Random Design
An interesting winged logo design that makes brilliant use of texture! I love the contrast of natural ideas (like wings) with more mechanical ones (like cogs). The colour palette is subtle but works excellently, particularly over this kind of textured background.

Appetites
Appetites is a simply gorgeous iPad App that teaches you how to cook using luscious videos content and detailed instructions! I love the homely feel of the App and choice of wood for the background. One particular highlight is definitely the use of video photographs of the various food bloggers, it creates an amazingly immersive experience!

De Story Cafe
Here we have a wonderfully cartoony logo for a chilled out cafe or bistro. I love the bold childlike lettering and speech bubble idea! The colours are what make this logo a really appealing proposition, they make an immediate statement about the atmosphere of the establishment.

BLISS
An immediately striking site that aims to capture the delightful bliss of working with this particular digital agency! The huge background photograph works brilliantly and perfectly suits the company name and philosophy. I also particularly like the simplicity of the logo!

Aribeo
A wonderful portfolio site for a creative freelancer! I love that the sidebar remains stationary while you scroll through the gallery to the \'about me\' section. The minimalism of this design is great and perfectly adorned with little handwritten comments and doodles.

Bagatelle Records
An immediately intriguing site for a vinyl record shop based in Long Beach. The illustrations work well to hold a visitors attention although there\'s a lot more that could be done with vinyl art. I like the use of typeface and division of the background!

James Oconnell
The personal portfolio of James O\'Connell features a screen-wide slideshow that makes a great impact. As a designer it\'s vital to showcase your work and design philosophy to any prospective clients and this is achieved here using a gallery of James\' recent work. I like the subtlety of the dark grey text on the light grey background. It\'s not something that immediately makes sense, but that works perfectly to allow the colourful designs to grab your attention.

Keith Cakes
A simple design for a homemade cake company that features mouth-watering photography! The typeface is great and the stripped back design allows your attention to be drawn to the beautiful treats on display.

Animal Virals
As the name implies, this site posts funny videos featuring animals. I really like the logo design and the textured background is not bad either. Overall, a fairly unique design for a video site.

Proxart
This design style is fairly trendy right now and I am beginning to see it more and more. The basic premise is a very modular, grid layout with large squares placed over a beautiful photographic background. The end product is really nice.

Delivery Status Touch
A supremely useful App for tracking your parcels and packages! The use of colour is extremely effective and stops the App overloading you with seemingly meaningless information. The functionality of this App is amazing and its intuitive interface only serves to make it more useful.

Urustar

Bill Bone Art
I love the clean and classy appeal of this design. The 3D banner at the top, the serifed type on white, all very nice. The talent on showcase here is really interesting as well, be sure to stop by and check it out!
