beautiful. I love the big circle and the representation of Japan. The writing is also excellently rendered and placed. A great pice of design in any language!

This site uses bold colors and simple graphics with a high level of eye-catching contrast. When you reload the page the color of the site changes along with the shirts the guys are wearing. I love the integration of the live map into the bottom of the page, an awesome touch!

Green Onion
This site features a boldly red design with lots of great textured and typography. The real hero of the design the os the photography. The beautiful photos really bring in that sense of professional design.

This simple but stunning web page uses high contrast graphics and deep colors to grab your attention. The hot air balloon is a nice touch and I love that big headline with heavily recessed type.

My Website Bites
A nice looking site that is oddly enough all about ugly websites. The design is fairly simple but the color scheme is quite nice and the photography used in the slideshow is humorously appropriate.

Juleco Design
A really nice freelance design portfolio with a solid layout and some fun illustrations. I really appreciate how well thought the entire page is from top to bottom. The area above the footer is just as nice as the header.

Harnods
A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.

Pars Kunt
This site features dark colors, rounded corners and a large slider that takes center stage. I really like the overall aesthetic, there is plenty to grab your attention but the site maintains a very professional look.

The web design sketchbook is a book containing various tools for mocking up websites. The website features a nice a simple design that showcases the product well. It is nice to see such a simple layout applied to a product website, which are commonly quite busy.
