Symbiotiq
A great business card that would make a strong impression on any prospective clients. I really like the vibrant design on the front and the way it contrasts with the simple details on the back.

True Ventures
A solid site for a venture capital firm that invests in tech based entrepreneurs. I like the divided background, the texture of the blue section really adds interest to the site. The key element here is how quickly you can get a grasp on what it is the company does.

A gorgeous set of shots from a stunning user interface. I love the subtle use of textures and the restrained colour splashes. There's a good amount of depth to the design and buttons.

Mihai Balea
A simple but effective site for a designer that makes an impact with its colour palette and layout. I like the unique layout, having everything aligned right marks this site out. I like the gallery of recent works and the subtle details, such as the moving arrow under the navigation bar.

Philip Readman
A brilliant example of an engaging portfolio site for a designer. I love the simple background and restrained use of text, it really allows the work to shine through. I particularly like the simple scrolling portfolio, each design capturing your attention individually.

Idyllic Creative Handcrafted Design
A beautiful site for a designer specialising in 'handcrafted' design. I love the illustrations, they really bring the site to life. I particularly like the colour palette, it's different enough to make a statement.

M Identity
A brilliant and engaging logo based on the letter 'M'. I love the varied and vibrant use of colour, and the overlapping effect. It could work perfectly for any company whose initials were 'M' and 'X'.

Really Simple
A clean and minimal site that uses a fantastically intuitive layout. I like the effective use of red on the white background. The gallery is slightly quirky but adds to the character of the site.

Inflicted
An immediate and striking site for an interface and web designer. The large slideshow of quotes and ideas really helps to draw visitors into the site. I particularly like the twist given to the social networking icons!

Orishiki (Clutch bag)
A fascinating design for a clutch bag. It's made from a single piece of two dimensional structure, constructed of triangular segments which can be folded like origami. The concept is intriguing, although it remains to be seen whether it can take off as a fashion item.

iwearyourshirt Calendar
Besides from being a fascinating idea for a site in itself, iwearyourshirt also has an interesting calendar interface that allows you to see which shirts will be worn on which days. I like that each day is greyed out until you scroll over it and how easy it is to see when there are days available for sale.

The Pixel
The bright pixelated colours used here immediately grab your attention and make this logo a memorable one. I'd have liked to see a more random displacement of pixels but overall the design works. The typeface is really good and the straight edges perfectly suit the pixel idea.

Stripe Generator
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.

Colour Scheme Designer
An awesome Web App for designing a colour scheme. I love the colour wheel and how well it contrasts with the grey background! I like the intuitive layout and how it fills your browser so there\'s no need to scroll.

George Bontea
A beautifully vibrant and vivacious business card for a freelance designer! The textured background and arrow design works really well but the central name totally steals the show! The colour and detail really make this card stand out.

Hong Kong Design Institute
A clean and simple logo for the Hong Kong Design Institute. I like the unfussy nature of the typeface and the use of bold. The use of a simple logo is effective in maintaining recognition.
