An edgy design with sketched type and splatter paint background elements. There is actually a ton of content on the homepage, a lot of which is text, but it has been organized nicely so that it does not look cluttered or busy.

The Swankolab App attempts to recreate the darkroom experience right on your iPhone and succeeds! Its interface is enticingly beautiful and like no other image editing App you\'ve ever seen. I especially like the interesting looking chemical bottles and the way your prints are hung up to dry.

The logo typeface on the front is very clear and effective while the right justification of the text on the back makes it just that bit different. I also like the way they are presented on a dark wooden textured background.

This site has a nice and simple design with an attractive background and easily readable typography. Some designers make the mistake of thinking that if you do not have a lot of content, something is wrong. This site shows a small amount of content can be beautiful.

I really like the simple and effective use of tabs in this App - especially the curved \'Share\' tab. The use of user photography throughout the interface is great while the way in which Instagram previews its filter effect is also a nice touch.

This site features a beautiful, bold red color scheme and a strong layout with excellent use of whitespace. There is also a lot clever JavaScript happening here. I actually thought the site was Flash when it first loaded.

Articles is an excellent App that perfectly displays Wikipedia on your iPhone. Its simple but elegant design in combination with a very readable typeface make it a pleasure to browse through the vast array of articles available. I particularly like the intuitive design of the integrated maps feature.

AppStorm is a great network of software blogs, and their new homepage is bright, bold, and a great jumping off point to the rest of the network. Icons work well to quickly show a visual representation of each different site.

This site is a great example of clean, corporate design that also happens to looks really nice. Note the heavy use of thin lines for content separation. The illustration is also very well done and really provides a great focal point.

Instapaper is incredibly simple, but executed to perfection. Text is crisp, well laid out, and a joy to read. Icons blend in with subtlety, and it's a wonderful place to spend some time reading and catching up on news!

Although Getting Things Done apps aren't always particularly "pretty", OmniFocus has done a remarkable job of making a beautiful iPad app. In particular, the "Forecast" and "Review" screens are particularly fantastic!

Things has an understated, Mac-link interface that works phenomenally well. From the simple item graphics, to the classic icons, everything looks great. Also worth noting is the fantastic "magnifying glass" effect used to highlight certain aspects of the UI.

It's not every day that you see a 3D card, and these don't fail to disappoint. Two different designs both really "stand out", and offer something unique. The one on the left in particular makes for a great Christmas gift to staff or customers.

I chose this site pretty much based solely on the header. It is a colorful, attractive and crazy piece of typographic art that really sets a unique stage for the rest of the site.

Floatnet uses very simple design that is also quite attractive. I like the slab serif typography and the simple sliding image gallery.

A really nice looking theme site with big, bold design elements and a friendly appearance. I love the frog character scattered all over the site in addition to that interesting background graphic and the treatment of the typography in the headlines.

Leaflet is an iPhone app for checking on your Envato Marketplace stats. The site is simple but gorgeous. The designer has a nice sense of color and contrast.
Posted in Web Design → SoftwareIconToucan is an excellent source for free icons to use in your designs. The site layout is nice and clean and the typography is attractive. The thin slab serif looks great in all caps.

This site uses lots of simple but interesting 3D work. There is a cube theme that is carried out in various ways across the site. Be sure to check out the little animated videos near the middle of the page, they are quite fun!
