Hipstamatic

Hipstamatic is an awesome App that brings back the look, feel, and unpredictable beauty of plastic toy cameras from the past! Its interface has been lovingly designed and looks stunning! The depth of detail is awe inspiring, with each lens, film, and flash looking unique and individual.

Kreeate

A great portfolio site that effectively uses coloured borders to grab your attention. The logo is simple but is recognisable and makes a good statement. I particularly like the fun central illustration.

farrkling

The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

The Font Game

The Font Game is an App that is perfect for passionate designers and illustrators and as such needs to have a stunning interface. Fortunately it lives up to expectation; utilising space and icons brilliantly, keeping it simple, and focusing on the fonts!

Alex Noren

This site uses an awesome full-page slideshow an beautiful photography. Sometimes the best design statement can be made by just showcasing great photography and minimizing the actual UI.

Barca

This site uses a beautiful slideshow of photographic textures in such a way that it actually feels like the site is shifting hues due to the brightly colored slides. I also really the like the headline typography, the engraved shadow look is very nice.

Volusion

This friendly looking site features a rich primary color palette and a very web 2.0 feel. The sketches over the photograph make the space more inviting and lighthearted and the use of icons really helps break up the content into manageable chucnks.

For The Record

For the record is an interesting site that features attractive infographics mostly built with CSS3. I like the retro feel in conjunction with simple shapes and bright colors. The combination really comes together to complete the overall feeling of the design.

Pancake Payments

Pancake is a way to receive and track payments and project deliverables. The cartoony illustration style is fun and the bright colors work well together. The overall design is quite clean with plenty of white space.

Agile Style

An interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.

Ricky B

This site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.

Local Wisdom

This site is fantastically unique in just about every way possible. From the crazy illustrated background to the original 3D ribbon navigation area, it all has a high quality custom feel that is hard to find and easy to appreciate.

Scriptmatix

Scriptmatix is a software company specializing in business solutions. The layered website showcase is attractive and I like the typefaces that were used. The large red button is a bit awkwardly placed but stands out well and successfully grabs your attention.

Cromulent Design

This site features a bright green background and funny illustrated characters hanging upside down from the top of the screen. If you visit the site, be sure to scroll down to the well designed footer featuring a tree and some Twitter birds.
