Audio Input
A gorgeous interface element for an audio input that uses shadows particularly effectively. The textures and lighting effects add a great deal of depth to the design.

The Work of Jason Perez
A great example of a grid layout, this site is entirely consumed by a fascinating design portfolio. I love the colour variety and diversity of the images, while the black boxes add some interesting contrast to the design.

Kaishinlab
A clean and intriguing site for a designer that uses subtlety to draw you in. I like the clean layout and restrained use of contrast. The colourful gallery of design shots is in sharp contrast to the rest of the site.

Halifax Game Jam!
A simple but effective site for a gaming meet up. I really like the illustrative style and the colour palette. The use of classic gaming icons and graphics immediately gives direction to the site.

These coasters are rather gorgeous design pieces aimed at promoting the Insites tour, a series of design-focussed talks and discussions across the UK. I love the use of colour here and the perfection with which these have been printed.

A jaw-droppingly gorgeous design for a game icon. I love the fantastic detail on the sword itself and the lighting effects. Even the map and trial look simply great!

Bob\'s Your Uncle
A fascinating branding contradiction, wine in a beer bottle... I really like the illustrative style and use of typography, but surely this can only create confusion.

eBay Box
A brilliant design for a recyclable and eco-friendly box for shipping items. I love the eco theme, complete with cartoon birds. The little quips inside the box and sense of humour is appealing and helps to give the box some character, hopefully encouraging reuse.

Queen Mary Tea
A gorgeous example of product packaging design that highlights the origin and style of a product. The quaint style emphasised here is beautifully reminiscent of the boutique tea contained within. I really like the selection of colours and the textured patterns, it really adds depth to the design.

R Monogram
A rather unique logo that uses just a 'R' for recognition purposes. The colours used in here give a retro twist to the concept.

Joshua Smith
A simply outstanding business card design! Made from metal and in the shape of a coin, you would think more than twice before you threw this away. Expensive, but a stunning way to make an impact.

Documentary
A stunning abstract icon for the film category 'documentary'. I really like the typeface and intriguing shapes and lines of the design. The use of negative space is effective and helps to make this icon memorable despite its abstract nature.
