A clean and minimal site for a UX & product designer from the Ukraine. I like the simplicity of the header and effective contrast between black and white throughout the site. A gallery of previous work is a great way to add interest and colour to your site.

A beautiful and effortlessly minimal site that allows this designer's work to make an immediate impact. I love the subtle use of colour and restrained use of text. The gallery section really draws you in and gets you straight to the point.

A sleek and stylish App from the people at Fox! I like the consistent black and gold theme and businesslike approach to interface design. The use of thumbnails is good, as is the choice of typeface. The numbers and text are all clearly readable!

An intriguing site for a designer who focuses on \'typographically sound\' design. It\'s interesting that it\'s so stripped back and minimal and simply includes a shot from his latest project rather than a gallery. I do, however, like the focal slideshow and the beautiful graphical detail on each slide.

As probably the foremost Twitter client (if you ignore Twitter\'s own client) TweetDeck has a lot of weight on its shoulders. It certainly lives up to the hype with its gorgeous interface designed specifically for the iPad. I love the logo and stylish grey colour scheme!

A wonderfully deranged idea for a business card for a hairloss company! I love the concept, it could spark a slew of finger puppet based business cards. The quality of the image really helps to make this card work well, how can you resist?

An awesome site for professional windsurfer Sean O'Brien. I love the graphic design ideas and how it all fits in a single window with no scrolling! The simple drop down navigation bar is a nice touch, as is the detailing on the logo!

Omnigraffle is a carefully thought out App for creating a quick diagram or process chart on your iPad. The menu bar is really effective at giving you all your options in one single place, leaving the rest of the space for your colourful diagrams!

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.

A clean and intuitive site for a graphic designer and frontend web developer. It\'s a good example of effective selection of typefaces, the name of the site is interesting and made a focal point while the main text is in a more clearly readable typeface. I particularly like the portfolio gallery and the differently sized thumbnails of each project!

FlickStackr is an excellent way to browse Flickr on your iPad! The icon design is good which always helps to make the overall experience enjoyable. The use of thumbnails throughout is good and allows the wealth of Flickr photography to shine through!

Sometimes designing a great interface is more about what you leave out. Simplenote is a superb example of a consistently minimal approach to interface design! It\'s intuitive, clear, and just \'works\'!

An elegant solution for using Dribbble on your iPad. I love that it gives over almost 100% of the space to design work and keeps the interface elements out of the way! The gallery looks awesome in simple grey shades and really allows the designs to take centre stage.

An immediately intriguing site for a creative design agency. In this instance I really like the use of a static left sidebar, it allows consistently intuitive navigation of the site. The area of black space on the right seems a little pointless and negatively affects the weighting of the layout. The focal slideshow, however, is great and works hard to hold your attention!

Here we have a simple stripe generation tool that\'s simply called Stripe Generator. The preview box is great and looks even better when used with really bold colours! I like the chunky custom designed sliders and effortlessly intuitive interface.

The fascinating personal site of an online entrepreneur! The overall design, of pages on a wood effect background, works well to grab and hold your attention. The use of icons is great and complements the relatively intuitive layout of the site.

BgPatterns is a tiny web app for making background patterns in a few clicks. It\'s a simple but delightful App to use and a great tool. I particularly like the simple toolset and the intuitive layout.

A great logo for a fitness company! The word revolution is perfectly played out in the shape of the logo. I particularly like the red colour that\'s been used here, although I do feel the central design should have been properly symmetrical.

A gorgeous looking blog site that\'s just been through a major redesign! I love the brilliant illustrative touches and commitment to a thematic colour palette. The icon design and use of fascinating typefaces works well throughout to keep visitors engaged.

FontStruct is a Web App designed to help you build, share, and download fonts. First off I\'m really keen on the logo, it\'s got a great retro feel to it! The toolset is simple and quick to pick up, a good sign of solid interface design.
