Ink & Oil
A solid example of a business card that's bound to make an impression. The use of green on grey works well, as does the way the blotchy style ties in with the name of the agency.

Third Coast
A strong logo that makes an impression by creating an intriguing mark from the key letters. The colours work well with the anchor design, as does the slightly angular typeface.

QQ Desktop
A concept user interface for an Android phone, using contained circular icons. I particularly like the way the designer has chosen to use the borders to convey the idea behind each icon, rather than keep them all the same.

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.
